ActiveSync

To communicate with various host devices, install Microsoft ActiveSync (version 4.5 or higher) on the host

computer. Use ActiveSync to synchronize information on the MC45 with information on the host computer.

Changes made on the MC45 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.

Installing ActiveSync

To install ActiveSync on the host computer, download version 4.5 or higher from the Microsoft web site at

http://www.microsoft.com. Refer to the installation procedures included with the ActiveSync software.

MC45 Setup

The MC45 can be set up to communicate with a USB connection. The MC45 communication settings must be set

to match the communication settings used with ActiveSync.

1. On the MC45 tap Start > ActiveSync.

2. Tap Menu > Connections.

3. Select the connection type from the drop-down list.

4. Tap OK to exit the Connections window

5. Tap OK to exit the ActiveSync window.

6. Proceed with setting up a partnership with a host computer with ActiveSync installed.

NOTE When the MC45 is connected to a host computer and an ActiveSync connection is made, the WLAN radio is

disabled. This is a Microsoft security feature to prevent connection to two networks at the same time.

NOTE Microsoft recommends installing ActiveSync on the host computer before connecting the MC45.
