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 Ne t w or k Pla ces 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.
