Microsoft ActiveSync
Microsoft ActiveSync connects the device to a host workstation, which enables you to
• Transfer files,
• Install additional programs, and
• Synchronize information between the workstation and the device.
Requirements
Using ActiveSync with the IK8560 device requires the following:
1. A USB communication cable connecting the host workstation and the IK8560 device; see
2. The IK8560.inf file installed on the hard drive of the host workstation.
3. ActiveSync version 4.1 or higher installed on both the host workstation and the IK8560 device.
IK8560 devices ship with ActiveSync already installed. If ActiveSync is not already installed on the host workstation, you can
download the latest version of ActiveSync from Microsoft’s web site and run the install wizard.
Installing the .INF File on the Host Workstation
To establish an ActiveSync connection, you must install the IK8560.inf file on the host workstation. Once this file is installed, you
will be able to use ActiveSync on the host workstation. You must repeat this process on each workstation where you want to use
an ActiveSync connection to the IK8560.
1. When the device is connected to the host workstation via USB cable and both the device and the host workstation are
powered on, the Found New Hardware Wizard opens on the workstation.
2. Select Install from a list or specific location (Advanced).
3. Click Next.
