Synchronising Information
This chapter introduces basic concepts and features of Microsoft ActiveSync, and explains how to set up Server ActiveSync, synchronise remotely, and create a synchronisation schedule. This chapter also gives an overview of the different types of Microsoft Outlook information you can synchronise.
For more information about ActiveSync, see ActiveSync Help on your desktop computer.
Using ActiveSync
You can synchronise information on your desktop computer and/or a Microsoft Exchange Server with the information on your Smartphone. ActiveSync compares the information on your Smartphone with the information on your desktop computer and/or the server and updates all locations with the most recent information. With ActiveSync, you can:
•Keep your Outlook information
•Choose to synchronise Inbox, Calendar, and Contacts with a server so that you have the latest information, even when your desktop computer is turned off.
•Copy (rather than synchronise) files between your Smartphone and your desktop computer.
•Control when synchronisation occurs by selecting a synchronisation schedule.
•Select which information types are synchronised and control how much information is synchronised. For example, you can choose how many weeks of past appointments to synchronise.
Note: Using Server ActiveSync, you can synchronise information directly with a Micro- soft Exchange Server if your company is running Microsoft Mobile Information Server 2002 or later.
