Introducing Activesync - DOPOD 838PRO User Manual

6.1 Introducing ActiveSync

Use Microsoft ActiveSync® to synchronize and exchange phone/
computer information. You must install ActiveSync on the computer
in order to sync information and exchange data with the computer.
Through tight integration with Microsoft Offi ce Outlook®, you can easily
send personal information in Microsoft Offi ce Outlook® to the phone or
computer. If the your company's Microsoft Exchange Server® supports
Exchange ActiveSync®, your phone can sync information with the
6
remote Microsoft Exchange Server® via a GPRS/UMTS connection.
When synchronizing, ActiveSync will compare the information between
the computer and the Exchange Server, and then add the new data to
the old folder to update information on the phone and the computer.
Using Microsoft ActiveSync®, you can:
• Sync phone and computer data. For example: personal information
such as Microsoft Offi ce Outlook® contacts, task, calendar, and e-mail,
etc., as well as syncing Internet Explorer® My Favorites, pictures,
notes and recordings, video, and fi les on the phone in My Documents.
• Sync phone with Exchange Server®. Sync with the remote server
via Exchange Server to update personal information such as Outlook
contacts, task, calendar appointments, and e-mail, etc.
• Directly exchange data between phone and computer without
synchronization.
• Set sync options. Select the sync data types and specifi c amount of
data to sync. For example, sync calendar information only when it is
within a specifi ed number of weeks ago.
• Create backups of your contacts, calendar, and task information on the
computer. If data on the device is lost, you can restore the data from
Outlook to the mobile device through ActiveSync.
• Install software to your Windows Mobile™ device
You can obtain the ActiveSync installation program from the included
user CD. In addition, you can also download the latest version of the
ActiveSync® installation program from Dopod or the Microsoft® website
