This setting does not exist in Link-OS, but you will need to turn it on if you want to enter a PIN in Zebra Setup Utilities. Access
Security Mode
on the Advanced Settings menu to enter this PIN.
The values set in the Authentication PIN field will vary depending on the Bluetooth (BT) version of the master device. If the master uses BT v2.0 or older, enter a numeric value in this field. You will be prompted to enter this same value on the master device to verify pairing. In Advanced Settings, select

If the master device uses BT v2.1 or newer, this setting has no effect. BT v2.1 and newer uses Secure Simple Paring (SSP) which does not require the use of a PIN.
