You can receive update notifications by means of the Always-up-to-date
(AUTD) feature in Exchange Server 2003. Up-to-date notifications
generated by Exchange Server 2003 initiate Exchange ActiveSync
synchronization between your HP iPAQ and your Exchange mailbox.

corporate IT team for the name of the corporate server with Exchange
Server 2003 installed.

Using the Serial Infrared (IR) Connection
As an alternative to using the HP iPAQ Cradle or Exchange ActiveSync,
you can synchronize your HP iPAQ and your computer using an infrared
connection if you have an infrared port or an infrared USB adapter
installed on your computer. The infrared connection option works only on
computers that have Microsoft Windows 98SE, Me, 2000, or XP
operating systems installed.
To set up an infrared connection to a computer:
1.
Synchronize your HP iPAQ with your computer using the HP iPAQ
Cradle before the first time you establish an ActiveSync connection
via infrared.
2.
Follow your computer manufacturer’s instructions to install and set
up an infrared port.
3.
Remove the HP iPAQ from the cradle and line up the infrared port
with the computer infrared port so they are unobstructed and within
30.5 cm (12 inches) of each other.
4.
Initiate a connection by tapping Start > ActiveSync > Tools >
Connect via IR. Synchronization begins on your HP iPAQ.
5.
To disconnect, move the devices away from each other or tap X in
the upper right of the screen to turn off.
