I've recently obtained a Siemens Notephone. It works well and I would like
to transfer the Names database from my MP2100 to the Siemens NOS 1.11 device
(basically an OMP, I guess).
Beaming works if I beam one name at a time. If I try to beam batches of more
than one at a time, it *always* stalls on the second one. When this happens,
I sometimes get corrupted name entries on the Siemens device. Whilst OK to
get the most important names across to the phone, beaming is clearly not
going to be suitable for keeping the names on the two devices synchronized.
I then tried using NCU to export a delimited text file to my Mac. Then I
created an NCK template to import the file. This basically works except that
the values of all of the fields are surrounded by "s. In addition, I
couldn't find a way to import the phone type keys (e.g. work, home, mobile).
NCU exports phone numbers with a type prefix (e.g. <home> 123232) whereas
NCK wants a separate type field. Clearly, with judicious use of sed, perl
etc, I could correct these problems but I was wondering if anyone already
has a solution.
Thanks in advance,
Simon
