ActiveSync
synchronizes information on your 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 device with the information on your PC and/or Exchange Server and
updates all locations with the most recent information.
With ActiveSync, you can:
●
Synchronize information, such as Outlook E-mail, Contacts, Calendar, or Tasks
information on your device with your PC, as well as pictures, video, and music.
●
Synchronize Outlook E-mail, Contacts, Calendar appointments, and Tasks on your device
directly with Exchange Server so that you can stay up to date even when your PC is
turned off.
●
Exchange files between your device and your PC.
●
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 device and the PC. You can install
ActiveSync from the Getting Started disc that comes with your device. ActiveSync is already
installed on your device.
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 device.
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.
