Hello Jackin,

Apology for the delayed response.

You would be able to use Bluetooth without RFCOMM Protocol TDI, as Bluetooth device is enabled on your system.

The Bluetooth Device (RFCOMM Protocol TDI) component provides a TDI transport driver for RFCOMM (Serial Cable Emulation Protocol). This component implements the Bluetooth RFCOMM protocol layer.

This component is associated with the   Standard Modem over Bluetooth link component. This component is also used in conjunction with the Primitive: Afd component. The Primitive: Afd component provides the "ancillary function driver," and with the Transport Driver Interface component, provides a socket interface for user-mode applications. These include higher Bluetooth layers such as the Open Exchange (OBEX ) protocol. OBEX is used in file transfer operations.

The RFCOMM protocol supports up to 60 simultaneous connections between two Bluetooth devices. The number of connections that can be used simultaneously in a Bluetooth device is implementation-specific.

For the purposes of RFCOMM, a complete communication path involves two applications running on different devices (the communication endpoints) with a communication segment between them.

RFCOMM is intended to cover applications that make use of the serial ports of the devices in which they reside.

Hope the information helps. Let us know if you need further assistance with Windows, we’ll be glad to assist you.
