Synchronization is a unique feature available in Ericsson R320s. When the phone is connected
with the PC, using infrared or cable connection, the Calendar and Phone book in the phone can
exchange items with the groupware or calendar program in the PC or handheld computer, like
the Ericsson MC218.
Open standard Communication with any groupware or ofÞce application is possible,
since the sync method complies to the open standard IrMC 1.1, as spe-
ciÞed by the Infrared Data Association, reference http://www.irda.org.
This supports device capabilities in order to ensure interoperability
between different devices.
Infrared and cable The Ericsson R320s can synchronise using the IrMC 1.1, also when
connecting via cable. This means that the synchronization process is
the same, regardless of connection type. However, if no infrared eye is
available, a cable connection is used. The cable is either connected to
the phone directly, or to the desktop charger. When the phone is placed
in the charger, the connection is established.
Automatic sync When infrared is switched on in the phone, the sync process will start
automatically, as soon as the phone is within infrared range of an active
infrared port on the PC (a suitable synchronization program must be
running on the PC).
Intelligent and fast The synchronization is very fast between the phone and a PC equipped
with any IrMC 1.1 compliant sync functionality, such as XTNDCon-
nect PC for Ericsson. It supports change logs so that only exchanges
items that have changed since the last sync. Only the differing data is
sent between the phone and the PC.
In everyday life, access to an updated Calendar and addresses of friends and business colleagues
is greatly appreciated. The Calendar of the Ericsson R320s has up to 100 entries that can be
synchronized with the Calendar/Agenda program on the user's PC. The Phone book can also be
synchronized. The growing use of groupware SW such as Microsoft Outlook and Lotus Notes
means that more and more meetings are booked electronically in daily business life. This encou-
rages users to have their calendar electronically stored on the server/PC or PDA and then to
update data to or from their phone. The Ericsson R320s supports vCard/vCalendar to exchange
business cards/calendar entries with compatible devices.
A very efÞcient enterprise solution is to use Ericsson R320s together with PCs equipped with
XTNDConnect PC for Ericsson. It provides a fast, ßexible and easy to use synchronization solu-
tion. The integration between XTNDConnect PC for Ericsson and Microsoft Outlook provides
an embedded menu for one-key synchronization.

¥ An ofÞce worker typically uses XTNDConnect PC for Ericsson and Phone Settings
To further enhance the functionality and compatibility, the synchronization software can easily
be upgraded.
The number of units that can talk to each other are unlimited. One phone can be partner with
several PCs. This ensures that information from both the work PC and the home PC can be
