Important Information – Cold Boot and Loss of Host Re-connection
ActiveSync assigns a partnership between a client and a host computer. A partnership is defined
by two objects -- a unique computer name and a random number generated when the partnership
is first created. An ActiveSync partnership between a unique client can be established to two
hosts.
If the VX7 is cold booted, the random number is deleted – and the partnership with the last one of
the two hosts is also deleted. The host retains the random numbers and unique names of all
devices having a partnership with it. Two clients cannot have a partnership with the same host if
they have the same name. (Control Panel | System | Device Name)
If the cold booted VX7 tries to reestablish the partnership with the same host PC, a new random
number is generated for the VX7 and ActiveSync will insist the unique name of the VX7 be
changed. If the VX7 is associated with a second host, changing the name will destroy that
partnership as well. This can cause some confusion when re-establishing partnerships with hosts.
