Bluetooth Serial Port
The Bluetooth Serial Port service enables a remote Bluetooth device to establish a wireless serial connection
with this computer. The wireless serial connection may be used by applications as though a physical serial
cable connected the devices.
To establish a Bluetooth Serial Port connection:
•
The connection must be initiated from the remote device by the Bluetooth Serial Port application.
Determine the communications port being used by this computer for the Bluetooth Serial Port:
•
In the Notification area, at the far right of the taskbar, right-click the Bluetooth icon, select Advanced
Configuration, and then select the Local Services tab. The COM port assigned to this service is the last
item in the Bluetooth Serial Port service row. Configure the application on this computer that will use this
service to send its data to this COM.
Add or Delete a Bluetooth Serial Port
The Bluetooth Serial Port service has one pre-configured Bluetooth Serial Port, but additional Bluetooth Serial
Ports can be added as needed.
To add a port:
1. From the Bluetooth Configuration Panel, Local Services tab, click Add Serial Service.
2. In the properties dialog box, modify the properties.
•
Enter a unique name (fewer than 99 alphanumeric characters).
•
Select secure connection.
•
Select Startup Automatically.
•
From the COM Port shortcut menu select a communications port that is not assigned to any other
service.
3. Click OK.
To remove a Bluetooth Serial Port:
•
From the Bluetooth Configuration Panel, Local Services tab, select the port to be removed and then click
Delete.
Dial-up Networking Service
The Bluetooth Dial-up Networking service makes it possible for a remote Bluetooth device to use a modem
that is physically connected to this computer. The remote device can then access the Internet or log on to a
remote network.
Configure the Dial-up Networking Service
From the Notification area, at the far right of the taskbar, right-click the Bluetooth icon, select Advanced
Configuration > Local Services, and then double-click the Dial-up Networking service.
•
Select the physical modem to be used from the Modems - shortcut menu.
•
Set the common configuration properties of the service, and then click OK.
Note: The Delete button is only available when a Bluetooth Serial Port is selected.
