2.3 Typical Usage

The Bluetooth QuickStart Kit can be used to easily create advanced MMI (Man-Machine-
Interfaces) based on Internet technologies:

• Use the web server to expose information and parameters that can be controlled.
• Use the file system to store HTML files and picture files.
• Use the serial channel to communicate (expose information or control parameters)

with ANY System.

• Access the system directly via a PDA, a laptop, or a Bluetooth LAN access point.

Figure 2 below illustrates how the Bluetooth QuickStart Board can be connected to any
embedded system and expose internal variables in this system, or alternatively controls
