The settings on the General tab of the Bluetooth Configuration Panel determine device properties

and basic system security settings.

Identity section:

the vicinity; this field cannot be left blank.

• Computer type-select either Desktop or Laptop from the drop-down menu to help identify this

computer to other Bluetooth devices in the vicinity.

• Bluetooth Security Section:

• High-requires Bluetooth devices to authenticate (enter a Personal Identification Number

(PIN)) before allowing a connection to be established. Your computer and the connected

Bluetooth device will exchange data using encrypted links.

will be able to discover your computer and use it’s services.
