Installing DetectoidPC

The DetectoidPC.exe file is located in the \Utilities\PC directory on the user’s CD that is shipped with the Dolphin terminal. Users may run the executable right from the CD-ROM, or they can copy it to their machine.

System requirements for installing DetectoidPC on your PC are:

Operating system: Windows 98, 2000, or XP

Free disk space: Less than one megabyte

DetectoidPC is included with Dolphin 7400 and 7450 terminals using kernel 2.08 with Service Pack 2 or kernel 2.11 or later; and Dolphin 7300 terminals with kernel 3.02 or later.

Using DetectoidPC and DetectoidCE

Use DetectoidPC to configure the ActiveSync settings on your PC for communication with a Dolphin terminal. Detectoid PC sets the baud rate and configures the COM port for ActiveSync. Once the settings are configured, you can save them and your PC is always ready to connect with the Dolphin terminal.

Before starting, ensure that your Dolphin is connected via serial cable or docked in a working HomeBase or IntelliBase. If ActiveSync is detected to be running on the PC when DetectoidPC is started, the following message will appear:
