Bluetooth Neighborhood properties
General
The Bluetooth Software Suite provides information
on the properties of the Bluetooth Neighborhood.
This information is accessed from the Bluetooth
Neighborhood Properties dialog box. To open this:
On the Bluetooth menu, click Bluetooth
Neighborhood Properties.
The Bluetooth Neighborhood Properties General
dialog box opens:
At the top of the dialox box you can see the name
of your local device, in this case “John’s desktop”.
(For information on how to name your local
device, see “Naming your local device”.)
Furthermore, the dialog box contains the items
General Information and Connections:
General Information shows the identity
information that, in addition to the name of
your device, will be sent to remote devices
carrying out device or service discovery on
your device. The device address and service
class are determined by the Bluetooth
hardware, the device class you can set
yourself (see “Settings”).
Connections shows which remote devices
your device is currently connected to, if any.
Also, you can see which role your local
device plays in the piconet: master or slave.
As appears, from this dialog box you can access a
number of other dialog boxes: Settings, Device
Discovery, Trust, Security, and Bonding. We will
deal with each of these in the following.
