Trust
The Bluetooth Neighborhood Properties – Trust dialog box concerns the trust relationship you want your local device to apply to newly discovered remote devices: How do you want your local device to react if a newly discovered remote device tries to establish a link to it? To open this dialog box:
- On the Bluetooth menu, click Bluetooth Neighborhood Properties.
- Click the tab Trust.
You can decide whether your device should:
– Reject a link establishment attempt; or
–Prompt you before accepting link establishment; or
–Accept link establishment automatically. (This is the default setting).
To have the default trust relationship settings applied to all existing discovered devices as well as the newly discovered ones, click Apply to all devices.
Note: If you want to make trust relationship settings for a particular remote device – rather than for all remote devices – you can do so from the Remote Device Properties – Trust dialog box. For information on how to open this, see “Remote device properties” – “Trust”.
Advanced link policy
To view or change the trust relationship settings for one or more discovered remote devices, click Advanced Settings:
In this dialog box, each discovered remote device is located in one of three boxes: Reject link establishment attempt, Prompt before accepting link establishment, or Automatically accept link establishment. The location of each remote device (i.e. the box it is placed in) indicates which default trust relationship settings have been selected for it.
To change the trust relationship setting for a device in the Advanced Link Policy dialog box:
Drag the device from its present position into the box representing the trust relationship you want for the device. The new settings will now be applied to the remote device next time it attempts to connect to your local device.
