There are two ways of setting up Direct Push. You can either configure it directly from your mobile handheld Pocket PC wirelessly, or when tethered to your desktop PC.  The following walk-through describes setting up Direct Push via the desktop option where no prior pairing has been done.

1. Desktop PC screen with ActiveSync installed and prior to initial synchronization

   

2. Prompt to perform initial pairing between Pocket PC and ActiveSync

   

3. Prompt to synchronize with Exchange Server.  Select check box to setup Direct Push.

   

4. Dialog to enter various Exchange Server credentials. It is highly recommended to enable SSL encryption.

   

5. Detailed dialog to set various Direct Push synchronization options.  Note that it is possible to synchronize Contacts, Calendar and Task OTA (Over-the-air) as well.  Here, we choose to synchronize only e-mail direct with Exchange Server.

   

6. Further define additional detailed rules for Direct Push e-mail.  Note that "Select Folder" is greyed out.  It will become available after the first synchronization.  By default, only the "INBOX" will be selected this time round.

   

7. Direct Push setup completed!

   

8. Synchronizing for the first time.  Note that Direct Push will always utilize the desktop’s Internet connectivity when tethered to by cable.
