Installing Microsoft ActiveSync

You must install Microsoft ActiveSync on your host PC to enable synchronization with your MobilePro. The Microsoft ActiveSync CD that ships with your MobilePro contains the ActiveSync software designed for synchronization with Microsoft Office components.

If your host PC is connected to a network, configure one of the following before installing Microsoft ActiveSync:

!Configure a WINS server on the host PC's network, or,

!Configure the host PC's IP address on the MobilePro as follows:

1.Tap Start, Settings, Control Panel, and double tap the network icon.

2.Highlight NE2000 Compatible Ethernet Driver and select the Properties button.

3.In the IP address tab, select (place a dot beside) “Obtain an IP address via DCHP.”

4.Select the Name Servers tab and enter the host PC's IP address in the “Primary WINS” field.

To identify the host PC's IP address, run an IP config utility. In Windows 95, 98, and 2000, run Win IP Config. In Windows NT, run IP Config. If you need assistance, see your network administrator.

Installing ActiveSync

Follow these steps to install Microsoft ActiveSync for synchronization with Microsoft Outlook. The installation sequence may vary depending upon the Microsoft components installed on your host PC.
