Installing ActiveSync
A key component of your MobilePro is the Microsoft ActiveSync
program. With Microsoft ActiveSync, you can synchronize the
information on your computer with the information on your MobilePro
and update both with the most recent information.
For example:
Keep Microsoft Pocket Outlook
®
data up-to-date by synchronizing
your MobilePro with Microsoft Outlook data on your computer.
Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your
MobilePro and computer. Your files are automatically converted to
the correct format.
Note
By default, 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:
Back up and restore your MobilePro data.
Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your MobilePro and
computer.
Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization
mode. For example, you can synchronize continually while connected
to your computer or only when you choose the synchronize command.
Select which information types are synchronized and control how
much data is synchronized. For example, you can choose how many
weeks of past appointments you want synchronized.
Your MobilePro comes with ActiveSync already installed. However, to
synchronize information with your computer, you must also install
ActiveSync on your computer.
Install ActiveSync on your computer from the Companion CD as follows.
