5.6.3 To remove a user-defined Bluetooth Serial Port

removed, and then click the Delete button.
The Delete button is only available when the Bluetooth Serial Port service or a userdefined serial
port service is selected.
To change a local service’s properties: from the Bluetooth Configuration Panel, Local Services
tab, double-click the service name.
Make the changes by selecting or clearing the appropriate boxes and click the OK button.
The service properties that may be changed are:
• Startup—when enabled, starts the service when BTW initializes. The default setting is
enabled. If Startup is not enabled the service can still be started manually.
• Authorization—when enabled, requires confirmation by the server operator before a remote
device is allowed to connect to this service. The default setting is disabled. Authentication
(see below)—is automatically enabled when Authorization is enabled.
• Encryption—when enabled, encrypts data exchanged by the Bluetooth server and the
Bluetooth client. The default setting is disabled. Encryption applies to the Bluetooth
connection ONLY. Data transmitted to/from a modem, Local Area Network, etc., is NOT
affected by this setting. Authentication is automatically enabled when Encryption is enabled.
• Authentication—when enabled, requires that the client and server exchange a passkey or
Link Key before a connection is established. The default setting is disabled. Devices are
paired automatically when authentication is complete.
• Service Name—Enter a service name (one to 99 alphanumeric characters) in this field. In
most cases the default service name will serve. However, in environments where there is
more than one device of the same type or one device provides more than one service of the
same type (this is only possible for the Bluetooth Serial Port service), the service name can be
customized.
