514<title>Setting up a Personal Area Network (PAN)</title>

517<note>
518Please note that setting up a Personal Area Network is optional. This section
519describes how to set up and connect to a Network Access Point, though setting
520up a Group Ad-Hoc Network follows a similar way.

524First of all, we need the <c>bnep</c> module loaded. And probably we want it
525loaded each time the computer starts.
526</p>
527
528<pre caption="Loading the bnep module">
529# <i>modprobe bnep</i>
530# <i>echo "bnep" &gt;&gt; /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6</i>

532
533<p>
534We have to start the <c>pand</c> daemon in the host that will provide the NAP.
535We'll have to specify that we want to provide a NAP service and that this host
536will be the master, thus the other hosts that connect to it, the slaves.
537Another possible service is GN (Group ad-hoc Network).
538</p>
539
540<pre caption="Running the pand daemon">
541# <i>pand --listen --role NAP --master --autozap</i>
542</pre>
543
544<p>
545After doing that, we have a host listening, so the rest of hosts just have to
546connect to that one.
547</p>
548
549<pre caption="Connecting to the Network Access Point">

554If everything went fine, we can now configure the IP addresses of our hosts.

583Finally, we can do a simple test to see that the network is working fine.
