Skip pairing by using Link Key
Bluetooth encryption is a multi-staged process that provides devices with secure,
encrypted communications. The process begins with a device prompting the user
for a Personal identification Number (PIN). When the right PIN is entered, the DUT
begins an encryption setup dialogue with the TC-3000C. At the beginning of this
dialogue, the DUT and the TC-3000C agree on a Link Key. A Link Key is a 128-bit
value that the two devices use for authentication. When the DUT and TC-3000C
agree on a Link Key, the DUT then negotiates for the transfer of the Encryption Key
from the TC-3000C. The Encryption Key is used to encrypt and decrypt messages.
If you know the Link Key, you can skip the process with PIN code and reduce the
test time. To enter Lin key, press Menu Select “Configuration” from the pop-
up menu on the screen M1 (Tester) Press
F8 three times for “More 4/6” menu. Press F6 , to check Skip Paring menu
Press F7 and enter Link key.
Skip the inquiry procedure
The inquiry procedure enables a Bluetooth Device to discover which units are in
range, and what their device addresses and clocks are. It take 5 ~ 10 seconds to
complete. If you already know the BD address of DUT, you can skip the inquiry
procedure. To enter BD address, press Menu Select “Configuration” from the
pop-up menu on the screen M2 (DUT) Press F8 one times for “More
2/4” menu. Press F2 , to uncheck “Inq. Supported” menu Press F8 again
for “More3/4” menu Press F2 and enter the BD address.
