Re: How to Active Sync over wince serial port

So, you do *not* have a Windows Mobile device, but a Windows CE device? Are
you sure that the ActiveSync components are included in the device? It's
quite possible for the device vendor to choose not to put them in (or
anything else; the operating system is just a bunch of components from which
the OEM can pick and choose). If the ActiveSync pieces are included, it's
also possible that serial connectivity may not be supported. The short
answer to your question is, "Ask the device vendor for instructions, if any,
for connecting with ActiveSync." Here's a post from a long time back in the
archives that I wrote concerning the actual steps for a device that *does*
have the right components in the OS already:

Did you include TAPI in the OS? I don't think that RAS is required, but the
right place to look for answers is *not* a Pocket PC ActiveSync newsgroup,
but microsoft.public.windowsce.platbuilder (you can use GoogleGroups to
search for previous people who have had problems getting the right set of
components picked out). The information that I posted a link to last time
should tell you what to do...did you read it?

Hi,
ActiveSync uses PPP to connect to your PC. On the Windows CE side it uses
TCP/IP and RAPI to communicate. This is done via the RAS PPP interface.
