1.5 Installing Microsoft ActiveSync
You can use Microsoft ActiveSync technology to synchronize information on
your desktop computer and/or a Microsoft Exchange Server with the
information on your A701. ActiveSync compares the information on your A701
with the information on the desktop computer and/or the server and updates all
locations, keeping you up-to-date with the most recent information.
ActiveSync is already installed on your A701. You need to install ActiveSync
on your desktop computer.
CAUTION:
Before installation, make sure that you have Microsoft Outlook installed on your desktop
computer.
Do not connect your A701 to your desktop computer before ActiveSync is installed.
In some specific cases, A701 may experience connection problems when it is
connected to a Windows computer running ActiveSync 4.0. The problems may be
caused by the interoperability with desktop firewall applications, applications that
manage network traffic, or LAN configuration tools. To resolve the problems, please
visit Microsoft web site at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/help/activesync, or
disable the LAN configuration tools.
