For Notification:
Notifications
: provides visual and/or audio notification that a remote device is
attempting to connect (or has connected) to a service on this computer.
There are three types of notification:
Authentication request, also called a PIN code request:
This notification appears automatically in a balloon over the Windows system
tray if a Personal Identification Code is required before a connection can
proceed. An audio file can also be associated with the notification.
Authorization request, also called a connection request:
This type of notification can be visual, audio, or both. It notifies you of attempts
to access a Bluetooth service on this computer; the connection will not proceed
until you click the balloon that appears over the Windows system tray. If the
notification balloon is ignored, the connection request will time out and fail.
Notification only
:
This type of notification does not effect access in any way; it solely for information
purposes to let you know that a connection has been established.
The Notifications lets you associate sound (in the form of Windows *.wav file) and/or a visual
indication with access attempts by remote devices.
