3.2Things To Do Next

This section gives a brief overview of what else you may want to do when you first use your NETBOOK PRO.

3.2.1 Setting Up ActiveSync

ActiveSync allows you to connect the NETBOOK PRO to a PC serially, or through infrared or radio communication. File transfers, file synchronization and sending e- mail can all be done via ActiveSync.

ActiveSync must be connected through serial or infrared at least once before other connection types (Bluetooth, Ethernet, 802.11) are possible.

Install the most recent version of ActiveSync on your PC (check the Microsoft website for the latest software).

3.2.1.1Partnerships

There are two types of connection provided for by ActiveSync:

•Guest - A guest connection allows file transfers. No synchronization is per- formed. If the NETBOOK PRO is password protected, the password prompt will appear when connecting as guest.

•Partnership - A partnership connection allows for synchronization of files, e-mail and other data. If the NETBOOK PRO is password protected, a pass- word prompt will appear before allowing synchronization. It is necessary to establish a partnership before trying to connect to ActiveSync via Ethernet, Bluetooth, or 802.11.

You can disconnect any ActiveSync connection by double-clicking on the blue icon in the NETBOOK PRO’s system tray and selecting the Disconnect button from the dialog.
