Device discovery
In connection with device discovery, you can
make a number of settings in the Bluetooth
Neighborhood Properties Device Discovery
dialog box. To open this dialog box:
1. On the Bluetooth menu, click Bluetooth
Neighborhood Properties.
2. Click the tab Device Discovery.
The Bluetooth Neighborhood Properties Device
Discovery dialog box opens:
In Device Discovery you can choose for
device discovery to take place only when you
activate the function manually (which is the
default setting), or for device discovery to be
initiated automatically at certain intervals. If
you select the latter option so that device
discovery will take place automatically, you
can set the duration of the interval between
device discovery sessions in the item Device
Discovery Period.
In Device Discovery Length you can set the
number of seconds that you want device
discovery to last. The default settings is 10
seconds, which should be enough in most
cases. However, if for some reason it is
difficult for two devices to discover each other,
you can increase the duration.
In Device Discovery Period you can set the
number of minutes that you want the intervals
between automatic device discovery sessions
to last. This function is active when in the item
Device Discovery you have set automatic
device discovery to take place periodically.
In Previously Discovered Devices you can
have the Bluetooth Neighborhood list view
display remote devices discovered during
previous device discovery sessions. (This
item is selected by default). If this item is not
selected, the list view will only display the
remote devices discovered during the latest
session.
