What does pairing mean here? Surely not Bluetooth? How'd that work? Or do you mean plugging in the USB connection and perhaps turning on USB debugging? I don't

Ah wait, probably there's a companion app on the phone side that uses root and one side listens for broadcasts on the network. Is that what you mean? That does sound simpler than setting up ssh indeed

Once they discover each other over network (or you add the ip address manually), click the pair button on one device and accept the pairing request on the other device. They exchange ssh keys etc.. so the connection will work automatically even when you switch networks the next time.
