The pin dialog has to know if the user have to reply a pin from an incoming 
pairing request from another device (only provide a plain input field). Or if 
the pin dialog can suggest a randomly generated pin which have to be replied 
by the other device.

Example:

Outgoing Connection
The user on the computer triggers a pairing request (outgoing connection). The 
pin get randomly generated and displayed in the pairing dialog and have to 
replied by the cellphone.

Incoming Connection
The user triggers a pairing from the cellphone with the computer (incoming 
connection). A pin dialog appears on the computer with an input filed to 
reply the same pin.
