Connecting the Serial PC Connect Cable

Before installing Microsoft ActiveSync, use the following procedure to
connect the optional serial PC Connect cable to both your MobilePro
and to your host PC.
Locate and open the serial port cover on the left side of your

MobilePro (see the following figure).
Go to Start, Settings, Control Panel.
Double click the System icon, select the Hardware tab, and
select the Device Manager button.
Check the Ports listing to determine if any conflicts exist
(another device is assigned to or using the serial port). The
port may be flagged with an exclamation point, for example,
if any conflicts exist.
If another device is assigned to or is using the serial port, you
must reassign the device to free up the serial port for
MobilePro synchronization.
Make certain the port is communicating at 115k.
