EXP Computer Bluetooth: Serial Port Profile - Manual (Page 2)

8) Configure your Windows terminal emulator to use the VCOMM port that you
uncovered in step 7. Configure the terminal emulator to echo local input to the screen
(Local Echo ON).
9) Start the terminal emulator on the BTW system.
10) At this point you may chat freely back and forth.
11) When you are finished, terminate the applications (WidChat and your Windows
terminal emulator).
12) Terminate the SPP link by shutting down your BlueConnect card on the Visor.
3. The Differences between the Old and New WidChat
WidChat has changed somewhat between the BlueConnect 2.2G and 3.0 releases. Under 2.2G,
you would simply discover the SPP service on a remote server and run WidChat in order to
establish a connection. WidChat would automatically attempt to connect to the SPP service on
the remote device. It was limited to only using a service which advertised itself as a legacy
serial port profile. Since WidChat had no user options whatsoever, there was no possibility of
confusion. Since then, WidChat has been enhanced. The new WidChat will allow you to connect
to a custom RFCOMM service that was created specifically to support the WidChat application.
This allows WidChat to communicate with another WidChat that is running on a different
Visor. To support the new functionality, there are now various menu options on WidChat.
Some of these options can be confusing to people who are used to the old version of WidChat.
For best results, we recommend that you exactly follow the instructions outlined in this
document.
