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.
BTW 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 BTW 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:
Bluetooth-enabled computers that have a hardwired Ethernet connection
Stand-alone Bluetooth Network Access Points
