Enabling/Disabling the Bluetooth Radio You may need to disable the Bluetooth radio at times, such as when onboard a commercial aircraft. For newer laptop computers, pressing FN+F2 switches back and forth between Enable Bluetooth Radio and Disable Bluetooth Radio.
For the two devices to become paired, the operator of device #2 must acknowledge and respond to the Bluetooth PIN Code Request. After devices are paired, they automatically exchange the Bluetooth PIN Code whenever a service connection is attempted. After two Bluetooth devices are paired, and one device attempts to connect to the other to access a particular service, the device making the connection (device #1) sends a Bluetooth Service Authorization request to the other device (device #2).
Bluetooth Device Identity Every Bluetooth device has a unique Bluetooth device address (BDA) assigned to it during the manufacturing process. This address cannot be changed by the user. The BDA of a device is usually displayed in hexadecimal format; 00:D0:B7:03:2E:9F is a valid BDA. Each Bluetooth device also has a name that can be assigned by the user to help distinguish that Bluetooth device from other Bluetooth devices.
Secure Connection You will require a passkey or link key each time you attempt to make a connection. All data exchanged over the Bluetooth connection is encrypted. Depending on other configuration options, authorization may also be required. Security Request If you have Secure Connection enabled, a Bluetooth PIN Code Request and Bluetooth Authorization dialog box may appear when you attempt to make a connection.
