Personal Area Networking
The Bluetooth Personal Area Networking (PAN) Profile enables PCs, laptops, PDAs, and other
Bluetooth enabled devices to form either of two kinds of PAN networks. In a Group ad-hoc
Network (GN), which functions as an isolated network, multiple PAN Users (PANUs) are linked
together via a GN controller. Alternatively, a PAN can consist of multiple PANUs linked to a
Network Access Point (NAP), which provides access to external Local Area Network (LAN)
infrastructure. BlueSoleil supports all three of these device roles ?GN (controller), PANU, and NAP.
Typical Usage
• Group Ad-hoc Network (Peer-to- peer networking)
One device acts as the GN, and others function as PANU devices. These computers can visit
each other or use an application based on TCP/IP.

• Access a LAN via a Network Access Point (or a Computer Acting as a NAP)
After the computers connect to the NAP, they become members of the LAN and can directly
communicate with other computers in the LAN.
