Communication Options
Opitmus terminals offer several communication options including Microsoft ActiveSync and wireless
radios.
I/O Connector (Wired Communication)
The mechanical connector on the bottom panel (see I/O Connector on page 3-8) connects the
terminal to various Optimus communication peripherals that connect to a host workstation via
USB (1.1 or higher), thus enabling ActiveSync communication.
For more information, see Connecting and Synchronizing the Terminal and Workstation on
page 7-2.
Wireless Radios (Wireless Communication)
5100s can be equipped with an 802.11b/g and Bluetooth radio or a combination of these
radios.
For more information, see Wireless Radios on page 7-5.
Installing Additional Software
Optimus terminals ship with the operating system, radio drivers, and custom Honeywell software already
installed. These are the default programs that install when your terminal first boots up. You can install
additional software programs on the terminal provided that the following parameters are met:
• the software program was created for a Windows CE Core device.
• the terminal has enough memory to store and run the program.
• the program has an EXE, CAB, or DLL extension.
When selecting programs, verify that the program and version of the program are designed for the
Windows CE 5.0 Core and the terminal’s processor. You can verify your processor by selecting
Start ->
Settings -> Control Panel -> System -> General tab. Make a note of the information in the Processor
field.
To install additional software, see Adding Programs Using ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center
on page 7-5.
