Overview

The iDLMax has a physical USB host connection, a physical Mini-USB slave connection, and three wireless communications options viz. Wi-Fi
802.11b, Bluetooth and GSM/GPRS. The use of each depends largely on the application and location of the user.

This chapter contains info on setting up and using the communications channels.

Mini-USB

The Mini-USB connection allows the iDLMax to be connected to a Host PC via the USB cable provided so that files can be transferred and
synchronised between the Host PC and the iDLMax. The iDLMax acts as the USB slave device when connected to a PC as described.

At all times – It is best to switch off the iDLMax before connecting the USB cable.

iDLMax USB Drivers

Before connecting to the iDLMax to a host PC, the USB drivers for the iDLMax must be installed on the Host PC first. From the CD ROM (or
otherwise as obtained from your product/service provided), copy the files wceusbsh.inf and wceusbsh.sys to any convenient folder on the Host
PC.

Host PC connectivity software

When the host PC uses the Microsoft ® Windows Vista operating system,

the Windows Mobile Device Centre v6.1 needs to be installed on the PC

(in most cases this software is to be installed manually, as the default Mobile Device Centre software distributed with Windows Vista is of an older
version and does not function correctly).

In the case where the Host PC uses the Microsoft ® Windows 95, 98, 2000 or XP operating system, it will be required for the Microsoft ® ActiveSync
program to be installed on the host PC to allow it to connect to the iDLMax.

Microsoft® ActiveSync

Microsoft® ActiveSync is a tool that enables file transfer and synchronisation. The iDLMax is delivered with the latest version of ActiveSync loaded.
If ActiveSync is already installed on the intended Host PC, please ensure that the version is V3.8 or higher.

To install Microsoft® ActiveSync, the installation files must be downloaded from the Microsoft® website, www.microsoft.com/downloads/.
Install ActiveSync by running the installation file downloaded. After the required files are extracted and copied to the PC the installation wizard will
run and the following window will be presented.

Click next to proceed with the installation.
