5.4 Information Access Services (IAS)

Information access services (IAS) provide a directory of services for a device. All the applications available for connections must have entries in the IAS which determine their LSAP-SEL. This address is used when querying the application for further information about the services it provides.

According to the IrDA Lite standard, the only service primitive which is mandatory when implementing IAS is the GetValueByClass primitive. The application which makes the inquiry must provide the following information: class and attribute name. The application responding provides the LSAP-SELs that provide the requested service or an indication that the specific attribute does not exist in its database.
