Bluetooth Virtual COM Ports Overview

Some programs can connect only through a serial (COM) port. This can be true even if the device itself
is Bluetooth-enabled. To make it possible for such programs to use a Bluetooth connection, you must set
up a virtual COM port. Once created, this virtual port can be used like any other COM port. You can use a
virtual COM port for programs that, for example, connect to a GPS receiver or to connect to a Bluetooth
enabled printer.

Here are some examples of how to use incoming and outgoing virtual COM ports:

Outgoing COM port: You have a program on your device that cannot use Bluetooth directly but can
print to a serial (COM) port. You can create a Bluetooth partnership with a Bluetooth-enabled printer and
then set up an outgoing COM port (for example, COM 1). The program can then send print data to COM
1, which reaches the Bluetooth-enabled printer.

Incoming COM port:

You have a Bluetooth-enabled GPS receiver and your device has a GPS tracking

program that expects to receive GPS data over a serial (COM) port. You can create a Bluetooth
partnership with the Bluetooth-enabled GPS receiver and then set up an incoming COM port (for
example, COM 2). The GPS program can then send data to COM 2, which reaches the GPS receiver.
Even if both your device and another Bluetooth-enabled device contain programs that need to use serial
ports to communicate, you can set up the appropriate virtual incoming and outgoing COM ports on each
device so that the programs can use a Bluetooth connection to communicate.
