Bluetooth Virtual Serial Port
There are many Bluetooth wireless technology devices that
support the Bluetooth serial profile, such as GPS. You can use
your phone’s Bluetooth virtual serial port to make Bluetooth
serial connection with such devices.
Setting Up a Bluetooth Virtual Serial Port
To set up a Bluetooth virtual serial port:
1. Create a Bluetooth bond between your phone and the
device you want to use. For information on creating a
bond, see “Bluetooth Bonds” on page 145.
2. If the device supports the serial port profile, the
message, “(Device) support synchronizing using
Bluetooth. Would you like to designate it as an
ActiveSync partner?” is displayed.
3. Tap No if you don't want to make an ActiveSync
connection via the Bluetooth Virtual Serial Port.
4. After establishing a bond with the device, tap New
Outgoing Port on “COM Ports” tab under Bluetooth
settings.
5. Select the port, and then tap OK.
Connecting a Virtual Serial Port Device
The port you selected above can now be used in other
applications available on your phone. For example, you can
choose the port for communication when using a Bluetooth
GPS application.
