7.1 Using ActiveSync

Maintaining a steady connection between your phone device
and your desktop or notebook PC is essential. This process
of sharing information is called "synchronization." Active-
Sync synchronizes information stored on your phone from
your PC or Microsoft Exchange Server. It also allows you
to share files between your phone and your PC.
When you synchronize, ActiveSync compares the infor-
mation on your device with the information on your PC and/or
Exchange Server and updates all locations with the most
recent information.
With ActiveSync, you can:
• Keep your Outlook information up-to-date by synchroniz-
ing your phone with your PC.
• Maintain connection with your Inbox, Calendar, and Con-
tacts with a server so that you have the latest information,
even when your computer is turned off.
• Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your phone
and your PC. Installation of new phone software applications
utilities are done through ActiveSync.
• Have control over when synchronization occurs by select-
ing a synchronization schedule.
• 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.
• Using Server ActiveSync, you can synchronize informa-
tion directly with a Microsoft Exchange Server if your com-
pany is running Microsoft Mobile Information Server.
