5. Click the Authenticate button.
6. On the remote device, respond to the pairing request.
NOTE: If BTW is installed on the remote device, click the
BTTray icon when the security notification appears
(see Section 3.3.1, page 31). Enter the same passkey
entered on your computer (Step 4-a) and press the
Authenticate button.
The paired device will be displayed in the Paired Devices list (Figure 2, page 3) of the
Bluetooth Security window.
Figure 10 shows pairing with a device and authorizing it to use selected services on your
computer. In this example, the remote device, My Laptop, is authorized to use the three
selected services—Bluetooth Serial Port, Information Exchange, and Information
Synchronization. When My Laptop connects and uses an authorized service it will not be
required to enter a passkey or receive any additional authorization. However, if
My Laptop tries to connect to an unauthorized service, for example, Dial-Up Networking,
user intervention will be required to authorize the paired device to use the service.
See Section 3.3.2, beginning on page 32, for additional information.
3-3.2.2 Pairing Devices during First Connection
Devices may also be paired during the first actual Bluetooth wireless connection. To do
this simply wait until your computer attempts to connect to a remote device that requires
authentication or a remote device attempts to connect to a service on your computer that
requires authentication.
On your computer a security notification will be given (see also Section 3.3.1 on page
31), when that is responded to the Passkey Request dialog box described in Section 3.2.1
and shown in Figure 10, page 28, will be displayed. Set the Passkey Request dialog box
options as follows:
1. In the Bluetooth Passkey field, enter a valid passkey—a valid passkey is
1 to 16 characters, for example, 2468.
NOTE: A passkey is like a Personal Identification Number
(PIN). The same number must be entered as a
passkey on the remote device being paired. Just like
a PIN if you forget the passkey number, you will
have to break the paired relationship and start over.
2. If the remote device initiated the connection, your computer is the server and it
must authorize the remote device to use either all the local services on your
computer or selected local services. If your computer is the client, skip to step 3:
 To authorize use of all the local services, click the check box labeled Check
this box to ALWAYS allow this device to access ALL the services of
your computer. Press Advanced button to select trusted services.
OR
 To authorize the use of only selected local services, click the Advanced >>
button and select the services by clicking the check box next to each
service name.
3. Click the Authenticate button.
Once the passkey is entered, it is stored and the devices become paired. Security
notifications will only appear during future connections if either device attempts to use a
service on the other device for which authorization has not yet been given.
