Using Bluetooth
Require a Passkey or Bond to Access Services
To establish a connection, the other device must have a passkey or an established bond for added security. You can add data encryption to this type of security.
A passkey is a code you enter to authenticate connections requested by other devices. The passkey must be known and used by both parties or the connection will not be allowed.
If...Then...
Both devices successfully enter the known passkey
A bond is created between the devices.
You do not have to enter the passkey again to exchange information.
You want to require a passkey exchange each time you transmit information
You must remove the bond (“Unpair Devices”) prior to establishing the connection.

Information Exchange, Serial Port,
