"Pairing" means that the two devices (S55 and computer) create a common encryption key. Using this key, both devices can ensure that they are talking to the other part (and no one else). Most devices allow only connects from paired devices. This is for security reasons, since otherwise anyone could read your phone calendar!
To pair your phone with your computer, edit (if necessary) /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf to "security auto" and enter a PIN number in /etc/bluetooth/pin. Then initiate pairing from the phone (in some menu) and enter the same pin when asked for it. /Bo On Thu, 2003-10-30 at 11:30, Dominik Blystak wrote: > Hi, > > im using multisync 0.80 with blueZ kernel 2.3 on debian os. multisync is not able to > connect to the s55 nor is it able to do a connection test. the device scan works and > multisync shows the proper channel 5. > (fyi l2ping and the hcitool connect works also) > somebody here was talking about "pairing" can anybody explain what exactly that > means? > > Petr "Fers" Ferschmann posted a few days ago that he got the s55 working with scmxx > over bluetooth, but there was no information available about bluetooth & scmxx at > the scmxx projekt page. unfortunally his email seems to be malformed and his website > does not permits any guests ;) > so Mr Ferschmann please post here what you had to do or please contact me by mail =) > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > with best regards > D.
