4.1 Using ActiveSync
ActiveSync synchronizes information on your Sprint PCS Vision
Smart Device with information on your PC, such as Outlook content.
ActiveSync can also synchronize over a wireless or cellular network
with Microsoft Exchange Server, if your company or service provider is
running Microsoft Exchange Server with Exchange ActiveSync. When
you synchronize, ActiveSync compares the information on your PPC-
6700 with the information on your PC and/or Exchange Server and
updates all locations with the most recent information.
With ActiveSync, you can:
Synchronize data, such as Outlook E-mail, Contacts, Calendar,
or Tasks information on your PPC-6700 with your PC, as well as
pictures, video, and music.
Synchronize Outlook E-mail, Contacts, Calendar appointments,
and Tasks on your PPC-6700 directly with Exchange Server so
that you can stay up to date even when your PC is turned off.
Exchange files between your PPC-6700 and your PC
without synchronizing.
Select which types of information are synchronized and specify
how much information is synchronized. For example, you
can choose how many weeks of past Calendar appointments
to synchronize.
Before you can synchronize information with a PC, you must first
install ActiveSync on your PC and create a synchronization relationship
between your PPC-6700 and the PC. You can install ActiveSync from the
Getting Started disc that comes with your device. ActiveSync is already
installed on your PPC-6700.
Once you have installed ActiveSync and set up a synchronization
relationship, ActiveSync on the PC recognizes your device when you
connect it, and automatically transfers the synchronization settings
you specified on your PPC-6700.
You may be able to synchronize your device with Exchange Server
through your company or wireless service provider. If you plan to do so,
obtain the name of the Exchange Server, your user name, password,
and domain name from your administrator before starting the Sync
Setup Wizard.
