2.Connect the USB port of the host PC and the SPC by a USB ActiveSync cable.

3.If users are using the Microsoft eMbedded Visual Tools to develop Windows® CE.NET application runtimes, make sure the SPC SDK provided in the SPC support CD is also properly installed in the host PC.

4.Click "Start/Settings/Network and Dial-up Connections"

5.Make a new connection. As the dialogue box pops out, choose the default "Direct Connection" radial button. Click "Next".

6.Select "USB Cable" from the combo box and click "Finish" to complete making new connection. It is recommended to keep the default settings of the ports connection.

7.Click “PC Connection” icon in the Control Panel. As the “PC Connection Properties” dialogue box pops up, change the connection to the newly made connection by clicking the “Change...” button.

8.If the ActiveSync service on the host PC has been activated, the above seven steps will make the SPC automatically try to connect the host, ;otherwise you can invoke "\windows\repllog.exe" to do the activesync connection.

NOTE: Users should properly install the associated USB driver on the host computer while plugging in the SPC as a USB client device at the first time.

NOTE: The USB driver--wceusbsh.inf and wceusbsh.sys--are included in SPC support CD.

NOTE: Users may also use COM ports to do ActiveSync function thru RS-232 cable.
