Section 12
Bluetooth Bonds
A bond is a relationship that you create between your Pocket PC and another Bluetooth device to exchange information in a secure manner. Creating a bond involves entering the same PIN on the two devices sharing a bond. Once a bond is created between devices, the devices do not have to be discoverable to exchange information; however, each device must have its Bluetooth radio on.
Bonds are created only once between devices. Once a bond is created, devices can exchange information as soon the bond is recognized, eliminating the need to discover one another or to enter security features like a common PIN.
Beaming Using Bluetooth
It is possible to exchange information using Bluetooth instead of infrared beaming, eliminating the need for the devices sharing information to be within ʺline‐of‐siteʺ of each other.
