Use this option if you want to assign the virtual COM port as
an Incoming COM port (i.e., you want another device to initiate
communications with the Field PC). If you are connected with
a Bluetooth device that supports serial communications, follow
these steps to set up the incoming Bluetooth COM port:
1. Press the COM Ports tab.
2. Tap on New Incoming Port.
3. Select a numbered COM port from the list.
Note: If the port cannot be created, it is in use. Select a dierent
numbered port.
4. Important: Deselect (clear) the Secure Connection checkbox.
Deselecting this option ensures that the device disconnects
its Bluetooth connection only when you tell it to, and
prevents the device setup from being deleted aer one
connection.
