DETAIL

Standalone

peripherals

Not all wireless connections are

network connections. Though the

distinctions may often be

somewhat blurry, some wireless

technologies -- such as the

Bluetooth technology that is

becoming popular in mobile

phones and handheld computers --

are more about connecting a

computing device to a peripheral,

rather than connecting computers

and other devices in a network.

For instance, when a handheld

computer connects with a walk-

up wireless printer, or when a

mobile phone connects with a

vending machine, the interactions

between them are typical of a

standalone computer talking to a

peripheral device. In essence, the

wireless connection replaces the

cable in a standard peripheral

connection. Compared to network

connections, such wireless

peripheral connections work at

short ranges and slow speeds.

(In this tutorial, we will

concentrate on the networking

that is typified by 802.3-type

wired networks and 802.11b-type

wireless networks.)
