- What is BeamWorks?
- ------------------
-
- BeamWorks is an infrared utility for your Palm that will allow you to NATIVELY
- send and receive contact data to/from a Windows CE device. BeamWorks will
- also allow you to send groups of contacts to a regular Palm without the
- need to send each one individually or send an entire category. Each contact
- may be selected independent of the category it belongs to and can all be sent
- at once. BeamWorks is compatible with the IR protocols of the built in
- applications of both Windows CE and Palm devices, and therefore has no
- requirement that it be installed on the remote device.
-
- Installing BeamWorks
- --------------------
-
- Install BeamWorks in the regular fashion using the Palm Install Tool. Once
- installed, you must have BeamWorks running on your Palm in order to
- send or receive contact data with a Windows CE device.
-
- Sending contact data
- --------------------
-
- To send contact information to a remote device, simply use the stylus to
- select the contact entry or entries you want to send. Dragging the stylus
- can be used to select a group of consecutive entries. Checking the
- "Sticky Select" checkbox will cause selected items to stay selected should
- you remove the stylus from the display and select another item. This
- allows you to select groups of items from different parts of the list without
- having to hit the Send button twice. Once you have selected all the contacts
- you would like to beam, simply hit the "Send" button. If you would like to
- beam the selected contact entries to a Palm device, select the "Beam to Palm"
- checkbox.
-
- Receiving contact data
- ----------------------
-
- Receiving contact data is just as simple. Just hit the "Receive" button and
- your Palm device will be capable of receiving contact data from Windows CE
- devices. Unfortunately it is not possible to automatically receive incoming
- contact data from Palm because of the way in which the Windows CE IR stack works.
-
- To receive contact information from a Palm device, you must exit BeamWorks
- because of IR port sharing issues between BeamWorks and Exchange Manager
- (the built in OBEX server for PalmOS). We are working towards a solution
- to this problem in a future release.
-
- Field mappings
- --------------
-
- BeamWorks will do it's best to map each field correctly to and from the
- Windows CE contact data. All Palm to Palm communication will exchange contact
- records completely intact. If you would like to customize the way in which
- BeamWorks maps incoming contact data, choose "Field Mappings" from the options
- menu.
-
- Beaming your business card
- --------------------------
-
- To quickly beam your business card, simply tap on the little icon that sits
- to the right of the "BeamWorks" program title. This will send your business
- card to a Windows CE or Palm device, depending on the state of the
- "Beam to Palm" checkbox.
