Detecting the type of your Bluetooth driver

To detect the type of your Bluetooth driver, plug the Bluetooth dongle in the
USB port of your computer. A Bluetooth icon must appear in a system tray.

Click the icon by right mouse button and look at the popup menu.
This is the popup menu of a generic Windows Bluetooth driver. The instructions
for the setup of a virtual serial port can be read here.

This is the popup menu of a WIDCOMM Bluetooth driver. The instructions
for the setup of a virtual serial port can be read here.

This is the popup menu of a BlueSoleil Bluetooth driver. The instructions
for the setup of a virtual serial port can be read here.

If you do not find anything like that, you have a Bluetooth driver developed by
some other manufacturer. For setting up a virtual serial port, see the user's manual.
Usually the setup consists of the following steps: discovering the Bluetooth devices and selecting
the device, typing a PIN-code and pairing the device, discovering the services and, finally,
connecting to the "virtual serial port" service.
