Using a 4-Slot Ethernet Cradle

In order to establish a connection between the terminal and the host computer to
communicate over an Ethernet network, the following configurations must be performed:
• terminal configuration
• host computer configuration
• DHCP server configuration
• cradle configuration.

Configuring the Terminal

When you insert a terminal into the cradle, the cradle provides a direct-connect RAS
service. You need to configure each terminal for use with the cradle, just as you would
configure any remote client to connect to an Internet Service Provider (ISP). To configure
the terminal install eConnect.
Installing eConnect
eConnect is a control panel applet you may install on a terminal; it automates the launch of
a modem connection and applications, such as ActiveSync or Internet Explorer.
Download eConnect (for Pocket PC 2002) from http://devzone.symbol.com. Follow the
installation instructions included to install the software on your terminal.
Note: For additional information about installing eConnect, see
eConnect

Configuring the Host Computer

The host computer that you intend to synchronize with the terminal must be setup with the
appropriate communication software and connection settings. This manual assumes that
you are using Microsoft
computer. To configure the host computer:
1. Download and install ActiveSync. See
Note: Before communicating through an ethernet connection, you must
create a partnership between the terminal and the host computer.
