Difference Between Page and Inquiry

Original Post: Difference Between Page and Inquiry (SIG Forum)      Date: 2000-06-11

 

Page is used to contact a Bluetooth unit you already know the BD_ADDR and inquiry is to request the BD_ADDR of units in the area

The units in range can (or don't have to) respond to the inquiry. The units responds with their BD_ADDR and the CLK so the inquiry unit can have knowledge on the address and the clock of those units which respond to the inquiry. After that the connection can be established (by then using the Page command).
