1.4 Installing Microsoft ActiveSync
You can use Microsoft ActiveSync technology to synchronize information on
your desktop computer and/or a Microsoft Exchange Server with the
information on your Pocket PC. ActiveSync compares the information on your
Pocket PC with the information on the desktop computer and/or the server and
updates all locations, keeping you up-to-date with the most recent information.
ActiveSync is already installed on your Pocket PC. You need to install
ActiveSync on your desktop computer. Follow the procedure below:
CAUTION:
Before installation, make sure that you have Microsoft Outlook installed on your desktop
computer. If you do not have Outlook or your version of Outlook is earlier than the
version provided on the Companion CD, install Outlook from the Companion CD.
Do not connect your Pocket PC to your desktop computer before ActiveSync is
installed.
During the New Partnership setup, select “Synchronize with this desktop computer.” Do
not select “Synchronize with Microsoft Mobile Information Server and/or this desktop
computer” unless you are sure that your company is running Microsoft Mobile
Information Server 2002 or later. Contact your network administrator or ISP for detailed
information.
