BLUETAKE BT007Si / BT009Si Bluetooth USB Adapter – User Manual
4.10 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.
