Chapter 3:
Microsoft ActiveSync
Using ActiveSync, you can synchronize information between your Pocket
PC and your PC or server. Synchronization compares the data on your
Pocket PC with the data residing on your PC and updates both with the most
recent information. For example:
•
Keep Pocket Outlook data up-to-date by synchronizing your Pocket PC
with Microsoft Outlook data on your PC.
•
Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your
Pocket PC and your PC.
Your files are automatically converted to the correct format.
ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types of
information. Use ActiveSync options to turn
synchronization on and off for specific information types.
With ActiveSync, you can also:
•
Change synchronization settings and synchronization schedule.
•
Copy files between your Pocket PC and PC.
•
Back up and restore your Pocket PC information.
•
Add and remove programs on your Pocket PC.
Before synchronizing, confirm that ActiveSync version 3.7.1 or later is
installed on your PC. You can install ActiveSync 3.7.1 from the Pocket PC
Companion CD.
After the installation is complete, the ActiveSync Setup Wizard helps you
connect and synchronize information between your Pocket PC and your PC,
and customize your synchronization settings. Your first synchronization
process begins when you finish using the wizard.
After your first synchronization, take a look at Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks
on your Pocket PC. The information you stored in Microsoft Outlook on your
PC has been copied to your Pocket PC, and you did not have to type a word.
Disconnect your Pocket PC from your PC and you are ready to go!
