Local Device, Add A User Defined Bluetooth Serial Port
Most applications that use a serial connection can also use the wireless Bluetooth Serial
Port service to transfer data; the Bluetooth Serial Port is a replacement for the physical
cable and is transparent to the application.
Bluetooth for Windows has one pre-configured Bluetooth Serial Port, but additional
Bluetooth Serial Ports can be added when needed.
Add an additional Bluetooth Serial Port
From the Bluetooth Configuration Panel, Local Services tab, click the Add Serial
Service button.
In the Service Properties dialog box, modify the properties:
Enter a unique name (less than 99 alphanumeric characters).
Select the appropriate security settings.
If you want the service to start automatically when Bluetooth for Windows
initializes, select Startup.
From the COM Port drop-down menu select a communications port that is not
assigned to any other service.
Click OK.
Local Device, Remove A User Defined Bluetooth Serial Port
From the Bluetooth Configuration Panel, Local Services tab, select (highlight) the port to be
removed and then click the Delete button.
Note: The Delete button is only available when the Bluetooth Serial Port service or a
user-defined serial port service is selected.
