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.  

Authorization is Yes-or-No security that requires operator intervention to avoid having 
the connection time out and fail. 
Authorization is limited to: 

• 
• 

Yes—You may connect (click the balloon to proceed). 
No—You may not connect (ignore the balloon prompt and the connection  
will fail). 

Every Bluetooth device has a unique Bluetooth Device Address (BDA) assigned to it 
during the manufacturing process. This address cannot be changed by the end-user. 
A device’s BDA is usually displayed in hexadecimal format; 00:D0:B7:03:2E:9F is a 
valid BDA. 
Each Bluetooth device also has an operator-configurable, user-friendly name to help 
distinguish it from other devices. The user-friendly name may be up to 99 alphanumeric 
characters in length and may contain spaces. My Personal Computer is a valid user-
friendly name. 

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. 

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.
