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.
Click Tools | Configurations | Security, the Security
Configuration panel pops up.
On the Security Configuration panel, select High in Security
Level.
Note: If you check the Fixed Passkey and input a Bluetooth passkey, this passkey will be used as the default passkey. The other computer will then have to provide the same passkey during the connection procedure if it wants to connect to this computer.
12
Figure 3.1: Security Configuration
Step 5: Start the PAN service on Computer A.
In the BlueSoleil Main Window, click View | Service
Window.
In the Service Window, right-click the Personal Area Networking
icon. Choose Start Service. (Figure 3.2)
Figure 3.2: Start PAN Service on Computer A
13
SMC Networks - IVT BlueSoleil™ User Manual
Step 6: Search for Computer A on Computer B.
Double-click the My Device Icon (center ball). The surrounding
discovered Bluetooth devices appear.
Check to see if Computer A appears. If it does not appear,
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 Blu et oo th 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.
14
Right-click the PAN service icon; select Connect on the pop-up
menu. (Figure 3.5)
The connection is established successfully (Figure 3.6). Wait
until the valid IP address is shown on the bottom right status bar on both Computer A and Computer B.
Figure 3.5: Connect to PAN Service

Figure 3.6: Connection is established successfully.
Step 9: Computer A and Computer B are now connected. On Computer B,
go to Windows | My Network Places to find Computer A and copy files. Figure 3.7 shows where to input Computer A’s name. In Figure 3.7, Computer A is named ‘mike’.
Figure 3.7: Find Computer A in My Network Places
Step 10: To disconnect the PAN connection, disconnect from either Computer
16
A or from Computer B.
On Computer B, right-click on the PAN service icon and choose
Disconnect. (Figure 3.8)
On Computer A, right-click on the PAN service icon and choose
Stop Service. (Figure 3.9)

Figure 3.9: Stop the PAN service on Computer A
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.
Computer A: Computer B:

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.
For more detailed information about ICS and NAT, please refer to the Microsoft Windows help topic “Internet Connection Sharing”.

20
Figure 3.12: Internet Connection Sharing for a Local Area Connection on Windows 2000
Step 4: If this connection is a dial-up one, and you want automatic dialing
when another computer in your home network attempts to access external resources, then check the Enable on-demand dialing check box. Click OK.
Figure 3.13: Internet Connection Sharing for a Dial-up Connection on Windows 2000
Step 5: A message window appears as shown in Figure 3.14. Click Yes. The
IP address of the BT network adapter is changed to 192.168.0.1 and a DHCP server is started on BT network adapter.
21
SMC Networks - IVT BlueSoleil™ User Manual
Figure 3.14: Confirm Enabling Internet Connection Sharing
Note: The Internet Connection Sharing wizard will set the IP address of the BT network adapter to 192.168.0.1, and a DHCP server will be run on Computer A. PAN clients in the Bluetooth network can be set statically or dynamically to any IP address in the range
192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.253.
3.4 PAN Configuration
