Bluetooth
Bluetooth
Bluetooth is an open standard for high-performance technology and allows
wireless communication between PCs, PDAs, mobile telephones, etc.
In contrast to infrared connections, Bluetooth does not require direct visual
contact for communication purposes and can be used over distances of up to 10
meters.
To exchange data between Bluetooth-enabled devices, the devices need to
undergo a one-off discovery procedure.
Discoverability
This function must be activated when first enabling a connection to a Bluetooth
device
The
OpenStage
is discoverable for other Bluetooth devices by default.
To prevent unauthorized access, we recommend deactivating discoverability
once you have enabled the connection to a new Bluetooth device.
Pairing
Pairing is the process used by two Bluetooth-enabled devices to "see" one
another and to "recognize" that they can exchange data. It is therefore used for
checking the access authorization of a Bluetooth device in a Bluetooth network.
To do this, a 128 bit link key is created for subsequent identification.
For information on how to configure
OpenStage
for connection to a
Bluetooth device
A connection is established for devices that are already connected even if
the "Discoverable" function is deactivated.
Pairing is only performed the first time contact is established between a
Bluetooth device and your
OpenStage
. If the Bluetooth device is
successfully paired, no further access authorization checks are
necessary. Instead, each subsequent check uses the previously created
link key.
