If you select the checkbox on the main screen, you will be permitted to connect to all services
without Authorization. When devices are paired, the configuration information is saved on both
devices. These paired devices will then remain “paired” until the relationship is broken on both
devices.
To break a paired device relationship:
1. In the Windows system tray, right-click the
Bluetooth Tray
icon.
Select
Setup
and then select
Security
from the submenu.
2. The
Bluetooth Security dialog box
appears, displaying a
Paired Devices
list.
3. Select a device from the list and click the
Delete
button.
4. Click
Done
to confirm the change.
Note:
Pairing must be broken on both devices.
Passkey
A Passkey is a password that is made up of 16 or less characters. Passkeys are also referred to
as PIN codes, or Personal Identification Numbers. In BTW, passkeys are used in the
Authentication and Encryption process.
Security Request Dialog Box
Depending on your security settings, you may see a
Bluetooth Authorization
or
Bluetooth
Passkey Request dialog box
when a connection is attempted. But this is only if you have either
Authorization or Authentication enabled.
The method of notification depends on the version of your Windows:
Windows 2000, Windows ME, and Windows XP –
a bubble
message is displayed over the
Bluetooth Tray
icon in the
Windows system tray.
Windows 98SE –
the BTW icon in the Windows system tray
blinks.
Regardless of the version of your Windows, click the
Bluetooth Tray
icon in the Windows system
tray and then follow the on-screen instructions. The instructions vary, depending on the security
configuration of the system. If the security notification is ignored after a preset timeout, the
connection request will fail.
In the
Security Request dialog box
, you will see the following:
Device Name:
displays the user-friendly name of the device that is
attempting to connect.
Request to access:
displays the service that the remote device is
trying to access.
OK:
grants permission to establish connection.
Cancel:
connection is denied.
