ADAPTER PROPERTIES

string Address [ro]
  The Bluetooth adapter address (MAC).

string Alias [rw]
  The Bluetooth adapter friendly name.

uint32 Class [ro]
  The Bluetooth class of device.

boolean Powered [rw]
  Switch an adapter on or off. This will also set the
  appropiate connectable state.

boolean Discoverable [rw]
  Switch an adapter to discoverable or non-discoverable
  to either make it visible or hide it.

        If the DiscoverableTimeout is set to a non-zero
        value then the system will set this value back to
        false after the timer expired.

        In case the adapter is switched off, setting this
        value will fail.

  Switch an adapter to pairable or non-pairable.

        Note that this property only affects incoming pairing
        requests.

uint32 PaireableTimeout [rw]
  The pairable timeout in seconds. A value of zero
  means that the timeout is disabled and it will stay in
  pareable mode forever.

uint32 DiscoverableTimeout [rw]
  The discoverable timeout in seconds. A value of zero
  means that the timeout is disabled and it will stay in
  discoverable/limited mode forever.

        The default value for the discoverable timeout should
        be 180 seconds (3 minutes).
