Overview of Bluetooth virtual COM ports
Some programs can connect only though 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.
