2.3.4 Bluetooth
Ailonet supports at the moment the routing of traffic coming through Bluetooth to other interfaces or
networks of Ailonet. Ailonet can therefore function as an access point for other Bluetooth devices
to the external network. With the Bluetooth settings, the discoverability of Ailonet on the device in-
quiries of other devices and the settings of bonds and connections can be influenced.
The controlling of discoverability and connections is simple. The user can choose whether Ailonet
can be discovered with Bluetooth device inquiries and whether Bluetooth connections are allowed.
Pairing always requires a PIN code. You can ask for authentication for connections, in which case
Ailonet requires pairing when establishing a connection. The connection initiator is asked to enter
PIN code, and if the code is correct, he is allowed to establish a connection.
From the Bluetooth settings front page you can see, to which devices Ailonet is paired and to
which it has a connection. The pairings made on the page
Device discovery
appear updated on the
front page. The device name, Bluetooth address and device class can be seen on this list. The de-
vice class indicates the type of Bluetooth device.
2.3.4.1 Settings
The Ailonet name which can be discovered as the device name in the network is defined on the
page

2.3.4.2 Security
On the page

the security of Ailonet Bluetooth connetions

accepting the connections to be taken to Ailonet. The Change PIN code function can be found on
the same page. The PIN code inquiry can be switched off by choosing

, in which
case a connection can be established without a PIN code inquiry. If the option

chosen, no connection can be established without bonding. If

sen, encryption is used in the connection, if possible.

Security:
This choice defines, whether Ailonet can receive a Bluetooth connection or whether any device can
bond to Ailonet. If
Not discoverable
is chosen, Ailonet cannot be found in device inquiries and it
doesn't allow connections or bonding. If the option
Connectable
is chosen, Ailonet cannot be found
in device inquiries and Ailonet cannot be bonded to, but devices previously bonded to Ailonet can
connect to Ailonet. If
Discoverabe/Connectable
is chosen, a Bluetooth device can bond to or es-
tablish a connection to Ailonet and can be found on device inquiries.
