Product Reference Guide for Windows 10

Wireless
47
Recommendations are:
• Perform pairing in a secure environment
• Keep PIN codes private and do not store the PIN codes in the device
• Implement application-level security.
Bluetooth Profiles
The device supports the following Bluetooth services:
• Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) - Allows the device to stream stereo-quality audio to a
wireless headset or wireless stereo speakers.
• Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP) - Allows the device to control A/V equipment to which a
user has access. It may be used in concert with A2DP.
• Device ID Profile (DIP) - allows a device to be identified above and beyond the limitations of the Device
Class already available in Bluetooth. It enables identification of the manufacturer, product id, product
version, and the version of the Device ID specification being met.
• Generic Access Profile (GAP) - Allows the device to be visible to other Bluetooth devices and
determines their interaction.
• Generic Attribute Profile (GATT) - Provides profile discovery and description services for Bluetooth Low
Energy protocol.
• Hands Free Profile (HFP) - Allow car hands-free kits to communicate with the device and lets the
headset control the device.
• Hard Copy Cable Replacement Profile (HCRP) - Provides a simple wireless alternative to a cable
connection between a device and a printer.
• Headset Profile (HSP) - Provides a simple audio connection between the device and the headset.
• HID Over GATT Profile (HOGP) - Connects human interface devices such as keyboards and mice to a
host device.
• Human Interface Device Profile (HID) - Allows Bluetooth keyboards, pointing devices, gaming devices
and remote monitoring devices to connect to the device.
• Object Push Profile (OPP) - Allows the device to push and pull objects to and from a push server.
• Out of Band (OOB) and Near Field Communications (NFC) - Allows for pairing of a Bluetooth device
such as headsets and scanners by touching the devices together (NFC tap to pair).
• Personal Area Network User (PANU) - Allows the use of Bluetooth Network Encapsulation Protocol to
provide L3 networking capabilities over a Bluetooth link. Only PANU role is supported.
• Radio Frequency (RF) Kill - All RF activities are terminated and device goes into low power mode.
• Serial Port Profile (SPP) - Allows use of RFCOMM protocol to emulate serial cable connection between
two Bluetooth peer devices. For example, connecting the device to a printer.
• Service Discovery Profile (SDP) - Allows applications running on different Bluetooth-enabled devices to
discover each other's existence, and exchange information to determine their characteristics.
