1. Overview - Basic Concept of MiniBluelet_Pan (Personal Area Networking)
This document is for providing a step-by-step guide for users to setup B091H1 USB Bluetooth Dogle.
Before getting into details, we will now introduce some basic concepts about the usages of Bluetooth
Wireless Home-Networking System software.
MiniBluelet_Pan is basically implementing Bluetooth wireless technology for building up the personal area
network, so its functions follow standards defined in Bluetooth specifications. It is a very powerful tool but
with some limitations. In the following content or sub-sequent chapters, we will use the general terms
client
or
server
to represent the computer hosting Bluetooth
terms, client and server, can be commonly seen or used in technical documents for computer applications.
Slave and master are frequently used in Bluetooth technical documents. For detailed definition of
Bluetooth slave and master devices, please refer to Bluetooth’s official website: http://www.bluetooth.com
or related official Bluetooth technical documents for more information. Also from time to time, we will use
the acronym, PAN, for representing personal area network – a terminology defined in Bluetooth 1.1
specifications.
1) MiniBluelet_Pan can be installed on either desktop PC or notebook computer, please refer to the
quick installation guide for system requirements.
2) The computer installed with MiniBluelet_Pan can be used as either a server or a client.
3) There can only be one server within a PAN, besides, one server can connect up to 7 clients. So
there can be up to 8 computers interconnected within a PAN.
4) One server can serve seven clients for different requests concurrently.
5) Each client can only connect to one and only server.
6) The data transmission in and out of each client will slow down when the number of clients served
by the server increases. This is due to the limitation of the Bluetooth specified bandwidth
portioned out by connected clients respectively.
7) Due to the radio characteristics of Bluetooth technology, when the distance between the client
and server is getting farther the data transmission speed will slow down respectively.
8) There could be multiple stand-alone PANs coexisting within the same environment without
mutual interference .
9) Every client can join any coexistent PANs for accessing the network resources but only one at a
time.
10) Once the server is shut down or disconnected from the PAN, all connections from the clients will
be disconnected as well.
11) If the user wants to add one more client in the PAN, the user will only need to buy one more
Bluetooth wireless Home-Networking System USB dongle.
12) The software is used to build the PAN with Bluetooth wireless Home-Networking System USB
dongles. It cannot be used for other Bluetooth PAN profiles manufactured by third-party
companies.
