remote device the next time it attempts to connect to your local device.

The Security tab

In the Security tab, you can make a number of decisions concerning the security
of your local device.

Security Mode

Security Mode

can be set to either No Security or Link level security.

If a device has selected link level security, no remote device can connect to it with-
out bonding (see “The Bonding tab” on page 2-54). You can only use encryption
when you have selected link level security.

Encryption Mode

Encryption Mode

can be enabled or disabled. Based on the use of a link key, this

feature can only be enabled when link level security has been selected.

If encryption is enabled: When your device is communicating, only the linked
devices will be able to understand the data sent between them.

Connectibility Mode

Connectibility Mode

refers to whether remote devices, having discovered your

device, can establish a link to it. In other words, selecting non-connectable mode
is a way of ensuring that no remote device can connect to your device.
