• An outgoing COM port means that the Field PC initiates
communication with the other device. For example,
when you are using a Bluetooth GPS receiver, the Field
PC initiates the request for data; thus, the virtual COM
port connecting with the receiver would be an outgoing
COM port.
• An incoming COM port means that the other device
is initiating the communication with the Field PC. For
example, a desktop computer might initiate a Bluetooth
ActiveSync connection with the device via the virtual
COM port.
For more details about setting up outgoing and incoming
COM Ports, read the following sections.
Set up an outgoing
