typical operations you can perform via ActiveSync are:
•
Synchronize, backup, and restore information on the mobile terminal
•
Add and remove files from the mobile terminal
•
Copy data between the mobile terminal and the PC
•
Use the connection to debug programs you develop.

Hardware/Software Requirements
The following is required to establish an ActiveSync connection via the
USB 2.0 Client Port:
•
ActiveSync version 3.8 or later installed on the host PC (Version
4.5 recommended)
•
A DSV3 mobile terminal.
•

PC Configuration for USB 2.0 ActiveSync (First Time Only)
•
Run the

After running the Sync setup you will be prompted to connect your DSV3 terminal to the PC.
Turn your DSV3 terminal on and connect it to any one of the host PC USB ports using the USB
2.0 to Mini B cable. After the DSV3 terminal has been connected, Windows will notify you that it
has “Found New Hardware”. You will then be asked “Can Windows Update search for new
software?” Answer: “NO, not this time.”
•
The Wizard will then ask how you want to install software. Answer: Install the software
automatically (Recommended).
11.1.3
Establishing a Connection
•
Each time you connect the DSV3 terminal to the host PC you will be asked if you would like to
set up a Partnership. If you will be using this DSV3 terminal on this PC regularly then answer
“
Yes
”. If this is a one time use on this PC, answer “
No
”. In either case you will be connected and
can transfer files between the PC and the DSV3 terminal.

Troubleshooting the Connection
If a connection is not automatically established, check the following:
