Pairing Bluetooth Devices From The Web Interface - Inmarsat EXPLORER 500 User Manual

Pairing Bluetooth devices from the web interface

What is pairing?
Bluetooth Pairing happens when two Bluetooth enabled devices agree to communicate with one
another. When this happens, the two devices exchange passkeys and join a pair. The pairing
process only takes place the first time the two devices are connected. Once the two devices have
established a pair, they automatically accept communication when one device recognizes the
other device.
Preparing the EXPLORER™ 500 for Bluetooth pairing
To prepare the Bluetooth interface on the EXPLORER 500, do as follows:
1. Connect a computer to the EXPLORER 500, e.g. using the LAN interface.
2. Access the web interface from your connected computer.
Refer to The web interface on page 75.
3. In the web interface, select SETTINGS > Bluetooth and make sure that Bluetooth is Enabled.
4. Use the predefined Device name or type in a new name for your EXPLORER 500.
The Device name is shown to other Bluetooth devices, if the EXPLORER 500 is configured to
be shown (refer to step 6. below).
5. Use the predefined Default passkey or type in a new one.
This passkey is used by default when pairing devices with the EXPLORER 500.
