Communications

Note: You must perform your first ActiveSync operation with a local, direct

connection.
To retain partnerships after a hard reset, capture partnership registry
information in a .reg file and save it in the Flash File System. See the
Windows CE Help File for Symbol Terminals for details.

For more information about using ActiveSync, start ActiveSync on your host computer, then
see ActiveSync Help.

Installing eConnect

eConnect is a control panel applet that automates the launch of a modem connection and
applications, such as ActiveSync or Internet Explorer.

Note: eConnect is needed when establishing a connection using the Four-

Slot Serial or Four-Slot Ethernet cradles.

To install eConnect, download it (for Windows CE .NET) from http://devzone.symbol.com.
Follow the installation instructions included to install the software on your terminal.

Communication Setup

The terminal can communicate with the host computer using the following accessories:

•

Serial Charging Cable (through a serial connection)

•

Single-Slot Serial Cradle (through a serial connection)

•

Four-Slot Serial Cradle (through a serial connection)

•

Four-Slot Ethernet Cradle (through an Ethernet connection).

For each accessory, you need to follow instructions on configuring your host computer,
setting up the connection between the terminal and the host computer, and configuring the
terminal.

Using the Serial Charging Cable

1.

Ensure that ActiveSync was installed on the host computer and a partnership was
created. See

Installing ActiveSync
