Bluetooth is a wireless technology that eliminates the need for wires and cables when establishing serial connections. Bluetooth also provides other services such as simple file transfer. Each time a Bluetooth device is connected to a computer, a virtual serial port must be created. The virtual serial port can be configured manually in a few steps.
