IT policy rule
Recommended use
Maximum Connection Heartbeat Period
Specify the maximum heartbeat period, in seconds. During each
heartbeat period, the paired BlackBerry device or computer sends a
heartbeat, which the BlackBerry Smart Card Reader acknowledges.
If either side fails to send or acknowledge a heartbeat in the
maximum heartbeat period, the BlackBerry device or computer
closes the Bluetooth connection. When the Bluetooth connection
closes, the disconnected timer starts if you or the user turned that
feature on the BlackBerry device or computer. The BlackBerry device
or computer deletes the secure pairing keys when the disconnected
timer expires.
Use this IT policy rule to prevent a user with malicious intent from
using a low-level Bluetooth heartbeat to perform the following
actions:
•
keep the Bluetooth connection open between the BlackBerry
device or computer and the BlackBerry Smart Card Reader
•
keep the secure pairing keys present, for an extended period
after the BlackBerry device and BlackBerry Smart Card Reader
should close the Bluetooth connection

their current connections to the BlackBerry Smart Card Reader
