        If the DiscoverableTimeout is set to a non-zero

        Note that this property only affects incoming pairing
        requests.

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).
