ActiveSync Communication To synchronize, ActiveSync 4.1 or higher must be installed and configured for the appropriate communication type on the host workstation and the Dolphin terminal. Dolphin terminals ship with ActiveSync already installed. Therefore, if ActiveSync is already installed on the host workstation, you just need to connect the Dolphin terminal to the host workstation (via Dolphin peripheral) to initiate communication. If ActiveSync 4.1 or higher is not installed on the host workstation, install it from the Microsoft Companion CD that came with the Dolphin terminal. Insert the CD into the CD-ROM drive of the host workstation and click the yellow arrow, then Start Here, and follow the directions on your screen. Note: You can also download the most current version of ActiveSync from www.microsoft.com and install. ! When communicating via ActiveSync, your terminal must be connected to the host workstation with a communication peripheral sold/manufactured by Hand Held Products, such as the Dolphin HomeBase or Dolphin Charge/Communication cable. Use of any peripheral not sold/manufactured by Hand Held Products may damage your terminal and will void the warranty. Communication Types The Dolphin 7600 supports the following types of communication via ActiveSync through its I/O Connector (see page 3-14) on the bottom panel: USB The USB cable and hardware peripherals allow the Dolphin terminal to communicate with a workstation or to networked through a USB hub. The Dolphin terminal supports full-speed USB communication (USB 1.1); maximum data transfer rate is 12 Mbps. The Dolphin terminal defaults to USB communication out of the box. RS-232 The RS-232 cable allows the Dolphin terminal to communicate with a workstation, modem, or any RS-232 device. Maximum data transfer rate is 115 Kbps. Hardware Requirements for Setup • Dolphin HomeBase or Dolphin communication cable • Dolphin power cable from Hand Held Products • USB Cable (for USB communication) • Serial Cable (for RS-232 communication) • ActiveSync v4.1 or higher installed on the host workstation • Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows NT (4.0 SP6 or higher) or Windows XP computer. Software Requirements for Communication To sync successfully, ActiveSync must be configured for same communication type on both the host workstation and the Dolphin terminal. ActiveSync must be setup on your workstation before you initiate synchronization from the terminal for the first time. Setting Up the Host Workstation Verify that ActiveSync is configured to use the appropriate communication type by clicking File > Connection Settings. For USB communication, check Allow USB connections. For RS-232 communication, connect to COM1. Note: You can have both USB and RS-232 selected in the software without affecting processing. However, your hardware setup should use only RS-232 or USB, not both. Dolphin® 7600 User's Guide Rev D 6 - 3 10/18/2007 Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine
