# pairingName

The human-readable name of the physical device as a person sees it during initial pairing.

## Declaration

```swift
let pairingName: String
```

## Discussion

Discussion The system receives this data from the device within an DNS-SD TXT record. The value set in the pairingName property is the  value that follows the DNS-SD TXT record key: pairingName= The system interprets the value as an <= 63-byte UTF-8 string and may truncate it if it’s longer than 63 bytes. Refer to RFC 6763 for more information on the over-the-air encoding.
