Synchronizing Your NETBOOK PRO

6.6 Synchronizing Your NETBOOK PRO

6.6.1 What Is Synchronization?

You can use synchronization to manage information that you wish to keep up to date on both your PC and NETBOOK PRO. When you synchronize, ActiveSync checks the information in your PC program with the matching information on your NETBOOK PRO, and then updates the files on both your PC and NETBOOK PRO to include the new information. To synchronize, you must set up a partnership between the NETBOOK PRO and the PC.

6.6.2 Synchronizing Your NETBOOK PRO

This section details the set-up and day-to-day use of ActiveSync to synchronize files on the PC. The instructions assume some familiarity with the use of Windows, and that you are using ActiveSync.

Partnerships are only necessary for synchronization, not to simply copy files from the PC to the NETBOOK PRO.

6.6.2.1Creating The Partnership

1.Make sure that your NETBOOK PRO is connected to the PC via the serial cable.

2.Set the PC to listen on the port the serial cable is connected to.

3.On the NETBOOK PRO, check the PC Connection control panel to make sure it is set to send to the correct port.

4.On the NETBOOK PRO, click on the Start button, then Programs, then ActiveSync, and select direct from the ActiveSync menu. This will connect the NETBOOK PRO to the PC and bring up the ActiveSync dialogue on the PC.
