PA966/967 User's Manual
Changing Communications Settings
If Microsoft ActiveSync fails to detect the PA966 during installation, set up communications manually instead. Make sure the following conditions are met:
•Verify that the correct communications port is selected for your desktop computer and that it is free.
•Microsoft ActiveSync uses the specified communication ports to connect to the PA966. Make sure these resources are available for Microsoft ActiveSync to connect to the PA966. Other programs cannot use them while the PA966 and your desktop computer are connected.
•Set your baud rate on the PA966 - the desktop computer will match it.
To check communications settings, open the Mobile Devices folder, and click File / Connection Settings. The baud rate on the PA966 is set to 57600bps by default. To adjust the baud rate, tap Start, Settings, Control Panel, select the Communication icon, select the PC Connection tab, and then tap the Change Connection… button.
