Network Access - Creative Wireless Adapter CB3200 User Manual

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 CREATIVE
BLUETOOTH SOFTWARE 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
The Bluetooth server must be specifically configured to provide Network Access service.
However, after a Bluetooth device is configured as a Network Access server, it cannot act as
a Network Access client without being re-configured.
In the next sections to follow, we will discuss about how to set up Network Access in different
Windows platforms.
Windows 2000, Server-side Setup
1. From the Windows Control Panel, select Network and Dial-up Connections.
2. Right-click the Local Area Connection icon and select Properties. The Local
Area Connection Properties dialog box opens.
3. Click the Sharing tab. Select Enable Internet Connection Sharing.
4. Click OK.
5. Click Yes to enable Internet connection sharing.
