a) Local file
Please specify a local file you want to sync with.
+ Note: If you are syncing a file, which is used by KA/Pi, please check the
+ "Addressbook file (*.vcf) is used by KA/Pi".
+ If you are syncing with a file from KAddressbook or another program,
+ please uncheck "Addressbook file (*.vcf) is used by KA/Pi".
+ To set this properly is important! KA/Pi uses a "last modified" property,
+ which is not supported by KAddressbook.
b) Pi-Sync (direct Kx/Pi to Kx/Pi sync)
We mention here only KO/Pi, but the same is valid for KA/Pi.
If you want to sync with a device, where KO/Pi is
installed, you can easily get the remote file via network
with the build in file transfer feature "Pi-Sync":
You have first to enable file transfer on the remote device:
- Start KO/Pi on the remote device.
- Choose Menu Synchronize-Enable Pi-Sync.
- Choose a port number, where KO/Pi should listen for
file sending requests. Valid port numbers are numbers
between 1 and 65565. Do not specify port numbers, that are

Now you can syncronize your local device easily with your
remote device. This works well for all platforms KO/Pi is
running on, e.g. syncing a KO/Pi on Zaurus with KO/Pi on Windows
is now very easy.

Syncing with the profile kind "Remote file" is performed in three steps:
i) download the remote file to your local machine to a temp file
ii) sync with this temp file
iii) upload the synced file to the remote device
The down-/uploading if i) and iii) is done via a command line command.
Please specify the download/upload command ( like scp, ftp, ...) and the
file name of the temp file in the corresponding fields.
d) Mobile device (cell phone)
Note: On the Zaurus you have to install the phoneaccess_xxx_arm.ipk package
to be able to access mobile phones.
