Synchronization Methods
In addition to the USB connection already described in section 1.5, you have other options for
synchronizing your information. You can use:
Infrared connection
Remote synchronization
Synchronizing by Using an Infrared Connection
You can connect your Smartphone to another mobile device or your desktop computer by
using an infrared connection. This method is ideal for changing quickly between multiple
devices because there are no cables or adapters to connect.
For more information about synchronizing by using an infrared connection or other
connection types, see ActiveSync Help on your desktop computer.
Configuring Remote Synchronization
You can synchronize remotely with your desktop computer, or with an Exchange server.
Remote synchronization is when your device is synchronizing over a wireless connection
instead of using a direct local connection to a desktop computer. Synchronizing remotely with
your desktop computer may depend on your network configuration. For example, you may
need to set up a virtual private network (VPN) connection to your network.
To synchronize remotely you must configure your Smartphone as described in the following
procedure. You will also need to set up a connection. For information about setting up a
connection, see "Data Connections" in section 4.1. Then you will be ready to synchronize
your information.
Once you have set up ActiveSync, you can synchronize
information at any time by using ActiveSync on the Smartphone.
1. On the Home screen, select Start.
2. Select ActiveSync.
3. To start synchronization, select Sync.
4. To stop synchronizing, select Stop.
