Make Serial Port Profile Data (SPP) Connection
When pairing is complete, two virtual COM ports are created by the BT stack on the computer. The BT stack
also assigns the COM port numbers so the numbers vary depending on the computer.
To make the SPP connection from PC to module, open the outgoing COM port (COM 40) with a terminal
program. MpBTHost opens a new dialog box which enables data to be sent back and forth in a terminal
emulation window fashion (
Figure 36
).
