Maximum Number Of Blackberry Transactions It Policy Rule - Blackberry Infinity B1367WD User Manual

Policy Reference Guide
Use this rule to prevent an attacker from using a low-level Bluetooth heartbeat period to keep a Bluetooth connection between
a BlackBerry device or computer and a BlackBerry Smart Card Reader open and the secure pairing keys present.
If you configure this rule, the user cannot turn off the heartbeat period but can change the Connection Heartbeat Period field
on a BlackBerry device or a computer to a lower value.
