ikeGPS ike100 - Set up an Outgoing Bluetooth COM Port

www.ikegps.com/quickstart Page 122 www.ikegps.com/support
set up a virtual COM port on your ike. Once created, this virtual port can be used like any
other COM port. For example, you can use a virtual COM port for programs that connect
to a GPS receiver. You can also use it to connect to a printer that is enabled with
Bluetooth technology.
When setting up a virtual COM port, you must specify if the COM port is an outgoing COM
port or an incoming COM port.
 An outgoing COM port means that ike initiates communication with the other device.
For example, when you are using a Bluetooth GPS receiver, ike initiates the request for
data; thus, the virtual COM port connecting with the receiver would be an outgoing
COM port.
 An incoming COM port means that the other device is initiating the communication with
ike. For example, a desktop computer might initiate a Bluetooth ActiveSync connection
with the device via the virtual COM port.
For more details about setting up outgoing and incoming COM Ports, read the following
sections.
