White Paper W950
36 June 2006
Preliminary version - PA4
Local synchronization
W950 is supplied with PC software for local synchronization. It may be loaded from the CD-ROM.
Bluetooth™ wireless technology,
infrared or cable
W950 always synchronizes using SyncML,
regardless of connection type. It connects via
Bluetooth™ wireless technology, infrared or USB
cable. The cable is connected directly to the phone
or via the desktop charger connector.
Automatic synchronisation
Synchronisation can be configured to start
automatically, given that a suitable synchronisation
program must be running on the other device:
• When the USB cable is plugged in to W950.
• When Bluetooth is activated on both devices
and they come into operating range.
• When infrared is activated on both devices and
the infrared sensors are aligned.
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.
Compatibility
The PC software, supplied with the phone, enables
synchronization with the following applications:
•Microsoft™ Outlook™ Express 4.0, 5.x.
•Microsoft™ Exchange.
•Microsoft™ Outlook™ 2000, 2002, 2003.
•Microsoft™ Internet Explorer 5.0 and 6.0 (for
Bookmark synchronization).
• Lotus Notes
®
5.0, 6.0, 6.5.
The PC requirements are as follows:
• 120 MB free space on hard disk.
•Microsoft™ Windows™ 2000 (SP4) or XP Pro-
fessional or Home (SP2).
• Minimum recommended hardware configuration
for the version of Windows in use.
File transfer utility
A utility is provided which enables files to be
transferred to and from a W950 connected to a PC.
Typical uses for this include:
• Storing music files on W950.
• Moving images to W950 to use, for instance, in
personalization, MMS messages.
• Moving sound clips to/from W950 for personal-
ization.
Backup and restore
Backup is initiated from the connected PC. Note
that the USB cable must be used for backup.
Infrared or Bluetooth wireless technology cannot
be used for this purpose. Files in the user data area
(which includes loaded third party applications) are
backed up to PC storage.
The restore utility takes stored data from the PC
and places it back on to W950.
