Using a Serial Port Connection
The use of a Bluetooth wireless serial port connection is identical
to the use of a physical cable serial port connection between two
devices. As with a physical connection, the application that will use
the connection must be configured to use the correct serial port.
To determine the communications port assigned to the
Bluetooth serial port:
1.
Tap >
Bluetooth Settings
>
Services
tab.
2.
Select
Serial Port
from the Services area, then tap
Advanced
.
3.
The Outbound COM Port is the lower listing on the
screen. You must configure the application that will use the
Bluetooth Serial Port to send data to this port.
