Antwort
With the PDA-Synchronization software by Tobit.Software you have the possibility to synchronize your archives from the David InfoCenter with your PDA. Thus all necessary information is available on the PDA at any time. With this interface you can synchronize your data with all current Palm-PDAs from version three, as well as with Windows CE devices from version two. The default settings are designed for the synchronization of your In Archive, the address book, the ToDo archive and the personal calendar, but you can always extend these settings e.g. by other archives. All data is synchronized via the serial interface and the docking station between the PDA and the Client.

As an interface for your PDA you will need the synchronization software, provided by the manufacturer. If you use a Palm, this would be the »Hotsync© Manager« program. With Windows CE devices you need the tool »Active Sync Manager«.

Currently, the following PDA operating systems are supported:

  • Palm OS from version 3.x to 4.x
  • Palm OS from version 5 to 5.2(restricted)
  • Windows CE from version 3.0
  • Pocket PC 2000 / 2002, Windows Mobile 2002/ 2003/ 2003 SE
  • BlackBerry OS
Not supported Handhelds:

  • T-Mobile SDA
  • MDA Pro / MDA Vario (Windows Mobile 2005)
  • XDA trion (Windows Mobile 5.0 AKU2 (MSFP))
  • Windows Smartphone 2002 / 2003
  • Nokia Communicator
  • Psion
  • Symbian
  • Apple iPhone
Note
For Pocket PCs with Windows Mobile 2003, Windows Mobile 5 and Windows Mobile 6 (Professional and Classic version) the InfoCenter Pocket Sync. is available. Requirements:
In order to use the advantages of the PDA-Synchronization with the David InfoCenter, it is necessary, that the following software is already installed:
  • David(R)zehn!, David V8/V8+, David Home, David SL, David XL or FaxWare
  • David.InfoCenter
Note For the Palm OS 5.2.x
PDAs, which use the PALM OS of version 5.2.x, can be used for data synchronization between the InfoCenter and the PDA. The synchronization of eMail is not possible, because you need to install an eMail program separately concerning Palm PDAs with OS 5.x.

Note for Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition
The data synchronization between the David InfoCenter and the PDA is also possible if »Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition« runs on the PDA.

Notes for the synchronization with a BlackBerry PDA
The data synchronization between a BlackBerry PDA and the InfoCenter can be executed with the David.InfoCenter PDA Synchronization. Therefore the BlackBerry Desktop Manager needs to be installed on the workstation where the synchronisztion should take place, besides the InfoCenter and the PDA synchronization software. During the installation of the David.InfoCenter PDA Synchronization you need to choose the option »PALM OS ab Version 3.x« for the setting »Select PDA Operating System«.
Note that the data synchronization between the David.InfoCenter and a BlackBerry is not possible if the BlackBerry Desktop is used in version 3.6SP3 or higher. The BlackBerry Desktop is supported without a Service Pack, with Service Pack 1 or with Service Pack 2.
