Passkey
Also known as a PIN code
This is a password consisting of up to 16 alphanumeric
characters that enables a connection to be established to a
wireless device. You need to know the passkey in order to
connect to a device that requires authentication.
Even when the authentication setting has been disabled in the
User Mode Properties of the TOSHIBA Bluetooth Utility, the
passkey entry dialog box will appear automatically if
authentication is required, enabling you to authenticate a
device. A link key will be created once you have authenticated
a device, eliminating the need for a passkey to connect to that
device in the future.
Pairing
A security function. In order for Bluetooth devices to
authenticate each other, a passkey (PIN code) is entered in
each terminal when they are connected for the first time, and
a secret 128-bit link key is generated. This action is known as
"pairing."
SPP

through a virtual serial port configured for a Bluetooth
connection. This can be used for printers and printer adapters
with PDAs, using a method different from HCRP or ActiveSync
.
TCP/IP
Abbreviation of Transmission Control Protocol/Internet
Protocol.
Standard communications protocol (convention for enabling
data communication) used by the Internet. Using the same
protocol enables computers to exchange data with each other.
