RS-232 serial ports have nine circuits, which can be used for transferring data and signalling. RFCOMM can emulate the serial cable line settings and status of an RS-232 serial port. RFCOMM provides multiple concurrent connections by relying on L2CAP to handle multiplexing over single connections, and to provide connections to multiple devices.
