To re-enable specific device discovery re-select “Report only selected Bluetooth devices.
SECURITY Authentication Authentication is used to verify identity; it requires a passkey or link key from the remote device. When a remote device attempts access, a visual and/or audio warning notifies the local operator. If the notification is ignored, access is denied after a preset timeout. When devices are “paired,” those devices automatically exchange a link key and Authentication is carried out without operator intervention.
Encryption Encrypting data translates it into an unreadable format using a secret key or password. Decrypting the data requires the same key or password that was used to encrypt it. Link Key A unique, internally generated, access code based on a passkey, the Bluetooth Device Address and an internally generated random number. Link keys are generated automatically when devices Pair. After a link key is generated, manual entry of the passkey is not required.
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.
