Chapter 4 Synchronizing Information and Setting Up E-mail Security 4.1 Using ActiveSync 4.2 Synchronizing Information 4.3 Synchronizing via Infrared and Bluetooth 4.4 Synchronizing Music, Video and Pictures 4.
4.1 Using ActiveSync ActiveSync synchronizes information on your device with information on your PC, such as Outlook content. ActiveSync can also synchronize over a wireless or cellular network with Microsoft Exchange Server, if your company or service provider is running Microsoft Exchange Server with Exchange ActiveSync. When you synchronize, ActiveSync compares the information on your device with the information on your PC and/or Exchange Server and updates all locations with the most recent information.
You may be able to synchronize your device with Exchange Server through your company or wireless service provider. If you plan to do so, obtain the name of the Exchange Server, your user name, password, and domain name from your administrator before starting the Sync Setup Wizard. Notes ActiveSync 4.2 does not support remote synchronization. ActiveSync 4.2 does not support Backup/Restore of mobile device data. To install and set up ActiveSync 1.
To select the connection type while synchronizing ActiveSync 4.x utilizes a network connection with Windows Mobile powered devices, since this allows faster data transfer than a serial USB connection. When the PC is connected to the Internet or a local network, in some cases, the PC may disconnect the ActiveSync connection with your device in favor of the Internet or network connection. If this happens, you have to manually select the connection type for your device. 1.
4.2 Synchronizing Information When you connect your device to the PC using a USB or serial cable, an infrared connection, or a Bluetooth connection, ActiveSync will immediately synchronize. While the device is connected, ActiveSync synchronizes every time you make a change on either the PC or the device.
To start and stop synchronization • To synchronize Outlook information and other local information on the PC, including media files, connect your device to the PC using Bluetooth, infrared (IR) or a cable or cradle. • If you are synchronizing directly with Exchange Server, you can use this connection to the PC to "pass through" to the network, or you can synchronize without connecting to the PC over a cellular or Wi-Fi network. • In ActiveSync, tap Sync.
1. In ActiveSync on the device, tap Menu > Configure Server. If you have not yet set up synchronization with Exchange Server, this will say Add Server Source. 2. In Server address, enter the name of the server running Exchange Server, and tap Next. 3. Enter your user name, password, and domain, and tap Next. To change the rules for resolving synchronization conflicts, tap Advanced. 4. Select the check boxes for the types of information items that you want to synchronize with Exchange Server. 5.
In order for the Direct Push feature to work on your device, your private or corporate network must use Microsoft Exchange Server Service Pack 2 (SP2) with Exchange ActiveSync. The Direct Push feature will be enabled after your first full synchronization with the Exchange Server. • Using Comm Manager 1. On the Today screen, tap Start > Programs > Comm Manager. 2. On the Comm Manager screen, tap the Microsoft DirectPush button.
Note When both the GPRS and Wi-Fi connections are turned on at the same time, the Direct Push feature will always go through the GPRS connection. To schedule synchronization at regular time intervals You can set how often to synchronize during Peak times (which usually refer to your working hours) when e-mail volume is high, as well as Offpeak times when e-mail volume is low. 1. In ActiveSync on your device, tap Menu > Schedule. 2.
To synchronize with a PC via Bluetooth 1. Follow the instructions in ActiveSync Help on the PC for configuring Bluetooth on your PC to support ActiveSync. 2. On the device, tap Start > Programs > ActiveSync. 3. Tap Menu > Connect via Bluetooth. Make sure that Bluetooth is turned on at the device and the PC, and that they are within close range. 4.
• Install Windows Media Player Version 10 on the PC. • Connect your device to the PC with a USB cable. If the device is currently connected using Bluetooth or infrared, you must end that connection before media can be synchronized. • Insert a storage card into your device (32MB or larger is recommended). • Set up a sync partnership between the storage card and Windows Media Player.
4.5 Setting Up E-mail Security Windows Mobile on your device protects your Outlook e-mails through Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension (S/MIME), which allows you to digitally sign your messages as well as encrypt them. Using authorization keys and certificates, S/MIME allows you to digitally sign your e-mail messages to prove your identity to the recipients. Authorization keys are also used when encrypting messages to improve privacy and prevent undue tampering or hacking of your messages.
4. Do one or both of the following: • To sign all your outgoing e-mail messages so that recipients can be certain that the messages were sent by you and have not been altered in any way, select the Sign all outgoing e-mail messages check box. • To encrypt all your outgoing e-mail messages so that the contents of your messages are protected from being viewed by anyone other then the intended recipients, select the Encrypt all outgoing e-mail messages check box. 5.
