54 Synchronizing Information and Setting Up E-mail Security
4.1 Setting Up ActiveSync
Microsoft ActiveSync synchronizes information on your device with
information on your PC, such as Microsoft 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.
Specifically, you can use ActiveSync to:
• Synchronize information, such as Outlook E-mail, Contacts,
Calendar, or Tasks information, as well as media files, such as
pictures, video, and music between your device and your PC.
• 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.
• Copy files between your device and your PC without
synchronizing.
• 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.
• Add and remove programs on your device. For details, see
Chapter 5, “Adding and Removing Programs.”
To install and set up ActiveSync on the computer
1. Install ActiveSync on your PC, as described in the Getting Started
Disc.
2. After ActiveSync is installed, the Synchronization Setup Wizard
automatically starts when you connect your device to the PC via
a USB cable provided with your device, an infrared connection
or Bluetooth connection. The wizard will guide you to create a
synchronization relationship between your computer and device.
Click Next.
3. Do not select the Synchronize directly with a server
running Microsoft Exchange Server check box if you want to
synchronize your device with a computer. Just click Next, then
skip to step 8.
