DuraMax Tablet 8.4 Product Guide v2.01
Installing ActiveSync on Your Primary Computer
Microsoft ActiveSync is pre-installed on the Tablet, but may not be installed on your primary
computer. Run a search for ActiveSync on your primary computer if you are uncertain whether
or not it is installed on the computer.
If the ActiveSync application is not present on your primary computer, download the most
current version of ActiveSync from:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/downloads/default.mspx. Note that ActiveSync
installation steps may vary from the steps given here.
After starting ActiveSync Setup on your primary computer, you will be asked for the folder in
which ActiveSync should be installed. Grayhill recommends the default folder. Click Next.
Connecting the Dock to Your Computer
When the ActiveSync Setup program’s Get Connected dialog appears (see Figure 16), use the
USB cable to connect the dock (containing your Tablet) to your primary computer.

To connect the dock to your primary computer, simply insert the USB B-Type male connector
on the USB cable into the Tablet docking cradle’s USB Client port, and insert the USB A-Type
male connector into the USB Host port on your primary computer. Click Next.
Choosing the ActiveSync Partnership Type
ActiveSync offers two ways to connect the Tablet to your computer. These different types of
connections are called partnerships. The next dialog that appears (see Figure 17) during
ActiveSync Setup asks for you to choose one of two types of partnerships: a Standard
Partnership or a Guest Partnership. There are advantages and disadvantages to each type of
partnership, as you can see in Table 4 below, which presents the pro’s and con’s of each
partnership type.
