Microsoft ActiveSync
Using ActiveSync, you can synchronize information between your device
and PC or server. Synchronization compares the data on your device with
your PC and updates both computers with the most recent information. For
example:
■ Keep Pocket Outlook data up-to-date by synchronizing your device with
Microsoft Outlook data on your PC.
■ Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your
device and desktop computer.
Your files are automatically converted to the correct format.
With ActiveSync, you can also:
■ Change synchronization settings and synchronization schedule.
■ Copy files between your device and PC.
■ Back up and restore device information.
■ Add and remove programs on your device.
Before you begin synchronization, install ActiveSync on your PC from the
Toshiba Pocket PC Companion CD. For more information on installing
ActiveSync, see your Quick Start card. ActiveSync is already installed on
your device.
After installation is complete, the ActiveSync Setup Wizard helps you
connect your Pocket PC to your PC, set up a partnership so you can
synchronize information between your device and your desktop computer,
and customize your synchronization settings. Your first synchronization
process will automatically begin when you finish using the wizard.
After your first synchronization, take a look at Calendar, Contacts, and
Tasks on your device. You’ll notice that information you’ve stored in
Microsoft Outlook on your PC has been copied to your device, and you
didn’t have to type a word. Disconnect your device from your PC and you’re
ready to go!
By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types of
information. Use ActiveSync options to turn synchronization on and off for
specific information types.
