Bluetooth Serial Port 

5.1

 

Introduction 

The Bluetooth Serial Port (SPP) provides a virtual serial port via Bluetooth as an 
alternative to a hardwired serial cable between a computer and device. Any program that 
uses a standard serial port can use the Bluetooth serial port without any change. 

The SPP profile can be used in the following scenarios: 

 

Connecting two computers through a Bluetooth serial port. 

 

Using SPP to print a document. 

 

Connecting a computer to any other device that supports SPP through a 
Bluetooth serial port.
