Chapter 3 ActiveSync
Introduction
To communicate with various host devices, install Microsoft ActiveSync (version 4.1 or higher) on the host
computer. Use ActiveSync to synchronize information on the wearable terminal with information on the host
computer. Changes made on the wearable terminal or host computer appear in both places after synchronization.
ActiveSync software:
•
Allows working with wearable terminal-compatible host applications on the host computer. ActiveSync
replicates data from the wearable terminal so the host application can view, enter, and modify data on the
wearable terminal.
•
Synchronizes files between the wearable terminal and host computer, converting the files to the correct
format.
•
Backs up the data stored on the wearable terminal. Synchronization is a one-step procedure that ensures the
data is always safe and up-to-date.
•
Copies (rather than synchronizes) files between the wearable terminal and host computer.
•
Controls when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization mode, e.g., set to synchronize
continually while the wearable terminal is connected to the host computer, or set to only synchronize on
command.
•
Selects the types of information to synchronize and controls how much data is synchronized.
