Getting Started

Before You Begin

Before you can successfully connect your Symbol MC1000 to your network with your PS6U1UHE, you must have successfully configured your device for ActiveSync operations. For assistance with ActiveSync operations, please refer to your Symbol Integrator Guide.

Only after you have successfully created an ActiveSync partnership between your MC1000 and your host computer, and completed an ActiveSync operation, should you attempt to connect your device to your network. This is important even if you plan to use other 3rd Party synchronization software, because using ActiveSync allows you to validate your software/hardware installation. Then, if you have problems later making your 3rd Party software work, you can focus on the 3rd Party software configuration because you know everything else works fine.

Connecting to the PS6U1UHE

Setting up the MC1000

Before you can successfully synchronize your MC1000 across your network using the PS6U1UHE USB-Host to Ethernet Adapter, you will need to confirm the following information:

That your network has an active DHCP server to provide dynamic IP addresses

If your network, or custom synchronization application, requires the use of static IP addresses, after you finish Step 5 below you will have to configure PS6U1UHE using information contained in the Cradle Manager Software User Guide. The Cradle Manager Software and the User Guide can be downloaded from www.invisioncradles.com.

Installing eConnect™ on the MC1000

The MC1000 requires the installation of eConnect™ software to enable it to communicate through your network to complete ActiveSync, or other synchronization operations. By design, the MC1000 functions as a USB client device. With the installation of this software, your MC1000 will be able to connect to your host computer using the PS6U1UHE as a USB host device for that connection.

If you have not already done so, go to www.invisioncradles.com and download the latest PS6U1UHE software. The software is provided in a self-extracting ZIP file. Simply download the file to your computer and follow these simple steps:

Step 1 – Unpack the software

Double-click the downloaded file to extract the software. The ZIP file will automatically unpack the MC1000 driver software components to a default directory called C:\MC1000 Software. You may change this directory if you wish. However, if you change the directory be sure that you remember where you put it, because this is the location where you will move the files “from.”
