(5) At this point, Bluetooth connection between the interface device and the PC has been established. The blue LED is steady. You will be told what COM number is in use. You can also check the serial COM port number from Client Applications tab in Bluetooth Configuration message box. This is what the OS has assigned a numbered COM port for a serial client. We are going to use it or one of them if there are multiples. If you dont see any, please see the relevant section above for adding one.
Note: if the blue LED still flashes, the connection is not established. You need to repeat the step by removing the pairing completely first, and then go back to sStep 3. (6) At this point, the step shown here is strongly recommended for new Bluetooth users although it is regarded as optional. This is to avoid running software lock-up issue due to discrepancy of COM ports in use. Before launching ScanTool.net, please go to the installed program folder of this software and look for file called scantool.cfg. This following screen shows the typical document path and files present in the said folder.

Pay attention to the line start with comport_number = under [comm] block. This number is for COM port # selected in this software which the communication is going to pass through. Note that comport_number increment from 0 up. comport_number = 0 is equal to COM1. Here in this example pictured, comport_number is 5, it means that COM6 is in use as registered in Option of the software. If the Bluetooth COM port as given by OS is COM6, this is already good, no discrepancy. Otherwise, you need to change this value for compoart_number to an appropriate one which is COM# (as given) minus 1. Save the file if any changes have been made. Close it all out. You are in good shape and ready to launch ScanTool.net. (7) With all the conditions as described in the previous steps, launch ScanTool.net. You will see these screens one by one as it progresses.
