Hi Marcel,

I am not really interested in the actual number of parked devices, I just
assumed if you can support one parked slave, you can support an arbirtary
number.

I will therefore re-phrase my question to: Can one PAN support 9 PANUs,
i.e. there will always be atleast one parked PANU. The GN will now have to
juggle PANUs between active and parked modes so they all seem "connected"
and are able to communicate with each other.

Thanks.

Assed

Can one PAN support 9 devices i.e. 8 active and 1 parked
