5.3 GENERAL CONFIGURATION SETTINGS
The settings on the General tab of the Bluetooth Configuration Panel determine device
properties and basic system security settings.
Identity section:
• Computer Name-enter a unique name to identify this computer to other
Bluetooth devices in 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.
• Medium-the default setting—security is configured at the service-level. Service
level security means that each individual service must have its security settings
(Authentication, Authorization and Encryption) set independently.
If the security mode is “Medium” and service-level security is not configured, any
Bluetooth device will be able to discover your computer and use it’s services.
