From the Settings > Devices > Bluetooth location on your computer, find
and select the More Bluetooth Options. This will open a Bluetooth
Settings dialog with three tabs: Options, COM Ports, and Hardware.
Switch to the COM Ports tab, and you should find a list of eight COM
ports: four incoming and four outgoing. Make a note of the outgoing
COM ports as you will need to specify one of them during the initial
braille display setup in JAWS.
Instructions for setting up VarioUltra as a Bluetooth braille display with
JAWS follow immediately below.

2.5.4 VarioUltra with JAWS (Bluetooth).

You should first download and install the JAWS VarioUltra driver, which
is available on the BAUM (USA) web site:
http://www.baumusa.com/support/jaws-drivers/. If you don't install the
driver, you will not find VarioUltra listed among supported braille
displays, and it will not work with JAWS.
To use VarioUltra with JAWS using a Bluetooth connection:
1) Install the VarioUltra driver for JAWS on your computer, and restart
JAWS.
2) Open the JAWS menu and go to menu Options > Braille. A dialog
window appears labeled Braille Basic Settings.
3) Enter ALT+B to select Add Braille Display. You can also tab through
the buttons to find and select it.
4) A new Select Components dialog window appears. Scroll down the
long list of supported braille displays to find VarioUltra 20 or
VarioUltra 40. Press space to check the box at whichever display
option you choose, and then press enter to move to the next window.
5) Remember the steps covered in the previous section 2.3.2 to confirm
outgoing COM port numbers? This is where you need to remember
which ports are outgoing, and select any one of them from the list
displayed in JAWS. Press enter to confirm your choice.
6) Next, select your primary device. For our example, we will pick
VarioUltra 40. Then select the Finish button.
7) Restart JAWS if prompted to do so. VarioUltra should start working
immediately when you restart JAWS.
From our experience, we find that setting Braille Mode to Structured, and
checking the box to Auto Detect Braille Display Using Bluetooth are
