You should be able to do it like this. Find out your host's Bluetooth Device 
Address via the command "hciconfig hci0". Then go into the directory 
"/var/lib/bluetooth/<host-address>. In there (create if necessary) is the file 
"pincodes". This file contains one device per record. Each record has two 
fields separated by space. The first field is the device's Bluetooth Device 
Address and the second field is its PIN. So:

   cat /var/lib/bluetooth/01:23:45:67:89:AB/pincodes
   12:34:56:78:9A:BC 1234

For brltty, specify the device as "bluetooth:<device-address>", e.g.: 

   -d bluetooth:12:34:56:78:9A:BC
