5.5.2 Performing Regular Backups
You can set ActiveSync to automatically backup when the device connects, so you
do not need to back up your NETBOOK PRO manually.
5.6 Synchronizing Your NETBOOK PRO
5.6.1 What Is Synchronization?
You can use synchronization to manage information that you wish to keep up to date
on both your PC and NETBOOK PRO. When you synchronize, ActiveSync checks
the information in your PC program with the matching information on your
NETBOOK PRO, and then updates the files on both your PC and NETBOOK PRO
to include the new information. To synchronize, you must set up a partnership
between the NETBOOK PRO and the PC.
5.6.2 Synchronizing Your NETBOOK PRO
This section details the set-up and day-to-day use of ActiveSync to synchronize files
on the PC. The instructions assume some familiarity with the use of Windows, and
that you are using ActiveSync.
Partnerships are only necessary for synchronization, not to simply copy files from
the PC to the NETBOOK PRO.
5.6.2.1 Creating The Partnership
1. Make sure that your NETBOOK PRO is connected to the PC via the
serial cable.
2. Set the PC to listen on the port the serial cable is connected to.
3. On the NETBOOK PRO, check the PC Connection control panel to
make sure it is set to send to the correct port.
