Tips For Your First Activesync Connection - In-situ RuggedReader Operator's Manual

SECTION 2: GETTING STARTED
TIP: Multiple
RuggedReaders
will not
synchronize with
ActiveSync on the same
desktop computer. To
connect multiple devices to
your desktop computer,
connect each as a guest.
CAUTION:
When setting up
a full synchroni-
zation partnership, be sure
to leave the "Files" option
unchecked in the Sync
Setup Wizard. A file in the
synchronization folder on
the desktop computer can
overwrite a file of the same
name on the
RuggedReader.

Tips for Your First ActiveSync Connection

• To use In-Situ's RuggedReader software, we recommend you set up a
"Guest" connection in ActiveSync.
To connect as a "Guest," just click
Cancel on the first page of the Sync
Setup wizard. ActiveSync then
recognizes your device as a Guest.
Setting up as a Guest creates a
temporary relationship with a desktop
computer. Each time the device connects to the desktop, you need to
set it up as a Guest by clicking Cancel at the first screen of the Sync
Setup Wizard.
• Synchronization of Pocket-Situ 4 or Win-Situ Mobile (Pocket-Situ 5)
data files is handled by an In-Situ utility called "Win-Situ
automates the transfer of data files from your RuggedReader to the
Win-Situ working directory on your desktop PC. Even with a full
synchronization partnership these files are not synchronized automati-
cally by ActiveSync. For information on
these In-Situ programs, see
• The alternative to a Guest connection is a
full synchronization partnership. You can set
up Contacts, Calendar, E-mail, Tasks, etc.
to automatically synchronize whenever
ActiveSync makes a connection. Notes do
not synchronize, and Files synchronize one
way—from the desktop computer to the
RuggedReader.
