We mentioned earlier that you could change the settings of each service individually. However, all
of the local services will have common settings and Notification settings for all of the following:
These properties can be set individually for each Bluetooth services:
For General:
Service name
: User can change service name on text box.
Startup Automatically
: User can define service startup Automatically when
Bluetooth is started.
Security Connection
: User can define service with security connection or not on
check box.
For Notification:
Notifications
: provides visual and/or audio notification that a remote device is
attempting to connect (or has connected) to a service on this computer.
There are three types of notification:
Authentication request, also called a PIN code request:
This notification appears automatically in a balloon over the Windows system tray 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 appears over the Windows system tray. If the notification
balloon is ignored, the connection request will time out and fail.
Notification only
:
This type of notification does not effect access in ay way; it solely for information
purposes to let you know that a connection has been established.
The Notifications lets you associate sound (in the form of 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, depending on
security settings, including such cases:
When a PIN code is required
