ActiveSync Connections
18 GeoExplorer 2005 Series Getting Started Guide
Note – If the connection is not made automatically, check that the
connection has been enabled in the ActiveSync software and on the
handheld. For more information, see Troubleshooting, page 78.
3. Follow the instructions on the office computer screen to connect
the handheld to the computer. You can establish two types of
connections with ActiveSync: a partnership or a guest
relationship.
Information about a partnership is stored permanently on the
computer. You can use a partnership to synchronize files between
the handheld and a computer. If you are going to connect to the
same computer regularly, you should establish a partnership. A
guest relationship lasts only as long as the handheld and the
computer are connected.
4. If you selected a
partnership, use the
ActiveSync software
to configure the
synchronization
settings for your
selected applications
( for example,
Messaging or
Calendar).
For more information,
refer to the ActiveSync
Help.

Tip – If you have GPS Pathfinder
®
Office software version 3.10 or later
installed on your office computer, you can configure the Connection
Manager utility in the GPS Pathfinder Office software to automatically
detect when you connect a GeoExplorer 2005 series handheld to the
computer. This will enable you to automatically transfer data from
TerraSync software, differentially correct the data, and then export it to
a GIS. For more information, refer to the GPS Pathfinder Office Help.
