Bluetooth Connection
Here are some examples of how to use incoming and outgoing virtual COM ports.
Outgoing COM port
You have a program on your HC700-G 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 7). The program can then send print data to COM 7, which
reaches the Bluetooth-enabled printer.
Incoming COM port
You have a Bluetooth-enabled GPS receiver, and your HC700-G 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 8). The
GPS program can then send data to COM 8, which reaches the GPS receiver.
Even if both your HC700-G 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 to use a Bluetooth connection to communicate.
