1User’s Guide1. INTRODUCTION1.1 Bluetooth TechnologyThe term “Bluetooth” refers to a worldwide standard for the wireless exchangeof data between two devices. In order to exchange data, two Bluetooth devices mustestablish a connection. Before a connection is established, one device must request aconnection with another. The second device accepts (or rejects) the connection.The originator of the request is known as the client. The device that accepts (orrejects) the request is known as the server. Many Bluetooth devices can act as bothclient and server.A client Bluetooth device runs a software program that requests a connection toanother device as part of its normal operation. For example, the program may requesta connection to a remote computer, a printer, or a modem. Becoming a Bluetooth clientnormally requires an action by the device operator, such as an attempt to browse aremote computer, print a file, or dial out on a modem.Every Bluetooth device that provides a service must be prepared to respond toa connection request. Bluetooth software is always running in the background on theserver, ready to respond to connection requests.1.2 MSI™ PC2PC BluetoothMSI™ PC2PC Bluetooth provides wireless technology that revolutionizes per-sonal connectivity. It is the solution for the seamless integration of Bluetooth technol-ogy into personal computers, enabling short-range wireless connections between desk-top/laptop computers, Bluetooth-enabled peripherals (printers, faxes,...), portablehandheld devices, and connectivity to the Internet.

The encryption key is based on the Authentication Link Key;Encryption requires that Authentication be enabled.The default security setting for Authorization, Authentication and Encryptionis disabled.Devices can also be paired, a process that eliminates the need to enter a PIN codeevery time access is attempted.

37User’s Guide3.5.2 AuthenticationAuthentication is used to verify identity; it requires a passkey or Link Key fromthe remote device. When a remotedevice attempts access, a visualand/or audio warning notifies thelocal operator.The local operator canopen a dialog box that provides:* The user-friendly nameof the device attempt-ing access* A place for the local op-erator to enter aBluetooth passkey.The operator of the remote system must enter the identical passkey or access isdenied.If the notification is ignored, access is denied after a preset timeout.When devices are “paired,” those devices automatically exchange a Link Key andAuthentication is carried out without operator intervention.3.5.3 AuthorizationAuthorization is yes-or-no security.A visual and/or audio warning alerts the server operator that a remote device isattempting to connect.The server operator responds by clicking the Bluetooth icon in the Windowssystem tray to open a dialog box that displays:* The user-friendly name of the device attempting to connect* The local service to which the remote device is attempting to connect.The server operator may grant or deny access to the service by clicking an on-

PC2PC Bluetooth38screen button.If the server operator ignores the Authorization notification access will be deniedafter a preset timeout.3.5.4 EncryptionEncrypting translates data into an unreadable format using a secret key orpassword. Decrypting the data requires the same key or password that was used toencrypt it.Encryption in the Bluetooth is based on the same passkey or Link Key that isused for Authentication. If Authentication is not enabled the key is not available andencryption will not take place.To use Encryption, Authentication must be enabled.To enable Encryption for a service:1. Right-click a service name and select Properties from the pop-up menu todisplay the Bluetooth Properties dialog box.2. Select the Encryption option.
