Abstract
A host computing device may perform various aspects of the techniques described in this disclosure, and comprises a memory, a processor, and a personal area network (PAN) interface. The memory may store PAN configuration data for each user account of different user accounts, where the PAN configuration data includes a separate layer two host address (L2HA) for use by the PAN interface when supporting a PAN link. The processor may execute an operating system that, responsive to a first user account logging into the operating system: obtain, from the memory, first PAN configuration data of the PAN configuration data specific to the first user account; and initiate programming of the PAN interface to use a first L2HA included in the first PAN configuration data. The PAN interface may establish, using the first L2HA, a first PAN link with a first client computing device associated with the first user account.
