When using PC Suite over Bluetooth it uses three com ports, one for incoming traffic and two for outgoing. Your Sitecom driver might not have allocated enough Com ports to support this, so let’s first make sure these Com ports have been allocated and are available for ActiveSync.
Open the Sitecom Advanced Configuration window (e.g. by right-clicking the Bluetooth icon in the task bar).
Click the Local services tab
Click Add Serial Service
If the Bluetooth Properties Window comes up right away, there were already Com ports allocated to Bluetooth that you can use. There might be more Com ports to choose from, select the one you prefer.
If at first other Windows pop-up (System Properties, etc.), a new virtual Com port is allocated to the BT driver. In this case there will be only one Com port to choose from.
In both cases, Mark Startup Automatically.
Remember both the Com port and the Service Name allocated to the new entry.
Click OK
Click the Client Applications tab
Click Add COM port
The same process takes place as with the Local services tab, click OK when finished (this time you don’t have to remember the Com port and service name allocated).
Click Add COM port again to add yet another Com port.
Click OK when finished adding the Com port.
Click OK to leave the Bluetooth Configuration Window
Make sure the Nokia phone is switched on and Bluetooth on the phone is turned on.
Open on the PC My Bluetooth Places
Click on Search for devices in range
The Nokia 6310i (or whatever phone you are using) icon should now appear
Right-click it and select Pair Device

A prompt appears on the PC telling you which serial port has been configured. Remember this port number.
