5.2 BLUETOOTH DEVICE IDENTITY
Every Bluetooth device has a unique 48-bit binary Bluetooth Device Address (BDA)
burned into its EEPROM. This address cannot be changed by the end-user.
A device’s BDA is usually displayed in hexadecimal format; 00:D0:B7:03:2E:9F is a
valid BDA. You can find the BDA from the
Bluetooth Configuration Panel -> Hardware tab
-> Device Address
.
Each Bluetooth device also has an operator-configurable, user-friendly name to help
distinguish it from other Bluetooth devices. The user-friendly name may be up to 99
alphanumeric characters in length and may contain spaces.
My Personal Computer
is a
valid user-friendly name.
