Connecting And Synchronizing The Terminal And Workstation - Honeywell Dolphin 70e Black User Manual

Connecting and Synchronizing the Terminal and Workstation

To synchronize data between the terminal and the workstation, ActiveSync (version 4.5 or higher) or
Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC) must be installed and configured for the appropriate communi-
cation type on the host workstation (Windows-based PC) and the Dolphin terminal. Dolphin terminals
ship with ActiveSync already installed. Therefore, if ActiveSync or WMDC is already installed on the host
workstation, you just need to connect the Dolphin terminal to the host workstation (via Dolphin
peripheral) to initiate communication.
If ActiveSync (4.5 or higher) or WMDC is not installed on the host workstation, you can download and
install the most current version of the software from the

Note: ActiveSync on your Dolphin terminal works with WMDC on host workstations running Windows Vista or
Windows 7 and with ActiveSync on host workstations running Windows XP. For detailed information on
ActiveSync and WMDC visit the
When communicating via ActiveSync or WMDC, your terminal is designed to be connected to the host
workstation with a communication peripheral sold/manufactured by Honeywell, such as the charge/
communication cable. Use of any peripheral not sold/manufactured by Honeywell may cause damage not
covered by the warranty.
Capabilities
• Back up and restore your device data.
• Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your device and workstation.
• Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization mode. For example, you can
synchronize continually while connected to your workstation or only when you choose the synchronize
command.
• Select which information types are synchronized, controlling how much data is synchronized. For
example, you can choose how many weeks of past appointments you want synchronized.
Communication Types
The Dolphin 70e Black terminal supports Hi-Speed USB communication (USB 2.0) via ActiveSync
through the The I/O Connector
(see page 3-6) on the right side panel of the terminal. The maximum data transfer rate is 480 Mbps. A
USB cable and/or a Honeywell hardware peripheral (e.g., HomeBase) allow the terminal to communicate
with a workstation or to be networked through a USB hub. The Dolphin terminal defaults to USB commu-
nication out of the box.
Hardware Requirements for Setup
• HomeBase, power supply (shipped with HomeBase) and a USB cable if one is not supplied with your
Dolphin communication peripheral
OR
• The USB charge/communication cable (70e-USB) provided with your Dolphin terminal.
Software Requirements for Communication
• ActiveSync (v4.5 or higher) or Windows Mobile Device Center installed and configured on the host
workstation (PC), see
Note: ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center must be setup on your workstation before you initiate
synchronization from the terminal for the first time.
