Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security allows managing access to Bluetooth devices. Bluetooth devices include wireless keyboards, mice, headsets, printers, etc. You can also uses Bluetooth for communication e.g. with a mobile device.
When Bluetooth devices are connected or disconnected, the application may create multiple events about the device. The reason is that the operating system may detect a Bluetooth device as multiple devices of different types. Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security also manages the Bluetooth adapter through which the device is connected as a separate device. That is why the application creates an event for each of the detected devices.
You can select one of the following modes of access to Bluetooth devices:
Allow and do not log. Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security allows connecting any Bluetooth devices and does not save information about the connection in the event log. You can connect Bluetooth input devices (keyboards, mice, etc), send data over Bluetooth, manage other Bluetooth devices (headset, headphones, etc).
Allow. Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security allows connecting any Bluetooth devices. You can connect Bluetooth input devices (keyboards, mice, etc), send data over Bluetooth, manage other Bluetooth devices (headset, headphones, etc).
Block. Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security restricts access to Bluetooth devices. You can allow connecting only Bluetooth input devices (the Human Interface Devices class). These devices include keyboards, mice, joysticks, etc.
It is not possible to create a list of trusted Bluetooth devices. If you have restricted access to Bluetooth devices, you can only connection of Bluetooth input devices.
You can allow connecting input devices only in the Application Console or in Kaspersky Security Center Web Console. You cannot allow connecting input devices in the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console.
