Setting Up the Terminal

When communicating via ActiveSync, your terminal is designed to be connected to the host workstation with

!a Honeywell communication peripheral. We recommend use of Honeywell peripherals, power cables, and power adapters. Use of any non-Honeywell peripherals, cables, or power adapters may cause damage not covered by the warranty.

You need to connect the Dolphin peripheral to the host workstation, then connect the Dolphin terminal to the peripheral. ActiveSync should attempt to connect automatically and self-configure to RS-232 or USB. Dolphin terminals default to USB communication.

Verify the connection setting on the Dolphin terminal by tapping Start > Programs > ActiveSync > Menu

>Connections.
USB

The default workstation synchronization value for USB communication is ‘USB

 

Connection.
RS-232

The default workstation synchronization value for RS-232 communication ‘115200 Default.

Synchronizing with the Host Workstation

After setup, synchronization begins automatically whenever the terminal’s I/O connector connects to a Dolphin peripheral that is connected to a host workstation with ActiveSync installed.

Note: If you have a wireless LAN card, you can also synchronize remotely.

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 Windows Mobile 5.0 and your processor. You can verify your processor by tapping Start > Settings > System tab > About > Version tab. Make a note of the information in the Processor field.

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