About Microsoft ActiveSync
With Microsoft ActiveSync on both your PC and mobile device, you can
exchange information between a PC or server and your device. To
synchronize your device with your PC, you must install ActiveSync on the
PC. Using ActiveSync, you can:
Synchronize information between your device and PC or server so that
you have the latest information in all locations.
Change synchronization settings and synchronization schedule.
Copy files between your device and PC.
Back up and restore device information.
Add and remove programs on your device.
Once ActiveSync is installed on your PC, you will be prompted to connect
and create a partnership with your device by using a cable, cradle, or
infrared connection. During this partnership you can decide exactly which
types of information you want to synchronize with your PC and which you
want to synchronize with a server. After the partnership is created, you
can also connect your device to the PC or server using a modem or a
network (Ethernet) card.
