Introduction

The JavaScript classes, properties, and methods described in this document are used by iSync application and iSync Plug-in Maker developer tool to communicate with devices. iSync allows you to sync your devices with your data on the computer, and iSync Plug-in Maker allows you to build, test, and release iSync device plug-ins. When developing an iSync plug-in, you might need to write some device-specific JavaScript functions to open and close connections to your device. You use the JavaScript API described in this document to write these functions.

For example, below is a typical JavaScript function used by plug-ins to send custom AT commands to a device before iSync establishes the SyncML connection.

function prepareChannelForProtocol()

{

    channel.startAT();

    application.log("Sending AT+CPROT=0");

    // we need to send AT+CPROT=0 to the phone to activate SyncML

    channel.sendATCommand("AT+CPROT=0")

    channel.stopAT();

}

Read Editing Plug-ins in iSync Plug-in Maker User Guide to learn more about where JavaScript functions might be needed.

The iSync JavaScript API is available in iSync 2.3 and later.
