4.3.2Networking via serial port

The TPC-1260 with built-in Windows CE supports serial connection to host computers. The host computer must install the Microsoft ActiveSync service offered by Microsoft. Use a null modem cable bundled with the TPC-1260 to connect the serial ports of the host computer and the TPC-1260. Then activate ActiveSync service on the host computer. The host will automatically scan its serial ports and make a connection.

Step 1: Make sure the Microsoft ActiveSynce service and the Microsoft embedded Visual Tools are properly installed in the host PC.

Step 2: Connect the two RS-232 ports of the host PC and the TPC- 1260 by a null modem cable.

Step 3: If users are using the Microsoft eMbedded Visual Tools to develop Windows CE application runtimes, make sure the TPC-1260 SDK provided in the TPC-1260 support CD is also properly installed in the host PC.
