Pairing Devices

Pairing allows you to avoid entering access information each time a
connection is attempted. Paired devices share a unique link key, which they
exchange each time they connect.
NOTE: The mate of a pair always appears in My Bluetooth Places, even if the
mate is not turned on or is out of connection range.
Paired devices remain paired even when
•
One of the devices is not on
•
A service connection is interrupted or the service stopped
•
One or both devices are rebooted.
To Pair with another device
If Secure Connection is enabled, devices will pair automatically the first time
they connect (a passkey must be successfully exchanged).
To pair with a device manually:
In the Folders pane of My Bluetooth Places, right-click a device, select Pair
Device from the shortcut menu, and then follow the on-screen instructions.
Remove Pairing
In the Folders pane of My Bluetooth Places, right-click a paired device and
select Unpair Device from the shortcut menu.
Passkey
An alphanumeric string up to 16 characters in length. Passkeys are also
called Personal Identification Numbers, or PIN codes.
A passkey may be required if the Secure Connection option is enabled for a
Bluetooth service or application.

Secure Connection

A passkey or link key is required each time a connection is attempted.
All data exchanged over the Bluetooth connection is encrypted.
Depending on other configuration options, authorization may also be
required.

Security Request Dialog Box

A Bluetooth passkey request and/or Bluetooth Authorization request balloon
may appear over the Windows system tray when a connection is attempted if
Secure Connection is enabled.
Click the balloon to proceed.
