Using ActiveSync
Once a relationship (partnership) has been established with Connect (on a desktop computer), ActiveSync will synchronize
using the wireless link, serial port, or USB on the MX9.
Requirement : ActiveSync (version 4.5 or higher for Windows XP) must be resident on the host computer. Windows Mobile
Device Center (version 6.1 or higher) is required for a Windows Vista or higher host computer. ActiveSync and Windows Mobile
Device Center for the host computer is available from the Microsoft website. Follow their instructions to locate, download and
install ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center on your 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 MX9 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:
• Back up and restore your device data.
• Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your device and desktop computer.
• 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:
• connect your device to your desktop computer,
• set up a partnership so you can synchronize information between your device and your desktop computer, and
• 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.
Note: Contact Technical Assistance (page 15-1) for upgrade availability if your application or control panels are not the same
as the application or control panels presented in this chapter.
MX9 without Touch Screen
The MX9 touch screen can be disabled. It may be easier to configure the MX9 using ActiveSync and HSM Connect (or
LXEConnect) rather than using the MX9 keyboard only.
Initial Setup
The initial setup of ActiveSync must be made via a USB or serial connection. When there is a Connect icon on the desktop,
this section can be bypassed.
Partnerships can only be created using direct serial or a USB cable connection.
After the partnerships are established, ActiveSync communication can be initiated using:
•USB
•Serial
• Wireless
Connect via USB
The default connection type is USB Client.
To change the connection type or to verify it is set to USB, select Start > Settings > Control Panel > PC Connection.
USB Client should be shown.
This will set up the mobile device to use the USB port. Tap OK and ensure the check box for “Allow connection with desktop
computer when device is attached” is checked.
