The following sections describe how to configure and synchronize your Sony Ericsson P800 or P900 device. This section contains the following topics:
The Sony Ericsson P900 must have firmware R4A06 or later (for example, R4B03) installed to work with UMCal.
To check which firmware version you have:
Click Applications in the top right corner of the device screen.
On the P800, select View; on the P900, select Edit.
Select System Information.
Use the arrows to browse to Organiser and see the numbers below it. The firmware version is the second number; for example:
Organiser: CXC162021 R1AO5(R1A05 is the firmware version.)
If your firmware is not up to date, browse to the CDA version and write it down. You will need it when you upgrade your firmware, as described in the next procedure.
If the device does not have up-to-date firmware, you must upgrade it as follows:
Open a browser on your computer and go to:
http://www.sonyericsson.com/updateservice/P900/frameset.htmClick Get started now.
Select Manual verification mode (recommended) and click Next.
Enter your CDA version and click Next.
Click Next.
Check each requirements point and then click Next.
Click Yes on the "Backup or synchronize your device" page.
Select I want to make a backup.
| Note: If you do not perform a backup, you will lose any applications you have installed (such as the time zone patch) and all data (including GPRS and Sync Server settings). Even by performing a backup, you will still lose some information, such as voice commands. The Sony Ericsson Web page contains more information on what data will be lost. |
These devices require a patch to avoid time offset problems. Without this patch, event times may be incorrectly shifted whenever you synchronize. Installing this patch ensures that event times in your device match event times in your calendar. The "Sony Ericsson P800, P900, and P910 SyncML Client Patch" is available from http://otn.oracle.com on the Client Download page. Install it as you would other device software, using the Sony Ericsson CD that came with your device. For the P900, make sure you have the proper firmware version installed before installing this patch.

The following section describes the general settings used for setting up devices to use the Sync Server. The devices listed as supported are the devices that Oracle has certified as being supported on the Sync Server and supported by Oracle. If you have a device that is SyncML compliant, you may be able to use it with the Sync Server, but support may be limited. If your client does not support SSL, then it will not work with the Sync Server.
The Server URL for access to the UMCal Sync Server is:
https://umcal.umn.edu/ocst-bin/ocas.fcgi
Some devices do not allow you to seperately specify whether or not you want to synchronize events and tasks.
Devices that do not allow you to synchronize events and tasks separately only have one Calendar URI field, in which you simply enter:
./Calendar
Devices that allow you to synchronize events and tasks separately will have two URI fields, in which you simply enter:
./Calendar/Events in the Events URI and ./Calendar/Tasks in the Tasks URI
Devices that only allow you to synchronize events will have one Calendar URI field, in which you simply enter:
./Calendar/Events
Some devices will allow you to synchronize your UMCal address book. To synchronize your Address Book with your device, enter into the Contacts URI field:
./Contacts
