6 Bluetooth Serial Port

6.1 Introduction

The Bluetooth Serial Port (SPP) provides a virtual serial port via Bluetooth as an

alternative to a hardwired serial cable between a computer and device. Any

program that uses a standard serial port can use the Bluetooth serial port without

any change.

IVT BlueSoleil™ provides three Serial Port services, you can connect with three

remote devices and be connected with three remote devices at the same time

through serial ports.

The SPP profile can be used in the following scenarios:

♦ Connecting two computers through a Bluetooth serial port.

♦ Using SPP to print a document.

♦ Using a cellphone to control a computer through a Bluetooth serial port.

♦ Connecting a computer to any other device that supports SPP through a

Bluetooth serial port.
