Trust

In the Remote Device Properties – Trust dialog box, you can make settings for the individual remote device concerning:

  • Trust relationship, i.e. the way your local device will react if the remote device attempts to establish a link to it.
  • Bonding expiration, i.e. if your local device and the remote one bond, how long should the bonding last? (cf. “Bonding”).

You can make similar settings in the dialog boxes Bluetooth Neighborhood Properties – Trust (cf. “Trust”) and Bluetooth Neighborhood Properties – Bonding (cf. “Bonding”). However, while the settings made in those dialog boxes concern all remote devices discovered, the settings in the Remote Device Properties – Trust dialog box concern a particular remote device.

To open this dialog box:

  1. Right-click the remote device in question.
  2. Click Properties.
  3. In the General dialog box, click the tab Trust.

  • Trust Relationship allows you to define the trust relationship to be applied when the remote device wants to establish a link to your device:

    –Reject link establishment, or

    –Prompt before accepting link establishment, or

    –Automatically accept link establishment. (This is the default setting).

If you like, you can apply the selected trust relationship to all remote devices (as in the Bluetooth Neighborhood Properties –Trust and Bonding dialog boxes). To do so, click Apply to all devices.

  • Device Bonding Expiration allows you to make settings concerning the duration of bonding between your device and the remote one. You can set the bonding to expire when the link is disconnected, after a specified period of time, or never. (The default settings is: Never).

    For more information on bonding, see “Bonding”.
