Bluetooth
Bluetooth is an open standard for high-performance technology and
allows wireless communication between PCs, PDAs, mobile tele-
phones, etc.
In contrast to infrared connections, Bluetooth does not require a visu-
al contact for communication purposes and can be used over dis-
tances of up to 10 meters.
To exchange data between Bluetooth-enabled devices, the devices
need to undergo a once-off discovery procedure.
Discoverability
When first enabling a connection to a Bluetooth device, this function
The Octophon F660/680 TDM is discoverable for other Bluetooth
devices by default.
To prevent unauthorized access, we recommend deactivating dis-
coverability once you have enabled the connection to a new Blue-
tooth device.
Linking
Linking is the process used by two Bluetooth-enabled devices to
"see" one another and to "recognize" that they can exchange data. It
is therefore used for checking the access authorization of a Bluetooth
device in a Bluetooth network. To do this, a 128 Bit linking key is cre-
ated for subsequent identification.
For information on how to configure Octophon F660/
680 TDM for connection to a Bluetooth device
A connection is established for devices that are already con-
nected even if the "Discoverable" function is deactivated.
Linking is only performed the first time contact is established
between a Bluetooth device and your Octophon F660/
680 TDM. If the Bluetooth device is successfully linked, no
further access authorization checks are necessary. Instead,
each subsequent check uses the previously created connec-
tion key.
