3. From within a supported Personal Information Manager, select one or more items and then, from the PIM's File menu, select Send to Bluetooth. Whether sent items are accepted by the remote device is determined by how the remote device's PIM Item Transfer service is configured. Close a PIM Item Transfer Connection This application closes the open connection automatically when its task is complete. Configure PIM Item Transfer The Bluetooth Configuration Panel > Client Applications > PIM Item Transfer > General tab provides options to configure: • The application name¡Xto change it, highlight the existing name and enter the new name. • Enable or disable secure connection. To enable secure connection, place a checkmark in the box. • How your business card is handled when it is requested by a remote device. The Send My Business Card options are: Choose a business card as needed-each time a remote device requests your business card you must select a card from your PIM. If you ignore the request the remote device will receive a timeout notice. Always send the same business card-when this option is selected a dialog appears that allows you to set a default business card, which will be sent automatically when requests are received. Where to store received business cards. The Received Business Cards options are: Microsoft Outlook Outlook Express Lotus Notes NOTE: The selected Received Business Cards option does not influence the settings on other PIM-related property pages. For example, even if the PIM Item Transfer service business card option

on this computer is configured to "Do Not Accept", the PIM Item Transfer application will still accept business cards that the application has specifically requested via its "Receive" or "Exchange" functions. Email attachments. The only option is include or do not include attachments with email that is sent or received on this computer using this service. 7. PIM Synchronization setting 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 • Email (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 checkmark 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 Email (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, Notes 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.

Email attachments. The only option is include or do not include attachments with email that is sent or received on this computer using this service. 8. Serial port setting The Bluetooth Serial Port service allows two Bluetooth devices to establish a wireless connection through virtual communications ports and then use that connection as if it were a hardwired serial cable between the devices. To establish a Bluetooth serial port connection: Connections are initiated from the client: 1. On the client, in the Folders pane of "My Bluetooth Places", select "Entire Bluetooth Neighborhood". 2. In the right pane of "Entire Bluetooth Neighborhood", right-click anywhere except on a device name and select "Refresh" from the pop-up menu. 3. In the Folders pane of "My Bluetooth Places", right-click the server you want to establish a connection with and select "Discover Available Services" from the popup menu to update the available services list. The available services will be displayed in the right pane of "My Bluetooth Places". 4. In the right pane of "My Bluetooth Places", double-click "Bluetooth Serial Port". A dialog box appears that contains the communications port number assigned to this connection by the client. The application that will use this connection must be configured to send data to this port. Depending on the security configuration, the dialog box that provides communications port information may not appear until after Authentication and Authorization have been accomplished. The application on the server must be configured to use the correct communications port. To determine the communications port being used by the service: * On the server, in the Folders pane of "My Bluetooth Places", right-click "My Device" and select "Properties" from the pop-up menu * In the "Bluetooth Configuration Panel", select the "Local Services" tab. * Double-click the "Bluetooth Serial Port" service to display its "Service Properties" dialog box.
