BlueTooth Random Info:
ACL AND SCO REFER TO
ACL (Asynchronous Connectionless Link) This is a control data link.
SCO (Synchronous Connection Oriented Link) This is a voice data
link. While Bluetooth is the technology used to connect
devices from different manufacturers without wires, the devices
still have to talk to each other while providing what ever service
they are designed for. Headsets are audio devices for speech, talk
and listen; but when a headset is not doing its job it is still
communicating with the other device referred to as the audio gateway
(AG). This would be a cell phone or USB dongle for
instance. Once the headset has completed its pairing to
the AG it goes into a stand by mode of sorts. As long as the headset
and AG are within range they are connected by the ACL. The headset
and AG are checking in with each other to verify range, check for
control signals like incoming calls, redial or voice control
requests. If the AG receives a call and the headset ACL
is good the AG will signal the headset. The headset will beep to let
the user know a call has arrived. Pressing the call control on the
headset lets the AG know it is okay to open the SCO and voice data
will be exchanged between the headset and AG.
