Understanding ActiveSync

ActiveSync synchronizes information stored on your Smartphone with Microsoft
Outlook ® information on your desktop computer or Microsoft Exchange Server. It also
allows you to share files between your Smartphone and your desktop computer.
When you synchronize, ActiveSync compares the information on your Smartphone with
the information on your desktop computer and/or Exchange Server and updates all
locations with the most recent information.
With ActiveSync, you can:
• Synchronize Outlook email, Contacts, Calendar, and Tasks information on your
Smartphone with your desktop computer.
• Synchronize Outlook email, Contacts, and Calendar on your Smartphone with the
Outlook information on a server running Microsoft Exchange Server so that you have
the latest information, even when your desktop computer is turned off. You can
synchronize with an Exchange server if your company or service provider is running
Microsoft Exchange Server with Exchange ActiveSync. You can synchronize Tasks
information with your desktop computer, but not with a server.
• Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your Smartphone and your desktop
computer.
• Synchronize on a schedule to control when synchronization occurs.
• Select which types of information are synchronized and specify how much information
is synchronized. For example, you can choose how many weeks of past appointments
to synchronize.

Setting up ActiveSync

Using Microsoft ActiveSync, you can synchronize information on the Smartphone with
your desktop computer and/or Microsoft Exchange Server. This section explains how to:
• Install ActiveSync on your desktop computer.
• Create a partnership between your desktop computer and the Smartphone.
• Configure an Exchange Server connection (if you will be synchronizing with a
corporate or service provider server running Microsoft Exchange Server with
Exchange ActiveSync).
