Common Configuration Settings
These properties can be set individually for each Bluetooth service:
•
Service Name - the default name of each service can be changed.
•
Secure Connection - requires that remote devices provide proof of identity and that all data be encrypted.
•
Startup Automatically - starts the service automatically when Bluetooth is started.
•
Notifications - provides visual and/or audio notification that a remote device is attempting to connect (or
has connected) to a service on this computer.
Notifications
There are three types of notification:
•
Authentication request, also called a PIN code request - this notification is displayed automatically in a
balloon over the Notification area, at the far right of the taskbar if a Personal Identification Code is required
before a connection can proceed. An audio file can also be associated with the notification.
•
Authorization request, also called a connection request - this type of notification can be visual, audio, or
both. It notifies you of attempts to access a Bluetooth service on this computer; the connection will not
proceed until you click the balloon that is displayed over the Notification area, at the far right of the
taskbar. If the notification balloon is ignored, the connection request will time out and fail.
•
Notification only - this type of notification does not affect access in any way; it is solely for information
purposes to let you know that a connection has been established.
Example: Both Authentication and Authorization request notifications are controlled by whether Secure
Connection is enabled for an individual service. An example of how notifications might work when a remote
device attempts to access a service on this computer, if all notifications are enabled:
•
Authentication - a balloon notification (audio optional) prompts you for a PIN code. If the PIN code
does not match the code entered on the remote device, the connection will not be allowed. After the
remote device has been authenticated this notification will not appear again, unless the paired
relationship is broken. If the paired relationship is broken, the devices must re-pair.
•
Authorization - a balloon notification is displayed and/or a sound file provides audio notification that a
remote device is attempting to access a Bluetooth service on this computer. Click the balloon to
proceed. A dialog box prompts you to enable the connection only once, or to allow this device to use
the service every time.
•
After a connection has been authorized, an additional visual and/or audio notification may be
displayed (if enabled). This notification is for information only to inform the operator that a connection
has been established.
Note: After two devices are paired, the authentication notification will no longer be displayed when
a connection is attempted. If Always allow... is enabled during the authorization process, the
authorization notification will not be displayed on future connection attempts. Connection notification
only happens if it has been enabled on the Notifications tab of the individual service being accessed.
Service Access Notification
Notifications lets you associate a sound (Windows *.wav file) and/or a visual indication with access attempts
by remote devices.
A different notification sound can be associated with each local Bluetooth service.
