[Opensync-users] syncing a Nokia 9500

[Stefan A. <st...@ar...>]

Hi,

here's my (incomplete) test report of syncing a Nokia Communicator 9500 using 
opensync. I'm using the most recent SVN versions:
file-sync/: Revision: 904
libsyncml/: Revision: 115
opensync/: Revision: 904
multisync-0.90/: Revision: 153
syncml/: Revision: 904

The 9500 has (theoretically 4 ways to do the sync):
1) WLAN 
2) USB
3) IRDA (not yet tested)
4) Bluetooth (not yet tested)

1) When using the WLAN for syncing, it sends over some packets over the air 
and then stops. After a few minutes the WLAN connection is closed. 
Armin: I'll send you the traces in private email.

2) Detection of the existing interfaces shows this:
$ sudo syncml-obex-client -u
Found 4 USB OBEX interfaces
Interface 0:
        Manufacturer: Nokia
        Product: Nokia 9500
        Interface description: SYNCML-SYNC-CLIENT-INIT
Interface 1:
        Manufacturer: Nokia
        Product: Nokia 9500
        Interface description: SYNCML-SYNC
Interface 2:
        Manufacturer: Nokia
        Product: Nokia 9500
        Interface description: PC Suite Services
Interface 3:
        Manufacturer: Nokia
        Product: Nokia 9500
        Interface description: SYNCML-DM

syncml-obex-client.conf: 
<config><interface>1</interface><identifier>PC 
Suite</identifier><version>1</version><wbxml>1</wbxml><username></username><password></password><type>5</type><usestringtable>1</usestringtable><onlyreplace>0</onlyreplace><recvLimit>10000</recvLimit><contact_db>Contacts</contact_db><calendar_db>Calendar</calendar_db><note_db>Notes</note_db></config>

--> Important is interface #1.

Syncronisation fails if "msynctool --sync obex" is run as regular user, 
resulting in "Unable to connect to the interface". When running as root, it 
syncs fine against the file-sync plugin. 
Does anyone know which permission to change? I'm running Kubuntu 5.10 using 
udev. The regular user is member of the dialout group. Which device in /dev 
is used here? 
When plugging the USB cable, the system automatically loads kernel module 
cdc_acm.

My next test will be syncing against kdepim; currently I've used file-sync. 
I'll send a further report to the list when it's done.

What is the current status of using syncml over bluetooth?

Regards,
Stefan
