3-2.5.2 Add a User-defined Serial Service
Applications that use serial connections, for example, HyperTerminal, will use the
Bluetooth Serial Port service to transfer data as though a physical serial cable connects
your computer and the remote device.
In some instances, it may be advantageous to have more than one Bluetooth Serial Port,
for example:
x When more than one serial connection is up and running at the same time
(if Point-to-Multipoint connections are supported by your Bluetooth devices).
x In place of the BTW Bluetooth Serial Port service—the user-defined serial
service would be configured to specific settings that your computer should use
each time it makes a serial connection to a specific remote device. The name
could be set to clearly identify the connection, for example, Serial_PDA to
Laptop_COM8. This would identify a serial connection between two specific
Bluetooth devices using COM port 8.
To add a user-defined serial service:
1. Open the Configuration window. The General tab is displayed.
2. Click the Local Services tab.
3. Click the Local Services tab Add Serial Service button.
4. In the Service Properties dialog box, modify the properties:
a) In the Service Name field, select Bluetooth Serial Port to highlight it and key
a valid, user-defined serial service name between 1 to 99 characters, for
example, User-defined Serial Service.
NOTE: No two local services may have the same service
name. However, a local service name and client
application name can be the same.
