a Remote Device</title><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>

<p>Thought should be given to the way in which a remote device will be selected

for connection before moving on to begin the actual connection. This document

discusses some of the issues that should be considered. </p>

<section><title>Methods for selecting a remote device</title> <p> An application

can determine the remote device to which it should talk in several ways, it

may be:  </p><ul>

<li><p> hard-wired,  </p> </li>

<li><p> a stored preference (application stores a previously selected device

profile to reuse),  </p> </li>

<li><p> selected by the user, or  </p> </li>

<li><p> determined programmatically.  </p> </li>

</ul><p> Each of these may be appropriate in different situations. In the

first couple of cases, the address of the remote device is simply retrieved

from storage. Functionality for the third case is provided by the<xref href="GUID-C49F63A4-BA9D-5C99-8C82-EB3163E30D3E.dita">Bluetooth

UI</xref> . </p><p> The final case, the program itself determining the remote

device, could be adopted for the following reasons: </p><ul>

<li><p> to provide a customised device selection UI to the user  </p> </li>

<li><p> to select a device based on some other criteria, for example, "use

the least busy LAN access point"  </p> </li>

</ul><p> The next page,<xref href="GUID-CED041C8-D68D-55D1-957E-1A48EEFFF851.dita">Inquiring

 About Remote Devices</xref> , discusses in detail how to go about this.  </p></section>

all the steps involved in setting up and communicating over a Bluetooth connection. </p> <ul>
