4.2 Using ActiveSync
Use ActiveSync to transfer and synchronize files between the PDT and
the Host PC.
4.2.1 Setting up a Partnership
During the Microsoft ActiveSync installation, you were prompted to
create a partnership with your mobile device. When you set up a
partnership, you select synchronization and file conversation settings,
which are contained in a file on your desktop computer. This file enables
your desktop computer to recognize your device. Only devices that have a
partnership with a desktop computer can synchronize information
between the two computers.
For more information on partnerships, please refer to your Microsoft
ActiveSync documentation or help file.
Transferring Files:
To transfer files, complete the following steps on the host PC:
• Select Start> Programs >Communication > (Serial, or USB)
Activesync.
• Double-click on the selected ActiveSync icon
• After you have established a connection with PDT, tap the
“Explore” button at the top of the ActiveSync window (or select
Explore from the File menu).
• Navigate to the target directory on your PDT and copy the desired
file by using the Copy/paste method or dragging and dropping the
desired file(s) into the folder.
