The Bluetooth Serial Port service allows two Bluetooth devices to establish a wireless connection
through virtual communications ports and then use that connection as if it were a hardwired serial
cable between the devices.

From the Windows system tray icon, right-click Services from the pop-up menu and then choose
Bluetooth Serial Port. The Business Card Exchange dialog box will open.

To establish a Bluetooth serial port connection, initiate a connection from the client:

1. On the client, in the Folders pane of My Bluetooth Places, select Entire

Bluetooth Neighborhood.

2. In the right pane of Entire Bluetooth Neighborhood, right-click anywhere

except on a device name and select Refresh from the pop-up menu.

3. In the Folders pane of My Bluetooth Places, right-click the server you want to

establish a connection with and select Discover Available Services from
the pop-up menu to update the available services list. The available services
will be displayed in the right pane of My Bluetooth Places.

4. In the right pane of My Bluetooth Places, double-click Bluetooth Serial Port.

A dialog box appears that contains the communications port number
assigned to this connection by the client. The application that will use this
connection must be configured to send data to this port.


Depending on the security configuration, the dialog box that provides communications port
information may not appear until after authentication and authorization have been accomplished. The
application on the server must be configured to use the correct communications port.

To determine the communications port being used by the service:
On the server, in the Folders pane of My Bluetooth Places, right-click My Device and select
Properties from the pop-up menu.
In the Bluetooth Configuration Panel, select the Local Services tab.
Double-click the Bluetooth Serial Port service to display its Service Properties dialog box. This
dialog box shows the communications port the connection is using.
