PASSKEY

A Passkey is an alphanumeric string up to 16 characters in length. Passkeys are also called PIN codes (or Personal Identification Numbers). With Asanté Bluetooth, passkeys are used in the Authentication and Encryption process.

SECURITY REQUEST DIALOG BOX

A Bluetooth Authorization or Bluetooth Passkey Request dialog box may appear (depending on security settings) when a connection is attempted if either Authorization or Authentication is enabled. The method of notification depends on the version of Windows:

•Windows 2000, Windows Me, and Windows XP: a bubble message is displayed over the Bluetooth icon in the Windows system tray.

•Windows 98SE: the Bluetooth icon in the Windows system tray blinks.

To respond, click the Bluetooth icon in the Windows system tray, then follow the on-screen instructions. The instructions vary, depending on the security configuration of the system. If the security notification is ignored the connection request will fail after a preset timeout.

The dialog box asks:

•Device Name: user-friendly name of the device attempting to connect.

•Request to access: service the remote device is attempting to access.

To respond, click:

OK: allow the connection.

Cancel: deny the connection.

Advanced button: See below for details.

SECURITY REQUEST DIALOG BOX, ADVANCED BUTTON

The check box on the main page of the Bluetooth Authorization and Bluetooth Passkey Request dialog boxes ("Check this box to ALWAYS allow this device to access ALL the services of your computer"), when enabled, grants permission (authorizes) to the device attempting to connect to access all services on this computer when attempting to connect in the future.
