Configuring With Hsm Connect; Install Hsm Connect - Honeywell MX8 User Manual

Configuring with HSM Connect

HSM Connect allows a user to view the MX8 screen remotely from a PC using an ActiveSync connection:
Requirement : ActiveSync (version 4.5 or higher for Windows XP host computers) must be resident on the host (desktop/laptop)
computer. Windows Mobile Device Center is required for a Windows Vista or higher host computer. ActiveSync/Windows Mobile
Device Center for the host computer is available from the Microsoft website. Follow their instructions to locate, download and
install ActiveSync/Windows Mobile Device Center on your host computer.
Note: For readability in this section, ActiveSync will be used in instructions and explanations. If you have a Windows Vista or
greater operating system on your host computer, replace ActiveSync with Windows Mobile Device Center.
ActiveSync is already installed on the MX8. HSM Connect is available for download from the Getting Started Disc. The MX8 is
preconfigured to establish a USB ActiveSync connection to a PC when the proper cable is attached to the MX8 and the PC.
If the MX8 uses a serial port for ActiveSync, it will be necessary to configure the MX8 to use the serial port.

Install HSM Connect

1. Install Microsoft ActiveSync on a PC with a USB port.
2. Power up the MX8.
3. Connect the MX8 to the PC using the proper connection cable. Once connected, the ActiveSync dialog box appears. If
using the USB connection, the ActiveSync connection is automatically established. If using a serial connection, it is
necessary to initiate the connection from the MX8.
4. Select "No" for partnership when prompted. Dismiss any ActiveSync dialog boxes warning a partnership is not set up. It
is not necessary to establish a partnership to use HSM Connect. However, if a partnership is desired for other reasons,
one may be established now. More details on partnerships are included in ActiveSync Help.
5. When the ActiveSync screen appears, select Explore.
6. An explorer window is displayed for the MX8. Browse to the \System\HSM Connect folder. HSM Connect is available on
the Getting Started Disc.
