ADAPTER PROPERTIES

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

       string  Name [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.

       boolean Pairable [rw]
	       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).

       boolean Discovering [ro]
	       Indicates that a device discovery procedure is active.

       list    UUIDs [ro]
	       List of 128-bit UUIDs that represents the available local
	       services.
