Chapter 3 ActiveSync
Introduction
To communicate with the host computer, install Microsoft ActiveSync (version 4.0 or higher) on the host computer.
Changes made on the mobile computer or host computer appear in both places after synchronization.
ActiveSync software:
• Allows working with mobile computer-compatible host applications on the host computer. ActiveSync
replicates data from the mobile computer so the host application can view, enter, and modify data on the
mobile computer.
• Synchronizes files between the mobile computer and host computer, converting the files to the correct
format.
• Backs up the data stored on the mobile computer. Synchronization is a one-step procedure that ensures the
data is always safe and up-to-date.
• Copies (rather than synchronizes) files between the mobile computer and host computer.
• Controls when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization mode, e.g., set to synchronize
continually while the mobile computer is connected to the host computer, or set to only synchronize on
command.
• Selects the types of information to synchronize and control how much data is synchronized.
Mobile Computer Setup
Setup the mobile computer to communicate either with a serial connection or a USB connection. See Chapter 2,
Accessories provides for accessory setup and cable connection information. Set the mobile computer
communication settings to match the communication settings used with ActiveSync.
