A technique to simplify L2CAP channel creation/configuration for a node is presented. The method enables a node to determine how involved it is in the L2CAP channel connection creation and management process. There are three levels of participation that the node may specify. The three levels are no involvement at all, minimal involvement, and total involvement. In no involvement, the channel is dropped if a remote node does not accept all node specified parameters. In minimal involvement, the channel is dropped if a remote node does not accept all node specified parameters and the node is notified when the connection has been disconnected by a remote disconnect or HCI link loss. In the total involvement level, the node is fully involved in the channel creation/configuration. The node provides a function pointer that is called to confirm or reject parameters. If a parameter is unacceptable, the connection is disconnected.
