The connection type must be changed to Serial 1 @ 57600.

To change the connection type select

Start > Settings > Control Panel > PC Connection

Tap the Change button. From the popup list, choose

Serial 1 @ 57600

This will set up the mobile device to use the serial port. Tap OK and ensure the check box for “Allow connection with desktop computer when device is attached” is checked.

Tap OK to return to the Control Panel. If desired, any control panel windows may be closed.

Select Start > Settings > Scanner and ensure the integrated scanner is set to a port that is NOT the same as the ActiveSync port.

Connect the correct cable to the PC (the host) and the mobile device (the client). Select “Connect” from the Start Menu on the client (Start > Programs > Communications > Connect).

Note: Run “Connect” when the “Get Connected” wizard on the host PC is checking COM ports to establish a connection for the first time.
