32 .Nd Bluetooth device configuration file
34 Bluetooth device configuration framework provides ability to adjust certain
35 Bluetooth device parameters on per-device basis.
37 Bluetooth device configuration files are plain text files that should conform
41 Even though Bluetooth device are not exactly shell scripts,
42 they are parsed and passed through shell
45 This makes it possible to use various shell tricks in the Bluetooth device
49 .Pa /etc/rc.d/bluetooth
50 script is used to start and stop Bluetooth devices.
51 This script is not executed by default when system boots.
54 in response to Bluetooth device arrival and departure events.
55 It is possible to execute this script by hand if required.
56 The script accepts Bluetooth device driver name as an extra parameter.
58 The system wide Bluetooth device configuration file is called
59 .Pa /etc/defaults/\:bluetooth.device.conf .
60 Configuration parameters set in the system wide Bluetooth device configuration
61 file apply to every Bluetooth device connected to the system.
63 Configuration parameters overrides for the specific Bluetooth device
64 should be placed in the
65 .Pa /etc/bluetooth/ Ns Ar DEVICE_DRIVER_NAME Ns Pa .conf
68 .Ar DEVICE_DRIVER_NAME
69 is the device driver name of the Bluetooth device.
71 The following list provides a name and short description for each
72 variable that can be set in a Bluetooth device configuration file.
73 .Bl -tag -width indent-two
74 .It Va authentication_enable
77 .Va authentication_enable
78 parameter controls if the device requires to authenticate the remote device
82 the device will try to authenticate the other device at connection setup.
83 Bluetooth authentication requests are handled by
90 parameter is used to indicate the capabilities of the device to
93 .Dq Assigned Numbers - Bluetooth Baseband
99 parameter controls whether or not the device should periodically scan for
100 page attempts from other devices.
103 the device will periodically scan for page attempts from other devices.
108 parameter controls whether or not the device should periodically scan for
109 inquiry requests from other devices.
112 the device will periodically scan for inquiry requests from other devices.
113 .It Va encryption_mode
117 parameter controls if the device requires encryption to the remote device
119 At connection setup, only the devices with the
120 .Va authentication_enable
121 parameter enabled and
123 parameter enabled will try to encrypt the connection to the other device.
128 encryption for only point-to-point packets,
131 encryption for both point-to-point and broadcast packets.
132 .It Va hci_debug_level
134 HCI node debug level.
135 Higher values mean more verbose output.
136 .It Va l2cap_debug_level
138 L2CAP node debug level.
139 Higher values mean more verbose output.
144 parameter provides the ability to modify the user friendly name for the device.
149 parameter controls whether the local device should perform role switch.
150 By default, if role switch is supported, the local device will try to perform
151 role switch and become Master on incoming connection.
152 Some devices do not support role switch and thus incoming connections from
153 such devices will fail.
156 is disabled then accepting device will remain Slave.
