BlipNode Configurations
45
Server Node
This pre-defined BlipNode configuration includes all BlipNet Bluetooth Services, i.e. LAN Access, PAN NAP,
FTP and OPP server. This means that all these services are available simultaneously on BlipNodes with this
configuration. Seven devices can be connected to the BlipNode simultaneously.
BlipNodes with this configuration can be used for both outgoing and incoming connections.
BlipNodes with this configuration can be used for the BlipNet mobility solution.
The services are described shortly in the following.
LAN Access
The LAP profile defines how Bluetooth enabled devices can access the services of a LAN using
PPP (Point to Point Protocol). LAN access is a basic part of BlipNet. LAN access allows the client
device to run Internet applications such as e-mail, web-browsing, etc.
PAN NAP
A BlipNode with the PAN NAP service enabled provide the facility for applications to use IP
and other networking protocols. NAP is an abbreviation of Network Access Point. A PAN NAP
user is called a PANU (PAN User). The behaviour of the a NAP is similar as a network hub. The
NAP allows a PANU device to run Internet applications such as e-mail, web-browsing, etc.
When the PAN NAP service is enabled in a BlipNode it can be used for BlipNet Mobility and it is
also possible to make NAP initiated PAN session establishment. A BlipNet application must be
implemented to do this.
