Adding a user-defined Bluetooth Serial Port
Most applications that use a serial connection may also use wireless Bluetooth Serial port service
to transfer data. The Bluetooth Serial Port replaces all physical cables, thus reducing clutter.
When using BTW, you will have one pre-configured Bluetooth Serial Port. However, you can
always add another when needed. Similarly, you may remove it any time.
To add a Bluetooth Serial Port:
1. Open the Bluetooth Configuration Panel by right-clicking the
Bluetooth Tray
icon on the Windows system tray. Select
Setup
and then select
Configuration
from the submenu. The
Bluetooth
Configuration Panel
is displayed.
2. Click
the
Local Services
tab.
3. Click
the
Add Serial Service
button.
4. In
the
Service Properties dialog box
that appears, modify these:
Enter a unique name (less than 99 alphanumeric characters).
Select the appropriate security settings.
Select
Startup
if you want the service to start automatically
when BTW initializes.
From the
COM Port
drop-down list, select a communications
port that is not assigned to any other service.
5. Click
OK
.
