I am unable to connect my phone via bluetooth and am a complete beginner at this so know nothing. Any help on how to connect to activesync via bluetooth would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Using the bluetooth software, find out which COM Port the PC has assigned to the "serial Bluetooth Port" then set you active sync to allow communication between that port. Mine for example runs on port three... HTH

Guest markhertzberg Posted January 29, 2007 Report Posted January 29, 2007 Hi again. These are some screenshots from the bluetooth program. Now there are 2 ports in 2 different tabs and both run on different COMs. Any ideas? Thankshelp.bmp
Guest nevawlkalone Posted January 30, 2007 Report Posted January 30, 2007 Its 4.2 for a C600. At a guess and not being able to play around with the software me self id say COM 7. Purely because thats the prot that is going to service for other bluetooth devices. COM 6 provides services for your machine to access other devices. As for accessing the connection settings, try either file>conection settings or tools>options> connection settings. I never syncd my 550 or below over bluetooth so im not to sure where in AS the seting area is. Perhaps someonme could elaborate on this???? Cheers, M
Guest markhertzberg Posted January 30, 2007 Report Posted January 30, 2007 ok thanks. I did what you said but when i went on connection settings it said there was no COMM ports found and when i tryed to set 1 up it said there was no device attached although it was pluggein in the USB, was on and the bluetotth was on discoverable. Any ideas? Thanks

Guest jimbouk Posted January 30, 2007 Report Posted January 30, 2007 When you first pair the device with your pc, you need to assign BT com ports. You then use these for syncing. I would unpair the device from your pc and then follow the simple three point Activesync bluetooth help procedure in AS help.
Guest markhertzberg Posted January 30, 2007 Report Posted January 30, 2007 ok thanks. So you think i should uninstall it via device manager then connect it again and use AS help to find out how i should assign a com port? Cheers

Any ideas? Any help greatly appreciated Thanks Try re-establishing you AS partnership by delteing it from AS and then re-installing it via USB...it should, at the same time, look for other COM ports as well Other than that, Im stumped....when i did it with mine all the com ports that where required appeared. Id need to play around with it to get it right etc.... TRY THIS.... Sorry i cant be of any more help.
Guest jimbouk Posted January 31, 2007 Report Posted January 31, 2007 ok thanks. So you think i should uninstall it via device manager then connect it again and use AS help to find out how i should assign a com port? Cheers Just delete the existing partnership in AS, unpair the device, remove any existing BT com ports in your BT settings. Then follow the AS help topic.
