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.

13 Bluetooth Glossary
Bluetooth Authentication Bluetooth authentication is the procedure to verify
whether another Bluetooth enabled device has the right to access your computer. During
this procedure, a Bluetooth passkey is requested on both sides of the connection. If the
passkeys are the same, the authentication procedure is a success and the connection can
be setup. If the passkeys are different, then authentication fails and a connection cannot
be established.
Bluetooth Authorization Bluetooth authorization is the procedure to verify whether
you are going to allow (authorize) other Bluetooth enabled devices to use Bluetooth
services on your Bluetooth enabled device. Every Bluetooth service in your BlueSoleil™
has an authorization setting. The authorization devices list for each service records the
devices that have been authorized for that service. The user can change the
authorization status for each device.
Bluetooth Connection A Bluetooth connection refers to the Bluetooth link that can be
set up between two Bluetooth devices. Connected Bluetooth devices have a server/ client
relationship. One Bluetooth device provides services and another Bluetooth device uses
these Bluetooth services.
Bluetooth Connection Shortcut Connection shortcut is used to save time used in
searching for devices and browsing services. Once a connection has been established, it
can be saved as a shortcut. The shortcut is then used to re-establish the connection,
without having to search for the remote Bluetooth device and required Bluetooth service.
Bluetooth Device Bluetooth Devices can refer to either of the following:
(1) When referring to the local device configuration, a Bluetooth Device is the local
Bluetooth hardware, e.g. USB dongle, UART device, PCMCIA card or BCSP device.
(2) When referring to the Bluetooth application, the Bluetooth device is the Bluetooth
system as a whole, e.g. a Bluetooth modem, Bluetooth mobiles or a Bluetooth PDA. A
computer together with the BlueSoleil™ and the Bluetooth dongle would also be
addressed as a remote Bluetooth device by other Bluetooth devices.
Bluetooth Device Address A unique 48-bit address that distinguishes different
Bluetooth transceivers. Every Bluetooth device has a unique address so that other
devices can find it and communicate with it. The address appears in the form of
00:03:20:00:0D:0A.
Bluetooth Device Class According to the Bluetooth standard, every Bluetooth device
is assigned a device type, which is represented in the Bluetooth device class. The
Bluetooth device class is three bytes in length in the form of 04:01:00. On the computer
side, the class may be Server, Desktop or Laptop. Users will be asked to select it during
first time set-up.
Bluetooth Device Inquiry To use Bluetooth, the user has to first find the remote
device. The searching procedure is called device inquiry. There are two kinds of inquiry
procedure; General Inquiry and Limited Inquiry. General Inquiry will find all the
Bluetooth devices in ‘general discoverable mode’ and ‘limited discoverable mode’. Limited
Inquiry will find only the devices in ‘limited discoverable mode’.
Bluetooth Dial-up Networking This is the implementation of the Bluetooth Dial-up
Networking profile (DUN). Using DUN, Bluetooth devices can dial-up to the Internet via a
Bluetooth modem or a Bluetooth mobile phone.
Bluetooth FAX This is the implementation of the Bluetooth FAX profile (FAX). Using
FAX, Bluetooth devices can send a FAX via a Bluetooth mobile.
Bluetooth File Transfer This is the implementation of the Bluetooth File Transfer
profile (FTP). Bluetooth File Transfer enables the transfer files between Bluetooth devices.
Bluetooth HCRP This is the implementation of the Bluetooth Hardcopy Cable
Replacement profile (HCRP). HCRP provides services to replace the cables between hosts
and peripheral devices with a Bluetooth link. HCRP is mainly used for wireless printing.
Bluetooth Information Synchronization This is the implementation of the Bluetooth
Synchronization profile (SYNC). Using Synchronization, Bluetooth devices can
synchronize messages, notes, calendars and cards with each other.
Bluetooth LAN Access This is the implementation of the Bluetooth LAN Access profile
(LAP). Using LAP, Bluetooth devices can access Local Area Network via LAN access
points.
Bluetooth Object Push This is the implementation of the Bluetooth Object Push profile
(OPP). Using OPP, Bluetooth devices can transfer messages, notes, calendars and cards
with each other.
Bluetooth Passkey In the Bluetooth authentication procedure, a Bluetooth passkey is
requested on both connection sides. The same Bluetooth passkey should be input on
both sides. If the passkeys are the same, the authentication procedure is successful and
connections can be setup. If the passkeys are different, the connection and
authentication will fail.
Bluetooth Peripheral Device This is the implementation of the Bluetooth Human
Interface Device profile (HID). By using HID, Bluetooth peripheral input devices such as a
Bluetooth mouse or keyboard, can remotely interface with the host computer.
Bluetooth Personal Area Networking This is the implementation of the Bluetooth
Personal Area Networking profile (PAN). Using PAN, Bluetooth devices can connect to
each other to form ad-hoc networks. They can form a TCP/IP network or connect to a
Local Area Network and the Internet.
Bluetooth Printer This is the implementation of the Bluetooth Hard-copy Cable
Replacement profile (HCRP) as a printer. Bluetooth Printer allows Bluetooth devices to
wirelessly print documents to a Bluetooth printer.
Bluetooth Security Bluetooth security is an important part of the Bluetooth wireless
communication technology. Bluetooth security enables illegal access to your computer to
be rejected. There are three levels of security: Low, Medium and High. In Low level,
there is no security check. In Medium level, remote Bluetooth devices can browse your
services. Security is set on every service. The service can be set to request or not to
request for authentication and authorization. If you request for authentication, the
remote device will be asked to enter the same passkey as the one in your computer.
Otherwise, the Bluetooth passkey is not requested. If authorization is set, the remote
device has to be in the authorized devices list.
Bluetooth Service A Bluetooth device may offer certain functions for other Bluetooth
devices to use. These functions are called Bluetooth services. For example, a Bluetooth
mobile phone can offer four services, which include synchronization, dial-up networking,
file transfer and serial port. In BlueSoleil™, all services need to be started manually
before use..
Bluetooth Service Browse A remote Bluetooth device can provide one or more
Bluetooth services. To use the services that the remote device provides, the user has to
first find the services. This is called service browse.
Bluetooth Serial Port This is the implementation of the Bluetooth Serial Port profile
(SPP). SPP emulates a serial port over Bluetooth, for the Bluetooth device.
Bonding Bonding is the creation of a relationship between two devices, which are
known to each other prior to the bonding procedure. A user initiates the bonding
procedure and enters a passkey to create a bond between two devices. This differs from
the authentication procedure where the user is requested to enter a passkey during the
establishment of the link.
Connectable Bluetooth devices can be connectable or non-connectable. When the
device is connectable, other devices can connect to it.
DHCP The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an Internet protocol for
automating the configuration of computers that use TCP/IP.
Bluetooth Dongle A Bluetooth device which can be added onto a computer or notebook
to make it Bluetooth enabled, A Bluetooth dongle is typically a USB device.
General Discoverable Bluetooth devices have three modes: General discoverable,
Limited discoverable and Non-discoverable mode. A Bluetooth device will respond to a
General Inquiry if it is in general discoverable or limited discoverable mode.
HID A Human Interface device such as a keyboard or mouse.
ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) For more detailed information about ICS, please
refer to the Microsoft Windows help topic: Internet Connection Sharing.
Limited Discoverable Bluetooth devices have three modes: General discoverable,
Limited discoverable and Non-discoverable mode. In Limited discoverable mode, a
Bluetooth device will only respond to a Limited Inquiry.
LAN A LAN is a Local Area Network.
LAN Access Point One of entities defined in the LA profiles, the LAN Access Point acts
like a router between a Bluetooth piconet and an external network.
NAT Network Address Translation (NAT) is used to re-map IP numbers from one range
to another range of network addresses.
Non-Connectable A Bluetooth devices can be connectable or non-connectable. When
it is non-connectable, other devices cannot connect to it. This is used in BlueSoleil™ only
when the user does not want another device to connect to their computer.
Non-discoverable Bluetooth devices have three modes: General discoverable, Limited
discoverable and Non-discoverable mode. In Non-discoverable mode, a Bluetooth device
will not respond to any inquiry, so another Bluetooth device will not be able to find it.
Non-pairable A Bluetooth device can be pairable or non-pairable. When it is nonpairable, it will not accept a bonding request from other devices.
Pairable A Bluetooth device can be pairable or non-pairable. When it is pairable, it will
accept a bonding request from other devices. After the bonding process is finished
successfully, two devices are paired. They now form a trusted relationship. There is no
need to exchange Bluetooth Passkeys the next time they connect.
Piconet A collection of devices connected via Bluetooth wireless technology in an ad
hoc fashion. A piconet starts with two connected devices, such as a portable PC and an
Access Point, and may expand to eight connected devices. All Bluetooth devices are peer
units and have identical implementations. However, when establishing a piconet, one unit
will act as a master and the other(s) as slave(s) for the duration of the piconet
connection. All devices have the same physical channel utilizing the same Frequencyhopping sequence, defined by the master device clock and the Bluetooth Device Address.
PIM Personal Information Management.
Radio Signal Strength Bluetooth operates on the 2.4G ISM band. The radio signal is
stronger when the remote device is closer or the remote device has a higher radio output.
The radio signal is weak when the remote device is distant or the remote device has a
weak radio output. The strength of the remote device's radio signal affects the quality of
the communication of the two Bluetooth devices. When the radio signal is weak, the
Bluetooth data transfer speed is slow. However, if the two devices are too close and the
radio signal is too strong, the Bluetooth data transfer speed is also slow because the
"sound" is too loud to "hear". The radio signal strength is always referred to as RSSI in
Bluetooth.
Remote Bluetooth Device My Bluetooth device sees all other Bluetooth enabled
devices as remote Bluetooth devices. For example, a Bluetooth modem, Bluetooth
mobiles or a Bluetooth PDA .
Start Bluetooth Service Start the selected Bluetooth service. Only after the service is
started, can other devices browse the service and connect to it.
Stop Bluetooth Service Stop the selected Bluetooth service. After the service is
stopped, other devices cannot browse the service or connect to it. The existing
connection will be disconnected.
