ActiveSync – Initial Setup
The following instructions relate to initial setup of ActiveSync. When there is a Connect icon on
the MX3X desktop, this section can be bypassed.
Serial Connection
Select Start | Settings | Control Panel | PC Connection . Click the Change button. From the
popup list, choose
Serial 1 @ 57600
Note: The default is 57600 baud.
This will set up the MX3X to use COM 1. If the MX3X has a dual-serial port endcap, the Serial 3
@ 57600 can also be selected. Click OK and ensure the check box for "Allow connection with
desktop computer when device is attached" is checked.
Click OK to return to the Control Panel.
Select Scanner and ensure the integrated scanner is set to a port that is NOT the same as the
ActiveSync port.
IrDA Connection
Note: The ActiveSync connection does true IrDA, not serial over IR, or TCP/IP (Winsock) over
IR, like many infrared connections. Therefore, it is important to use a PC infrared
interface which supports the handshaking needed for ActiveSync. This, unfortunately,
precludes using many brands of laptops, which only use a simple infrared interface, even
though they may call it IrDA.
Select Start | Settings | Control Panel | PC Connection . Click the Change button. From the
popup list, choose
IR @ 115200
This will set up the MX3X to use the Infrared port. Click OK and ensure the check box for
"Allow connection with desktop computer when device is attached" is checked.
Click OK to return to the Control Panel.
Select Scanner and ensure the integrated scanner is set to a port that is NOT the same as the
ActiveSync port.
USB Connection
Select Start | Settings | Control Panel | PC Connection . Click the Change button. From the
popup list, choose
USB “Client”
This will set up the MX3X to use the USB port. Click OK and ensure the check box for "Allow
connection with desktop computer when device is attached" is checked.
Click OK to return to the Control Panel.
