Your SIMpad works as a stand-alone device. However, to get the most out
of your SIMpad, you may want to connect to your desktop PC or note-
book.

Microsoft
ActiveSync
is used to exchange data between your PC and
the SIMpad. This program is available on the CD-ROM supplied in the box.
You can use Microsoft ActiveSync to synchronize your Outlook applica-
tions (Inbox, Calendar and Contacts) with the PC. Similarly, you can trans-
fer the complete database from SIMpad to a connected PC (backup func-
tion) or restore a data backup version from the PC to the SIMpad (Restore
function). You can also use ActiveSync to install additional software on
SIMpad (see page 66).
Install ActiveSync on your PC only (it is already installed on SIMpad).
Note: Data transfer is controlled by the PC. No RAS (Remote Access Ser-
vice) may be active on the PC.
Insert the Microsoft ActiveSync CD into your PC. The Setup Wizard should
start automatically. If it does not start, click Run on the Start menu, and
then type d:<setup , where d ist the letter assigned to your CD-ROM drive.
The Microsoft ActiveSync installation wizard will begin the process, click
Next in the first screen.
The next screen shows where the installation folders will be saved to. If
the default location is OK click Next. If you would like to change the loca-
tion, simply click on Change and make your selection, then click Next.
You can connect your SIMpad to a desktop PC using a serial connection
(with the serial PC connection cable supplied), a network connection (with
an optional PC Card) or an infrared connection (using the infrared port).
To exchange data with a PC you can use the serial interface. To make the
connection you need the PC connection cable (supplied with SIMpad).
Insert the 9-pin end of the serial cable into a serial port on your desktop
PC.
Conventional serial interface (RS232)
