14.15 Troubleshooting ActiveSync.
To establish a successful connection with ActiveSync, a number of independent factors must be
satisfied. Be prepared to spend time to understand the connection procedure. With patience you will
soon be connecting quickly and reliably.

14.16.1 What is Synchronization.
Synchronization is the act of keeping two things the same. In the world of planners and address lists
and files, it specifically means being able to keep the entries, or records on the BrailleNote QT the
same as those on a PC, or vice versa. When you synchronize, the information goes back and forth
between the two systems in such a way that both sides end up the same, with a little help from you
occasionally. So, if you enter a friend's name or an appointment on the BrailleNote QT, you can
ensure that by synchronizing, they will end up recorded in MS Outlook as well. If you don't want
your entries and records to be the same, then synchronizing is not for you.

There is one kind of BrailleNote QT to PC synchronization that uses ActiveSync without KeySync,
and that is file synchronization. This is discussed in detail in 14.17 File Synchronization.

14.16.2 Getting the best out of Synchronization.
Like so many tools, the efficiency of synchronization is as much in the way you use it as in the
design. Synchronization is designed to keep both copies of a record the same. While it is possible to
temporarily override the process on a record by record basis, the ultimate objective of
synchronizing is to allow you to keep accurate, matched records, and if that is not what you want to
do, perhaps synchronizing is not the way to go.

Synchronizing works best when you do it often, rather than leave the records to build up. If you do
it often, there won't be so many opportunities for conflicts and duplicates, and so it will work
quickly without you having to make lots of judgment calls.

quickly without you having to make lots of judgment calls.
The first time you synchronize records, any records that are unique to either KeySoft or Outlook
will copy themselves to the other system. Duplicate records will need user intervention, and the
length of time this takes will be determined by how many you have. However, it will never be such
a large job again, especially if, as we mentioned before, you synchronize regularly.
