2-4.2 BLUETOOTH SERIAL PORT
The Bluetooth Serial Port service allows two Bluetooth devices to establish a
wireless connection through virtual communications ports and then use that
connection as if it were a hardwired serial cable between the devices.
To establish a Bluetooth Serial Port connection with another device, in Bluetooth
Neighborhood on the client:
1. Double-click Search for Devices.
2. Right-click the server you want to establish a connection with and select
Discover Available Services.
3. Double-click the Bluetooth Serial Port icon.
A dialog box appears that contains the communications port number assigned to this
connection by the client (your device). The application on the client must be configured
to send data to this port.
The application on the server also needs to be configured to use the correct
communications port. To determine the port number being used by the server:
1. Click Local Device
2. Right-click Bluetooth Serial Port and select Properties.
The Service Properties dialog box shows the communications port the connection
is using.
To close the Bluetooth Serial Port connection, in Bluetooth Neighborhood on the client:
1. Click the server that is providing the connection.
2. Double-click the Bluetooth Serial Port icon.
3. Click OK to close the connection.
