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.

       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.
