Two ways to connect with SPP

Now that you are paired with your host device, there are two ways to
establish an SPP Bluetooth connection with your host application:
• A host-initiated (Outgoing) SPP connection requires opening
the Outgoing virtual COM port from your host application
(EasySet or a terminal emulation program for example).
The advantage of this method is that no Bluetooth association bar
code is required. However, if the connection with the host
application is lost, you must reconnect using the present
connection procedure.
• A scanner-initiated (Incoming) SPP connection requires
reading a Bluetooth association bar code then opening the
Incoming port from the host application (a terminal emulation
program for example).
The advantage of this method is that the scanner automatically
tries to reconnect to the host application each time the connection
is lost. This method is recommended when you are collecting data
for a data management application.
