3 Personal Area Networking

3.1 Introduction

The Bluetooth Personal Area Networking (PAN) is a Bluetooth application, which enables devices to form an ad-hoc network or to access a remote network through a network access point.

The PAN application can be used in the following scenarios:

♦ Two or more computers (or PDAs) can be connected through PAN and can

visit each other using Windows Network Places or any application based on

TCP/IP.

♦ A computer (or PDA) can access a Local Area Network or the Internet

through a PAN Network Access Point (NAP) bridge.

♦ A computer with PAN installed acts as a TCP/IP gateway.

Each of these scenarios is now covered in more detail.
