Pairing Guide
What’s pairing?
Pairing is a process of associating Bluetooth devices with each other. It allows avoiding
entering access information every time when a connection is requested. Bluetooth devices
need to be paired with each other before attempting a connection at first time.
Paired devices will remain paired, even if:
1. One of the devices is un-powered.
2. A service connection is interrupted or stopped.
3. One or both devices are rebooted.
Passkey
Paired devices share a unique Passkey (also referred to as Link Key), by which they
authenticate with each other when connecting. The Passkey can be alphanumeric, numbers,
or letters, and must consist of one or up to 16 characters.
How to pair devices?
Automatically -- If a passkey is required before connection, devices will pair automatically the
first time they connect (a passkey must be successfully exchanged).
Manually -- In the main window of BlueSoleil, right click a device, select Pair Device from the
pop up menu, and then input a same passkey on both sides.
