2. The Shark
2.1 How Does The Shark Emulate a Serial Cable?
Unlike other RS-232 Adapters with Bluetooth
®
wireless technology, The Shark is
designed to emulate the behavior of a serial port that has a serial cable connection. It
accomplishes this by triggering an active COM port at the other end of the wireless
connection at the moment a COM port connection is established. This is how a serial
cable would behave, and this is how The Shark’s serial cable emulation behaves.
