Set up an Incoming Bluetooth COM Port
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 different
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 after one
connection.
Supported Bluetooth® Profiles
This section describes the
Bluetooth
®
profiles recognized by the
Microsoft drivers installed on your Field PC. Drivers determine
which devices your Field PC can communicate with.
Note: Bluetooth cards are not recognized by Field PCs with integrated
Bluetooth.
This section is organized by Bluetooth profile, each of which is
briefly described below. Instructions for using each profile to
create Bluetooth partnerships follow.
Serial Port Profile (SPP)
. Similar to a serial cable, this profile
acts as a liaison between two devices, such as the Field PC
and a GPS receiver, using virtual ports. (These ports are
described in the previous section.)
