Microsoft ActiveSync ® / Windows Mobile Device Center

Microsoft ActiveSync represents the synchronization software between mobile devices and the desktop system. Under Windows Vista and later, ActiveSync is called Mobile Device Center. The software download from Microsoft is free of charge. The driver for ActiveSync can be downloaded below. The Mobile Device Center comes with its own driver or the driver can be downloaded automatically via Windows Update.

You will need ActiveSync in particular for the installation of programs and for the connection to the developing environment Microsoft Visual Studio ®. 
Apart from the automatic synchronization of the folder \MY DOCUMENTS, the software also offers the possibility of accessing the file system of the mobile equipment from PC via the Windows Explorer and of accomplishing file operations such as a copying or deletion.

Please note that you need latest service pack and patch files on your device for synchronization with Windows Vista or Windows 7.

USB Connection

The connection to ActiveSync will be started once you put the terminal into the cradle. Please pay attention to the correct setting of the operating mode switch at the back of the cradle. Under START, SETTINGS, CONTROL PANEL you will find the utility USB Connection. Choose the required connection before you put the terminal into the cradle.

Please, note: The setting for "Windows Mobile Device Center" works with ActiveSync as well, but not with LMWin. If you do not work with LMWin, but with ActiveSync and Windows Mobile Device Center in parallel, it might be a good idea to select "Windows Mobile Device Center" in general.

Bluetooth ®

You can also establish a connection to the PC via Bluetooth. The following procedures are applicable, if they are also supported by a compatible adapter on the PC:

• ActiveSync via Bluetooth Serial Port Profile
• Ftp via Bluetooth Obex Profile
• LAN via Bluetooth PAN Profile

You can find a detailed description for the use of Bluetooth in the Software Manual. In the following the connection to ActiveSync via the Serial Port Profile (Bluetooth SPP) is only outlined to demonstrate the introductive character of this manual:

• First configure the connection on the PC. Therefore permit the connection to your Bluetooth adapter in ActiveSync.
• Open the program "Bluetooth Connection" under START, SETTINGS, CONTROL PANEL.
• With default settings a survey for other Bluetooth devices in the surrounding area will take place now.
• After completion of the survey choose the required PC by double tapping on the relevant entry in the list of found devices.
• Whereupon the services supported by the remote end are listed. Hold your stylus on the icon for the serial connection for a moment.
• Choose the entry USE TO CONNECT FOR ACTIVESYNC from the context menu. Thus the connection will be assigned to ActiveSync.
• If you double tap on that entry now or in the future, the connection to ActiveSync will be made via Bluetooth.

The connection to ActiveSync will be started as soon as you double tap on to the entry for the serial communication. It is required that the communication connection in the context menu is set to ActiveSync.
Please pay attention to possibly necessary safety adjustments. You will find further information about the configuration of the mobile device in the Software Manual.
