The Windows Mobile/CE Setup tab of the Mobile Device Communication Wizard is the first step in setting up new mobile devices for use with Rosistem Assets. This function enables the application to "see" and communicate with the mobile device and sends the Rosistem Assets program to the device.
This function allows you to setup a connection between Rosistem Assets and your mobile device. A Microsoft ActiveSync Partnership must be established before running Windows Mobile/CE Setup in Rosistem Assets. This only has to be done once for each Windows Mobile/CEmobile device.
All references to Windows Mobile also apply to Windows CE devices. See the Windows Mobile/ CE Similarity topic.
