3.12 Serial Port The Bluetooth Serial Port Profile (SPP) provides PCs, laptops, PDAs, GPS receivers, cordless serial adapters, and other Bluetooth enabled devices with a virtual serial port, enabling them to connect with each other wirelessly via Bluetooth instead of with a serial cable. BlueSoleil supports four Bluetooth Serial Ports for outgoing connections and two Bluetooth Serial Ports for incoming connections. Typical Usage • Connect to other Bluetooth enabled devices via the Serial Port Connect to a PDA Step 1: Connect to the PDA's Serial Port service, following the instructions in Chapter 2. Step 2: Use ActiveSync or any other application that uses a serial connection. Note: • Serial Port Auto-Connection function Once a target device is assigned to a specific serial port, (e.g., COM5), whenever an application opens that serial port number, BlueSoleil will automatically connect to the target device. Similarly, whenever an application closes the Bluetooth serial port, BlueSoleil will stop the connection. To check which devices are assigned to which COM ports, click Tools | Configurations | Connect With. • Some applications only allow you to use a limited range of COM port numbers. If the application does not allow you to use a COM port number assigned by BlueSoleil, you will not be able to use BlueSoleil with your application. 3.13 Bluetooth Synchronization The Bluetooth Synchronization (SYNC) Profile enables users to synchronize PIM objects on their computer with that of other Bluetooth enabled computers as well as Bluetooth enabled mobile phones, PDAs, and other devices. Four kinds of objects are supported: • Contacts (*.vcf) • Calendars (*.vcs) • Notes (*.vnt) 27
