Bluetooth Serial Port

The Bluetooth Serial Port service allows two Bluetooth devices to establish a wireless connection through a virtual communications port and then use that connection as if it were a hardwired serial cable between those devices.

Connection is initiated from the client. To establish a Bluetooth serial port connection:

1.On the Client, open My Bluetooth Places by double-clicking the icon on your desktop.

2.Select Entire Bluetooth Neighborhood.

3.Right-click anywhere except on a device name and select Refresh from the pop-up menu. This updates your current list of available devices.

4.Right-click the server (the receiver of your request) with which you want to establish a connection. Select Discover Available Services from the pop-up menu to display an updated list of available services.

5.Double-click Bluetooth Serial Port. A dialog box appears, containing the communications port number assigned to this connection by the client. The application that will use this connection must be configured to send data to this port.

To determine the communications port that the service will use:

1. On the Server, open My Bluetooth Places by double-clicking the icon on your desktop.
