Establishing Wireless Communication; Pairing Your Computer With A Trilink - Fourier TriLink User Manual

4.3. Establishing wireless communication

TriLink uses either Bluetooth wireless technology or USB cable connection to
connect to your computer. To use Bluetooth technology your computer must be
equipped with Bluetooth capabilities.
To avoid interference between several devices TriLink employs a procedure called
3
"pairing" that allows any computer to communicate with only one specific TriLink.
Every TriLink has a unique 'name'. The pairing process tells the computer to address
only a specific 'name'.
Before you work with TriLink and a computer you have to perform this pairing
procedure. MultiLab stores the TriLink's address and will automatically connect to
this specific TriLink every time you open MultiLab.
You can always repeat the pairing process if you want to connect to another TriLink.
The pairing procedure is protected by a password in order to prevent an
unauthorized person from changing the address.
Make sure no USB cable is connected. MultiLab will not establish Bluetooth
connection while the USB cable is connected even if the paring process
was successful.

Pairing (or bonding) is a concept introduced to create a first time recognition of what devices
are allowed to communicate with each other or which devices belong together. Devices can
usually not establish a communication session without a first time pairing.
