Exploring the Terminal from the Workstation

When the terminal and desktop computer are connected, open the main ActiveSync window (on the desktop), and click Explore.

The Mobile Device folder opens in Windows Explorer.

The Dolphin terminal is now treated as a mass storage device, and transferring files is as simple as dragging and dropping or copying and pasting as you would for moving files between folders on your hard drive.

Adding Programs via ActiveSync

!When selecting programs, verify that the program and version of the program are designed for the Windows CE 5.0 and the terminal’s processor. You can verify your processor by tapping Start > Settings > Control Panel > System > General tab. Make a note of the information in the Processor field.

Generally, software for Windows CE devices must be installed to the host workstation first, then transferred to the Dolphin terminal.

1.Download the program to the workstation from either the Internet or the install CD. You may see a single *.exe or setup.exe file, a *.cab file, or *.dll. (There may also be several versions of files for dif- ferent device types and processors.)

2.Read any installation instructions, Read Me files, or documentation that comes with the program. Many programs provide special installation instructions.

3.Connect the terminal to the workstation via a Dolphin communication peripheral.
