Link Key
A Link Key is a unique, internally
generated, access code. Link Keys are
generated automatically when devices are
Paired or when Authentication is
enabled.
Link Keys are created by combining
 The Passkey
 The Bluetooth Device Address
 An internally generated random
number
Pairing Devices
Pairing allows you to avoid entering
access information each time a connection
is attempted. Paired devices share a
unique Link Key, which they exchange
when connecting.
The mate of a pair will always appear in
My Bluetooth Places, even if the mate is
not turned on or is out of connection
range.
Paired devices remain paired even
when
 One of the devices is not powered up
 A service connection is interrupted or
the service stopped
 One or both devices are rebooted.
When Authentication is enabled devices
are paired the first time they attempt to
connect, after a successful passkey
exchange.
To pair devices before attempting a
connection
 In the Windows System Tray,
right-click the Bluetooth icon, then
Setup and select Security from the
fly-out menu.
 The Bluetooth Security dialog box
appears and Bluetooth for Windows
performs a device inquiry to update the
list of devices in the area. After the
inquiry is complete:
 In the Found Devices Pane of the
dialog box, click the name of the
device to be paired
 Click the Execute Pairing button.
 In the Bluetooth Passkey Request dialog
box, enter the Bluetooth Passkey
 Click the OK button.
The check box on the main screen, when
selected, permits all services to connect
without Authorization.
