Installing Activesync; Mc45 Setup - Motorola MC45 User Manual

ActiveSync
To communicate with various host devices, install Microsoft ActiveSync (version 4.5 or higher) on the host
computer. Use ActiveSync to synchronize information on the MC45 with information on the host computer.
Changes made on the MC45 or host computer appear in both places after synchronization.
NOTE When the MC45 is connected to a host computer and an ActiveSync connection is made, the WLAN radio is
disabled. This is a Microsoft security feature to prevent connection to two networks at the same time.
ActiveSync software:
•
Allows working with mobile computer-compatible host applications on the host computer. ActiveSync
replicates data from the mobile computer so the host application can view, enter, and modify data on the
mobile computer.
•
Synchronizes files between the mobile computer and host computer, converting the files to the correct
format.
•
Backs up the data stored on the mobile computer. Synchronization is a one-step procedure that ensures the
data is always safe and up-to-date.
•
Copies (rather than synchronizes) files between the mobile computer and host computer.
•
Controls when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization mode, e.g., set to synchronize
continually while the mobile computer is connected to the host computer, or set to only synchronize on
command.
•
Selects the types of information to synchronize and control how much data is synchronized.

Installing ActiveSync

To install ActiveSync on the host computer, download version 4.5 or higher from the Microsoft web site at
