Using ActiveSync
Using ActiveSync
Introduction
Requirement : ActiveSync (version 4.5 or higher for Windows XP desktop/laptop computers) must be resident on the host
(desktop/laptop) computer. Windows Mobile Device Center (version 6.1 or higher) is required for a Windows
Vista/Windows 7 desktop/laptop computer. ActiveSync and Windows Mobile Device Center for the PC is available from the
Microsoft website. Follow their instructions to locate, download and install ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center on
your desktop computer.
Note: For readability in this section, ActiveSync will be used in instructions and explanations. If you have a Windows
Vista or Windows 7 operating system on your desktop/laptop, replace ActiveSync with Windows Mobile Device Center.
Using Microsoft ActiveSync, you can synchronize information on your desktop computer with the MX7 Tecton and vice versa.
Synchronization compares the data on your mobile device with your desktop computer and updates both with the most recent
data.
For example, you can:
l Back up and restore your device data.
l Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your device and desktop computer.
l Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization mode. For example, you can synchronize con-
tinually while connected to your desktop computer or only when you choose the synchronize command.
By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types of information. Use ActiveSync Options to specify the
types of information you want to synchronize. The synchronization process makes the data (in the information types you
select) identical on both your desktop computer and your device.
When installation of ActiveSync is complete on your desktop computer, the ActiveSync Setup Wizard begins and starts the
following processes:
l connect your device to your desktop computer,
l set up a partnership so you can synchronize information between your device and your desktop computer, and
l customize your synchronization settings.
Because ActiveSync is already installed on your device, your first synchronization process begins automatically when you
finish setting up your desktop computer in the ActiveSync wizard. For more information about using ActiveSync on your
desktop computer, open ActiveSync, then open ActiveSync Help.
Initial Setup
The initial setup of ActiveSync must be made via a USB connection. Partnerships can only be created using USB cable
connection.
Connect via USB
The default connection type is USBClient
This is the only connection option supported on the MX7 Tecton.
To verify it is set to USB, select
Start | Settings | Connections | USB to PC
Ensure the checkbox for "Enable advanced network functionality" is checked. Tap OK to return to the Connections panel.
Connect the USB cable to the PC (the host) and the mobile device (the client) as detailed below. USB will start automatically
when the USB cable is connected.
When the MX7 Tecton loses connection, e.g. enters Suspend Mode, etc., the connection to ActiveSync will be lost. When the
MX7 Tecton resumes, the ActiveSync session will automatically re-connect.
