Joining Personal Area Network
This chapter provides a PAN (Personal Area Network) overview and explains how to set up a PAN.
PAN Overview
NOTE: Some mobile phones and personal digital assistants (PDAs) only work with dial-up networking, some only work with PAN, and some work with both services. The PAN feature works only with those Bluetooth devices that support PAN. To find out which services are supported by your Bluetooth enabled device, check the information that came with your device.
Bluetooth personal area network (PAN) is a technology that enables you to create an Ethernet network with wireless links between mobile computers, mobile phones, and handheld devices. You can connect to the following types of Bluetooth enabled devices that work with PAN:
Personal Area Network User (PANU) device - Connecting to this device creates an ad hoc network that includes your computer and the device. An ad hoc network is used for sharing files or an internet connection. In an ad hoc network, computers and devices are connected directly to each other in stead of a data hub or router. This is also known as computer to computer network. Group ad hoc Network (GN) device - Connecting to a Bluetooth enabled GN device creates an ad hoc network that includes your computer, the GN device, and any other PANU devices that are connected to the same GN device.
5-1 5-1
5 Chapter
Network Access Point (NAP) device - Connecting to a Bluetooth enabled NAP device allows you to connect your computer to a larger network such as a home network, a corporate network, or the Internet.
Passkey
It is important to understand the passkey and its role. A passkey (sometimes called a passcode) is a number that associates your computer with a Bluetooth enabled device. For security reasons, most Bluetooth enabled devices (with some exceptions, such as mouse) require you to use a passkey. Using a passkey helps ensure that your computer is connecting to the device that you intended and not someone else's device that is nearby. Exchanging passkeys, also known as association or pairing, means getting a device to recognize your computer or another Bluetooth enabled device. With some devices, you do this by running the Add Bluetooth Device Wizard and typing in your passkey when prompted. Other devices require a different method. For more information, check the instructions that came with the device. The purpose of the passkey exchange is for Windows to positively identify the device that you want to connect to.
WARNING: Your Bluetooth device might be less secure if you use a short passkey. If you have a choice, use a longer passkey of up to 16 characters. Also, for security reasons, do not retype your passkey more often than necessary, particularly in public places where a hacker could be "eavesdropping" on your Bluetooth device.
5-2 5-2
Chapter
It is assumed that the Bluetooth wireless technology is already installed on your computer. If a passkey is listed in the documentation for your device, use it. If not, the Add Bluetooth Device Wizard can automatically generate a passkey for you or you can create on your own. Refer to Chapter 3 on how to create a passkey.

4. Select the desired device and click Next. It displays the Bluetooth passkey screen which asks you if you need a passkey to add your device. It also shows the passkey choices. See Figure 5-4 Refer to Chapter 3 on how to create a passkey.
NOTE: By default, one of the passkey buttons will be checked as shown in Figure 5-4. For security reason, you should use a passkey. Let me choose my own passkey was actually used in this example. WARNING: Encryption features and a passkey can help to secure your data. However, these and other security measures can be compromised or fail and, if that happens, your data could be visible to other devices or accessible to other devices or computers within range. Therefore, Bluetooth wireless technology should not be considered completely secure.
On the target computer, you will see a prompt requesting you to click on a diaglog box in order to allow this connection. You will be asked to enter the passkey on the target computer. At this time, Windows starts to install your device. See Figure 5-5.
