PIM Synchronization 

 
The PIM Synchronization service is used to match information between a Bluetooth client and a 
Bluetooth server. A perfect example would be a Personal Information Manager (PIM) database. 
 
CREATIVE BLUETOOTH SOFTWARE supports synchronization with devices that support IrMC 
v1.1 and exchange the v2.1 vCard format. 
 
If Information Synchronization is used for the first time with a new application, it may take a few 
minutes to synchronize the database. This is how it works – it merges data from both devices, 
deletes duplicate entries, and then copies the updated database to both devices. 
 
Following the first attempt, subsequent uses of Information Synchronization for the same 
application will be much faster – only the changes that have been made since the devices were 
last synchronized will be exchanged. 
 
Microsoft Outlook is the only Personal Information Manager that this release of CREATIVE 
BLUETOOTH SOFTWARE supports. Outlook permits duplicate entries, so all duplicates may not 
be exchanged in the synchronization process. The only thing synchronized would be Outlook’s 
default contacts folder. Items in the subfolders will not be synchronized. This means that if you 
have moved items from the default folder to a subfolder, they will seem to be deleted after the 
next synchronization. 
 
To apply PIM Synchronization: 
 

1. On 

the 

client, open My Bluetooth Places by double-clicking the icon on your 

computer. 

2. Select 

Entire Bluetooth Neighborhood. 

3.  Right-click anywhere except on a device name and then select Refresh from the 

pop-up menu to see an updated list. 

4.  Right-click the server that you want to synchronize with and then select Discover 

Available Services to display an updated list of available services.  

5. Double-click 

PIM Synchronization. A dialog box appears, displaying the 

synchronization progress. Once the process is complete, the connection 
automatically closes. 

 

Network Access  

 
The Network Access service allows a Bluetooth client to use a Local Area Network (LAN) 
connection that is physically attached to a Bluetooth server. 
 
Possible network access servers include: 
 

ƒ

 

Bluetooth-enabled computers that have a hardwired Ethernet connection 

ƒ

 

Stand-alone Bluetooth Network Access Points 

 
The Bluetooth server must be specifically configured to provide Network Access service. 
However, after a Bluetooth device is configured as a Network Access server, it cannot act as a 
Network Access client without being re-configured.
