Local synchronization
Open standard
Synchronization is possible with almost any groupware
or office program, since the synchronization method
complies with the open standard IrMC 1.1, as specified
by the Infrared Data Association – reference http://
www.irda.org. IrMC 1.1 brings together the following
standards:
• vCard 2.1 for address book information
• vCalendar 1.0 for appointment and to-do
information
• ObEx (Object Exchange) for data exchange
Bluetooth wireless technology or infrared
The T610/612 synchronizes using the same protocol,
regardless of connection type. It connects via Bluetooth
wireless technology, infrared or cable. The cable is
connected either directly to the phone or to the desktop
charger.
Automatic synchronization
When infrared or Bluetooth wireless technology is
switched on in the phone, the synchronization process
starts automatically, as soon as the phone is within range
of a compatible port on a PC or handheld device (a
suitable synchronization program must be running on the
device).
Intelligent process
A synchronization engine performs the task of
synchronizing. For local synchronization, the
synchronization engine is an application that runs on the
desktop computer. The synchronization engine
compares, updates and resolves conflicts to ensure that
the information in the phone is the same as that in the
computer.
Local synchronization software and the
T610/612
PCs equipped with XTNDConnect PC For Ericsson will
perform synchronization with Microsoft Outlook. For
other groupware environments (Lotus Notes, etc.), the
full version of XTNDConnect PC is required. By using
Bluetooth wireless technology, infrared or the RS 232
Cable, you can easily perform a fast, local
synchronization.
Integration between XTNDConnect PC For Ericsson and
Microsoft Outlook provides an embedded menu for one-
key synchronization.
To enhance functionality and compatibility further, the
synchronization software can easily be upgraded.
The number of units that can talk to each other is
unlimited. One phone can be partner with several PCs.
This ensures that information from both the work PC and
the home PC can be synchronized with the phone. For
users that have both a desktop PC and a laptop (free
version XTNDConnect PC) or a PDA (free version
XTNDConnect PC), it is an efficient way to synchronize
data with the phone. This way, data can also be
transferred between PCs to keep them in sync.
If the synchronization software is upgraded to a full
version of XTNDConnect PC, one PC can be partnered
with several different phones. This is vital if, for
example, each member in a work group has his/her own
T610/612, and needs to synchronize with a PC. It makes
it easy, for example, to download a common company
phone directory to the phone book in each company
mobile phone. With the full version of the
synchronization software, other phone types and
handheld devices, such as PDAs and Windows CE
computers, can also be synchronized.
