6.1 Introducing ActiveSync

Use Microsoft ActiveSync® to synchronize and exchange phone/com-
puter information. You must install ActiveSync on the computer in order
to sync information and exchange data with the computer. Through tight
integration with Microsoft Office Outlook®, you can easily send personal
information in Microsoft Office Outlook® to the phone or computer. If
your company's Microsoft Exchange Server® supports Exchange Ac-
tiveSync®, your phone can sync information with the remote Microsoft
Exchange Server® via a GPRS connection. While synchronizing, Ac-
tiveSync 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 Office Outlook® contacts, task, calendar, and e-mail,
etc., as well as syncing Internet Explorer® My Favorites, pictures,
6
notes and recordings, video, and files 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 con-
tacts, task, calendar appointments, and e-mail, etc.
• Directly exchange data between phone and computer without synchro-
nization.
Set sync options. Select the sync data types and specific amount of
•
data to sync. For example, sync calendar information only when it is
within a specified 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
• Install desktop theme and ring tone to the 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
