Connecting to Your PC
Most users want to synchronize the MobilePro
or notebook computer. In this mode, the MobilePro is a companion
PC. The latest work done on either the MobilePro or the desktop
automatically appears on both machines, once the synchronization
process occurs. The following section provides an overview of the
synchronization process. For detailed instructions, see Chapter
the NEC MobilePro 780 User's Guide.
To configure your MobilePro for synchronization
you must do the following:
Verify the accuracy of the PC Connection
default settings on your MobilePro.
Ensure the availability of the serial port
on your desktop or notebook computer.
Connect the PC Connect cable to your desktop
or notebook computer and to your MobilePro.
Install Microsoft ActiveSync on your desktop or
notebook computer.
Create a partnership between your desktop or
notebook computer and your MobilePro.
Verify that the desired synchronization services
are configured.
Microsoft ActiveSync automatically synchronizes your MobilePro with
your PC's Microsoft Outlook or Schedule+ email, contacts, calendar,
™
and task list each time you attach the PC Connect cable.
Setting Up a Remote Connection
In addition to using your MobilePro as a companion PC, when you travel
you can connect by modem directly to an internet service provider and a
network remote access server, to get email and to view web pages.
Refer to Chapter 5,"Setting Up a Remote Connection, " of the user's guide.
