4.1 Setting Up ActiveSync

Microsoft ActiveSync synchronises information on your Ameo with information on your PC, such as Microsoft Outlook content. ActiveSync can also synchronise over a wireless or cellular network with Microsoft Exchange Server, if your company or service provider is running Microsoft Exchange Server with Exchange ActiveSync. Specifically, you can use ActiveSync to:



Synchronise information such as Outlook E-mail, Contacts, Calendar, or Tasks information, as well as media files such as pictures, video, and music between your Ameo and your PC.



Synchronise Outlook E-mail, Contacts, Calendar appointments, and Tasks on your Ameo directly with Exchange Server so that you can stay up-to-date even when your PC is turned off.



Copy files between your Ameo and your PC without synchronising.



Select which types of information are synchronised and specify how much information is synchronised. For example, you can choose how many weeks of past Calendar appointments to synchronise.



Add and remove programs on your Ameo. For details, see Chapter 5, “Adding and Removing Programs.”

To install and set up ActiveSync on the computer

1. Install ActiveSync on your PC, as described in the Getting Started CD.

2. After ActiveSync is installed, the Synchronisation Setup Wizard automatically

starts when you connect your Ameo to the PC. The wizard will guide you to create a synchronisation relationship between your computer and Ameo. Click Next.

2. In ActiveSync, tap Sync. To end synchronisation before it completes, tap

Stop.

Note ActiveSync 4.2 utilizes a network type of connection with Windows Mobile powered

devices, since this allows faster data transfer than a serial USB connection. When the PC is connected to the Internet or a local network, in some cases, the PC may disconnect the ActiveSync connection with your Ameo in favor of the Internet or network connection. If this happens, tap Start > Settings > Connections tab

> USB to PC and select ActiveSync then clear the Enable advanced network functionality check box. This makes ActiveSync utilize a serial USB connection

with your Ameo.

Synchronise Outlook information with the computer

You can also set up your Ameo to synchronise with more than one PC or with a combination of one or more PCs and Exchange Server. When synchronising with multiple computers, the items that you synchronise will appear on all of the computers with which they are synchronised. For example, if you have set up synchronisation with two PCs (PC1 and PC2), which have different items, and

Synchronis ing Information and Setting U p Email Security

you synchronise Contacts and Calendar on your Ameo with both computers, the result is as follows:

Location New state

PC1

PC2

Pocket PC Phone

Note Outlook e-mail can be synchronised with only one computer.

All Outlook contacts and calendar appointments that were on PC2 are now also on PC1. All Outlook contacts and calendar appointments that were on PC1 are now also on PC2. All Outlook contacts and calendar appointments from both PC1 and PC2 are on your Ameo.

Schedule synchronisation with Exchange Server

You can schedule information to be synchronised automatically between your Ameo and the Exchange Server, or schedule synchronisation at regular time intervals. Choose between these two methods, depending on your e-mail volume and which method you think is more cost-effective.

To receive e-mails and synchronise other information instantly Direct Push technology (push e-mail feature) enables you to receive new e-mails

on your Ameo as soon as they arrive in your Inbox on the Exchange Server. With this feature, items such as contacts, calendar and tasks are also immediately updated onto your Ameo when these items have been changed or new entries have been added on the Exchange Server. To make Direct Push work, you need to have a GPRS connection on your Ameo. The Direct Push feature works for your Ameo only if it is connected to a private network (corporate network) that is using Microsoft Exchange Server Service Pack 2 (SP2) with Exchange ActiveSync.

5.2 Adding and Removing Programs

Before you purchase additional programs for your Ameo, you should note the model name of your Ameo, the version of Windows Mobile software running on it, and the type of processor. This information will help you select a program that is compatible with your Ameo. For more information, see “To get detailed device information” and “To find the operating system version number” in this chapter. Programs available for purchase usually include a Setup program (commonly named "setup.exe") that you must first run on your PC. You can then use ActiveSync to add programs to your Ameo, or add a program directly from the Internet.

To add programs

1. Download the program to your PC (or insert the CD or disk that contains the

program into your PC). You may see a single *.exe ﬁle, a *.zip ﬁle, a Setup. exe ﬁle, or several versions of ﬁles for different device types and processors. Be sure to select a program designed for your Ameo.

2. Read any installation instructions or documentation that comes with the

program. Many programs provide special installation instructions.

3. Connect your Ameo to the PC.

4. Double-click the *.exe ﬁle.

5.4 Copying Files

You can copy files to your PC using ActiveSync, or copy files to a storage card you insert into your Ameo. Your Ameo has an expansion slot for inserting a miniSD card. Using ActiveSync, you can copy or move information from the PC to your Ameo and vice versa. Copying a file results in separate versions of a file on your Ameo and PC. Because the files are not synchronised, changes made to one file will not affect the other.

Note If you want to automatically update information on both your Ameo and PC,

synchronise the information instead. For more information about copying and synchronising files, see ActiveSync Help on your PC.
