be precise – as a USB memory dongle.

RNDIS mode
RNDIS (Remote Network Driver Interface Specification) is the protocol which the ActiveSync
communication has been based on since the release of the version 4.0. The RNDIS mode on your
device in combination with the ActiveSync on your local Windows machine provides IP connectivity
across the USB serial bus.
In case you need wired IP connectivity to synchronize data between your application host system
and your Nordic ID Morphic, it is recommended that you use the Ethernet interface on the docking
cradle of the Nordic ID Morphic instead of it is USB interface, and your own synchronization
software instead of the RNDIS option on the Nordic ID Moprhic. This is because the ActiveSync
technology is complex and its remote synchronization feature may expose to possible security
risks.
3.8.30 Volume & Sounds
Windows Embedded CE uses sound effects to indicate diverse occurrences in the device to user.
The occurrences are classified into five categories: application sounds, system events and
warnings, alarms and remainders, keystrokes, and touch-screen taps. The ‘Volume & Sounds’
applet refers to the system events and warnings as ‘events’, and to the alarms and remainders as
‘notifications’. To the keystrokes it refers as ‘key clicks’. With the help of the applet, you can allow
or prevent the sound effects on a source-by-source basis. However, the sound effects of
keystrokes and touch-screen taps have three level volume control of their own, and when you
disable their sound effects, you actually mute their sound.
The ‘Volume & Sounds’ also provides a volume control of a speaker affecting all the sounds the
system produces. In addition, there is a ‘Sound’ tab by which you can have greater choice in
enabling and disabling the event sources, and the sound effects which you assign to them. The tab
also helps you in selecting the sound effect for a particular event by giving you possibility to
preview the sounds available. After having made your choice for the enabled event sources and
their particular sounds, you can save your choice as a scheme file.
3.9 Power Management
In the Nordic ID Morphic system, a so called power manager (PM) controls on power-related
things. One of the tasks of the PM is to save battery energy by reducing power consumption. The
rationale behind reducing the power usage is based on the inactivity of a user or the system. For
example, by default the PM decreases the screen brightness, if the devise remains idle without any
user input either key press or stylus tapping on the screen for the specified period of time. On the
contrary, if user or user application action occurs it is the PM’s task to activate the system. For
instance, if the screen is turned off, the PM directs the system to turning on the screen with the
adjusted, maximum brightness when the user presses some key or taps the screen.
