Notifications
Overview
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 is solely for information purposes to let you know that a
connection has been established.
Example
Both Authentication and Authorization request notifications are controlled by
whether Secure Connection is enabled for an individual service.
An example of how notifications might work when a remote device attempts
to access a service on this computer, if all notifications are enabled:
1. Authentication: a balloon notification (audio optional) appears to
prompt for a PIN code. If the PIN code does not match the code
entered on the remote device, the connection will not be allowed.
Once the remote device has been authenticated this notification will
not appear again, unless the paired relationship is broken and the
devices must re-pair.
2. Authorization: a balloon notification appears and/or a sound file
provides audio notification that a remote device is attempting to
access a Bluetooth service on this computer. Click the balloon to
proceed. A dialog box appears that offers the option of letting the
connection proceed this time only or to always allow this particular
remote device to use the service it is attempting to access.
3. Once a connection has been authorized, an additional visual and/or
audio notification may appear (if enabled). This notification is for
information only to inform the operator that a connection has been
established.
