4.3.2 General Security
To access the security configuration screen, click My Bluetooth | Security…

Security Level

Low: if checked, other devices will be able to access your device freely without entering a
passkey. However, if the remote device requires a passkey to connect, then both devices need
to exchange passkeys.

Medium: the medium level provides service level security. You can assign the appropriate
level of access for each specific service. For more details, see Chapter 4.3.4, Local Services
Security
.

High: if checked, passkeys must be exchanged for every incoming and outgoing connection,
unless the two devices have already paired in the past.

Bluetooth Passkey

Set Default Passkey: use this setting to create a default passkey for all connections. This saves
you the effort of manually creating a passkey whenever one is required.

Data Encryption

Enable Data Encryption: if checked, the data transmitted will be encrypted.

4.3.3 Managing Device Pairings
To access the device security configuration screen, click My Bluetooth | Security and click on the
Devices tab.

Paired Devices: this screen lists devices which have already paired with the local device.

Remove Pairing: click to remove the pairing relationship between the selected device and the
local device.

Authorization: click to select the local Bluetooth services that you wish to allow the selected
paired device to use. A list of local services will appear. Select the services and then click OK.

NOTE: The screen will only list the local services that require authentication. The local services
that do not require authentication can be accessed freely. The Authorization button is enabled
only when the Security Level is set to Medium.

4.3.4 Local Services Security
To access the local services security configuration screen, click My Bluetooth | Security and click
on the Services tab. You can only configure security for local services when the Security Level is
set to Medium. (set the Security Level in the General Security screen.)

Local Services
Authentication: if checked, a passkey is required whenever a remote device attempts to connect
with this service.
