E-EQ-VX6RG-A VX6 Reference Guide
USB Transfer
•
A desktop or laptop PC with an available USB port and a VX6 with a USB port. The
desktop or laptop PC must be running Windows 98 SR2 or Windows 2000.
•
A standard USB cable with a type A plug on one end, and a type B plug on the
other.
Connect
Connect the modem cable to the PC (the host) and the VX6 (the client). Select “Connect” from the
Start Menu on the VX6 (
Start | Programs | Communications | Connect) .
Note: Run “Connect” when the “Get Connected” wizard on the host PC is checking COM
ports to establish a connection for the first time.
Note: USB will start automatically when the cable is connected, not requiring you to select
“Connect” from the Start menu.
Explore
From the ActiveSync Dialog on the Desktop PC, click on the Explore button, which allows you to
explore the VX6 from the PC side, with some limitations. You can copy files to or from the VX6
by drag-and-drop. You will not be allowed to delete files or copy files out of the \Windows
directory on the VX6. (Technically, the only files you cannot delete or copy are ones marked as
system files in the original build of the Windows CE image. This, however, includes most of the
files in the \Windows directory).
