BLUETOOTH SERVICES

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.
