Preface

Affixtm is a Bluetooth protocol stack for Linux developed ad Nokia Research Center in Helsinki, Finland. It is a replacement for Bluez that is included in the kernel by default.

This manual is intended to the end users who wish to use Affix with their Bluetooth equipment. Here you find instructions for Affix installation and using Affix administration utilities. In the beginning the Bluetooth technology will be shortly introduced to help you to understand what you are doing. After the survey the Affix installation will be covered. Chapters three discuss about data security. After that chapters four and five introduces couple of Bluetooth configurations. You will be shown how to create a LAN connection between two or more computers over a Bluetooth link and in the chapter six you'll learn how to use your computer with some other Bluetooth devices like mobile phone and keyboard.

Using Affix does not assume programming or deep Linux hacking, but some experience or basic knowledge about configuring and compiling the kernel is needed. I hope you have nice time with your Bluetooth devices and Affix!
