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.
