Setting up an outgoing Bluetooth
COM port
Some programs can only establish a connection
through a serial (COM) port, 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.
The New Outgoing Port menu command is
available only if one or more Bluetooth-connected
devices support serial (COM) connections.
1. Ensure that your Toshiba phone is currently
connected to the other device via Bluetooth.
2. From the

Today screen, tap Start > Settings

>

Connections tab > Bluetooth > COM

Ports tab > New Outgoing Port.
3. Tap the device you want to add, and tap

Next.

4. Tap a numbered COM port from the list.
5. To use this COM port to communicate only with
devices with which your Toshiba phone has a

Bluetooth partnership, check the

Secure

Connection box.
6. Tap

Finish.
