3.12 Serial Port
The Bluetooth Serial Port Profile (SPP) provides PCs, laptops, PDAs, GPS
receivers, cordless serial adapters, and other Bluetooth enabled devices with
a virtual serial port, enabling them to connect with each other wirelessly via
Bluetooth instead of with a serial cable.
BlueSoleil supports four Bluetooth Serial Ports for outgoing connections and
two Bluetooth Serial Ports for incoming connections.
Typical Usage
•
Connect to other Bluetooth enabled devices via the Serial Port
Connect to a PDA
Step 1:
Step 2:
Note:
•
Serial Port Auto-Connection function
Once a target device is assigned to a specific serial port, (e.g., COM5),
whenever an application opens that serial port number, BlueSoleil will
automatically connect to the target device. Similarly, whenever an
application closes the Bluetooth serial port, BlueSoleil will stop the
connection. To check which devices are assigned to which COM ports,
click Tools | Configurations | Connect With.
•
Some applications only allow you to use a limited range of COM port
numbers. If the application does not allow you to use a COM port
number assigned by BlueSoleil, you will not be able to use BlueSoleil
with your application.
3.13 Bluetooth Synchronization
The Bluetooth Synchronization (SYNC) Profile enables users to synchronize
PIM objects on their computer with that of other Bluetooth enabled computers
as well as Bluetooth enabled mobile phones, PDAs, and other devices.
Four kinds of objects are supported:
•
Contacts (*.vcf)
•
Calendars (*.vcs)
•
Notes (*.vnt)
Connect to the PDA's Serial Port service, following the
instructions in Chapter 2.
Use ActiveSync or any other application that uses a serial
connection.
