4.14 The Personal Area Networking (PAN) profile
What is a PAN?
PAN enables a group of devices to connect to each other using
Bluetooth.
There are three types of PAN:
PAN (U) or PAN (User) - A Bluetooth device that
communicates as a client with a Group Ad-hoc Network (PAN
(GN)), or a Network Access Point (PAN (NAP)), or with
another Bluetooth device, through a point-to-point connection.
PAN (NAP) - A Bluetooth device that provides the service of
routing network packets between PAN (User) devices.
PAN (GN) - Enables two or more PAN (User) devices to
interact with each other through a wireless network without
using additional networking hardware.
PAN is not currently supported on Windows XP installations.
CSR Harmony currently only supports PAN (U) but can connect
devices that use all the PAN types
