Has anyone used BLED112 v bluetooth dongle? Exaplin its communication process with windows and ble devices

I want to know the way BLED112 smart bluetooth dongle makes communication between Windows, and BLE devices. I mean to say that I am aware it makes virtual COM ports. But the question is that it makes the COM port for each of the BLE devices connected with it. Or does it makes only one COM port.

Also, do i need to write some special code for bluetooth connection in Windows with this dongle. Or any arbitrary code will run with this dongle.

Thanks in advance.

The BLED112 is a USB Bluetooth LE dongle that contains a Bluetooth radio with its own Bluetooth stack and provides an interface to interact with the Bluetooth radio via the COM port.

With this concept, you can, for example, connect Bluetooth LE devices with Windows 7 and earlier versions. These Windows versions do not include a Bluetooth stack that supports Bluetooth LE.

Therefore the BLED112 has exactly one COM port for control and communication with the Bluetooth LE hardware on the dongle. With the right programming, it is able to connect to multiple Bluetooth LE devices at the same time.
