5. Security
5.1 AUTHENTICATION
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.
5.2 AUTHORIZATION
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).
NOTE: If “Report only selected Bluetooth devices” is not selected the Delete button will
not be available.
NOTE: When all devices are deleted an error message will appear if “Report all Bluetooth
devices” is not selected.
