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.
3.2 Connect Two Computers
This section outlines the steps involved in connecting two computers, Computer A and
Computer B.
Computer A: Computer B:
Notebook/ Laptop PIII, 800MHz, 128M Desktop, PIII, 600MHz, 128M
A Bluetooth USB dongle A Bluetooth USB dongle
Windows 2000 Windows 2000
IVT BlueSoleil™ IVT BlueSoleil™
Step 1: Insert Bluetooth USB dongles in both computers.
Step 2: Start BlueSoleil™ in both computers.
Step 3: Set device name of each computer to anything you want. Here they
are named Computer A and Computer B.
♦ In the BlueSoleil™ Main Window of Computer A, click Tools |
My Bluetooth Device. Enter ‘Computer A’ in the device name
field in the My Bluetooth Device window.
♦ Repeat for Computer B.
Step 4: Set the Security Level.

double-click the My Device Icon again. Repeat the operation
until you find Computer A.
Step 7: Find the PAN service on Computer A.
♦ Double-click the Computer A device icon on Computer B.
♦ Enter the Bluetooth passkey (if security is set to High on either
side) to start the authenticating process. The Enter Bluetooth
Passkey window pops up on Computer A. Input any characters
or numbers, e.g. “12”. The Enter Bluetooth Passkey window
pops up on Computer B. Input exactly the same characters or
numbers as you input for Computer A, e.g. “12”. (Figure 3.3)
♦ Once authentication is complete, the PAN service is found.
Figure 3.3: Input passkey
Figure 3.4: PAN service is found
Step 8: Connect to Computer A.
♦ Right-click the PAN service icon; select Connect on the pop-up
menu. (Figure 3.5)

Advanced Usage:
♦ Computer A is now the center node. Other computers, for example,
Computers C, D and E, can connect to Computer A with BlueSoleil™ following
the same steps as those for Computer B.
♦ Computer A, B, C, D and E can access each other using the Windows
Network Places. This forms a Bluetooth ad-hoc networking environment.
Note: Computer A can currently only support up to 7 connections.
Also it takes about 1 minute before an IP address can be obtained on the client side
(Computer B) unless a DHCP server is running on the server side (Computer A).
3.3 Computer with PAN acting as a TCP/IP Gateway
The following sections outline how to enable Computer B to access the Internet through
Computer A.

Network Adapter connecting to the
Internet
Step 1: Enable Internet access sharing on Computer A.
♦ See “Section 3.2: Connect Two Computers”, and complete Steps
1 to 7.
♦ Refer to steps outlined in “Section 3.4.1 Connect to the Internet
using ICS”, to set up Internet sharing.
Step 2: Computer B can now access the Internet.
Advanced Usage:
♦ Computer A is now the center node of the network. Other computers with
BlueSoleil™ installed, for example, Computers C, D and E, can connect to
Computer A following the same steps as those for Computer B.
♦ Computers A, B, C, D and E can access each other using the Windows My
Network Places and form a Bluetooth ad-hoc networking. Computers B, C,
D and E can then access the Internet through Computer A.
Note: Computer A can currently only support up to 7 connections. Also it takes about 1
minute before an IP address can be obtained, unless Computer A is connected to a DHCP
server.
3.3.1 Connect to the Internet using ICS
The PAN server can share a network connection with PAN clients with Windows ICS. ICS
(Internet Connection Sharing) uses NAT (Network Address Translation) to share a
network connection. PAN clients use internal network addresses (192.168.0.x). ICS is
suitable for both dial-up and LAN connections.
