ActiveSync and LXEConnect
Introduction
Once a relationship (partnership) has been established with Connect (on a desktop computer), ActiveSync will synchronize
using the wireless link, serial port, the infrared port, or USB on the MX3Plus.
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 MX3Plus 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
continually 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.
