Request Dialog
Security Request Dialog Box
A Bluetooth Authorization or Bluetooth Passkey Request dialog box may appear (depending
on security settings) when a connection is attempted if either Authorization or Authentication is
enabled. The method of notification depends on the version of Windows:
 Windows 2000, Windows ME and Windows XP - A bubble message is displayed
over the Bluetooth icon in the Windows System Tray
 Windows 98SE - The Bluetooth for Windows icon in the Windows System Tray
blinks.
Regardless of the version of Windows, click the Bluetooth icon in the Windows System Tray
and then follow the on-screen instructions. The instructions vary, depending on the security
configuration of the system.
If the security notification is ignored the connection request will fail after a preset timeout.
The dialog box provides
 Device Name: the user-friendly name of the device attempting to connect.
 Request to access: the service the remote device is attempting to access.
