3.5 Local Service
Local service is a good example of how the web server functionality in the Bluetooth
QuickStart Board can be used. The system stores a number of relevant documents, such as:

• Blueprints
• Datasheets
• User’s Manuals
The system can of course also be configured via the web server user interface. Figure 7
