3.5.10 PIM Synchronization
Overview
The PIM Synchronization Application is used to synchronize the Personal Information Manager
(PIM) database of this computer with the PIM database of a remote Bluetooth device.
The supported PIMs are:
•
Microsoft Outlook
•
Microsoft Outlook Express
•
Lotus Notes
The supported data types are:
•
Business cards
•
Calendar items
•
E-mail (with or without attachments)
•
Notes
Configure PIM Synchronization
The Bluetooth Configuration Panel > Client Applications > PIM Synchronization > General tab
provides options to configure:
•
The application name—to change it, highlight the existing name and enter the new name.
•
Enable or disable secure connection. To enable secure connection, place a check mark in the
box.
•
The PIM items to be synchronized and the PIM on this computer with which those items
should be synced.
NOTE: If synchronization is enabled for a specific item type, but is not enabled for that item type
on the remote device, synchronization
WILL NOT
take place for that item.
•
The data item types which can be synchronized are:
•
Business cards
•
Calendar items
•
E-mail (with or without attachments, see below)
•
Notes
Possible synchronization options for each of these data item types include:
•
Do Not Synchronize
—this item type will not be synchronized
•
Synchronize Microsoft Outlook
—this item type will be synced with its matching entry in
Microsoft Outlook, regardless of the PIM that contains this entry on the remote device. If a
matching Outlook entry does not exist, it will be created.
•
Synchronize Outlook Express
—this item type will be synced with its matching entry in
Express, regardless of the PIM that contains this entry on the remote device. If a matching
Express entry does not exist, it will be created.
•
Synchronize Lotus Notes
—this item type will be synced with its matching entry in Lotus
Notes, regardless of the PIM that contains this entry on the remote device. If a matching Notes
entry does not exist, it will be created.
NOTE: All choices are not available for all items. For example, “Note” items can only be
synchronized in Microsoft Outlook, therefore, Lotus Notes and Outlook Express do not
appear as options in the “Notes” item shortcut menu.
Personal Information Managers that are not installed on this computer do not appear as
options in the shortcut menus.
