Meeting Maker / Pocket PC Synchronization Configuration Instructions

These instructions are for synchronizing your Pocket PC based device with the MMXP server hosted by ISC. If you are not using this server, please contact your LSP or Meeting Maker administrator for your server's specific configuration instructions. This solution is only for Pocket PC devices synchronizing with a Windows 2000 or XP based computer. While solutions exist for synchronizing Pocket PCs with the Macintosh platform, there is not currently a way to synchronize with Meeting Maker in this configuration.

To get your Pocket PC device to synchronize with our Meeting Maker server, you will need to install Intellisync for Meeting Maker. You can contact Magida Phillips to learn how to obtain a copy.

Provider Notes: This solution does NOT utilize Microsoft's ActiveSync application, rather the synchronization happens solely through the Intellisync application.
The following directions were generated with the following hardware:

• Dell Axim X3 running Windows Mobile 2003, Second Edition
• Windows XP, SP2
• Intellisync for Meeting Maker 8.5

During the Intellisync installation process you'll be asked to configure the client with the Server URL as pictured below. Please contact your Meeting Maker administrator for the appropriate URL for your environment:

After the installer is finished, launch Intellisync, and continue the configuration as shown below:

• Make sure that you restart the PC before proceeding further.
• Open the Intellisync for Meeting Maker application from Start-->Program Files-->Meeting Maker-->Intellisync for Meeting Maker
• Click on "Specify Synchronization Settings"
  
  
  
• Enter in the user specific information under User ID and Password, and click on the "Configure Applications" button
  
  
  
  
• The following example only shows the configuration for synchronizing the calendar with a Pocket PC. If you plan on synchronizing with Meeting Maker's Contacts and/or ToDo's, you'll need to configure those applications appropriately.
• Click on the box next to Appointments and click on Choose.
• Select Pocket PC/Windows CE from the Choose Translator window, make sure that the Synchronize radio button is selected and click OK.
  
  
  
• You should now see the following window, configured as below:
  
  
  
• Click on Configure-->Advanced settings. You should look at the tabs and settings here to make sure that your synchronization options are set the way you want them to be. When you are finished here, click on OK until you are back at the main screen.
• When you are ready to synchronize, click on the Synchronize your Data button and follow the prompts as they appear.

NOTE: Please be aware that the first synchronization will take quite some time (up to one hour in some cases) before indicating any progress. Additionally, the window may display the message "Not Responding". This is normal behavior - do not cancel the process.

The install process will place the Intellisync for Meeting Maker client in the Meeting Maker folder. As part of the installation process an Online Manual is installed.
