3: Microsoft ActiveSync
Using Microsoft ActiveSync
®
, you can synchronize the information on your desktop com-
puter with the information on your ST4ex/ST4i. Synchronization compares the data on
your ST4ex/ST4i with your desktop computer and updates both computers with the most
recent information.
NOTE : By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types of information.
Use ActiveSync option to turn synchronization on and off for specific information
types.
With ActiveSync, you can also:
●
Back up and restore your ST4ex/ST4i data.
●
Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your ST4ex/ST4i and desktop
computer.
●
Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization mode. For
example, you can synchronize continually while the ST4ex/ST4i is connected to
your desktop computer (using a cradle or the cable), or only when you choose
the synchronize command.
Installing ActiveSync
●
Insert the SmartTerm IV Product CD into the CD-ROM drive of your desktop
computer. Double click to launch the setup file located at CD-ROM drive
ActiveSync folder. (E.g:
d:\
ActiveSync x.x.x\MSASYNC.exe
).
After installation is completed, the setup wizard tells you to connect your device to your
computer, helps you set up a partnership, and guides you through your first syncronization.
During synchronization, ActiveSync compares the changes you’ve made to the data on
your device and desktop computer and updates both computers with the latest information.
After the first synchronization, take a look at Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks on your
device. You will notice the information you have stored in Microsoft Outlook or Microsoft
Schedule on your desktop computer has been copied to your device and you did not
have to type a word. Disconnect your device from your computer and you are ready to
go!
At any time, you can view the synchronization status by double-clicking the ActiveSync
icon placed on the taskbar during setup or by selecting Microsoft ActiveSync from the
Start
menu. In the ActiveSync window, click the
Options
button to change what was
synchronized and when it was done.
