Reset And Loss Of Host Re-Connection; Activesync Help - Honeywell Thor VM3 User Manual

•
When the Thor VM3 loses connection, e.g.: enters Suspend Mode, etc., the connection to
ActiveSync will be lost.

Reset and Loss of Host Re-connection

ActiveSync assigns a partnership between a Thor VM3 (the client) and a host computer.
A partnership is defined by two objects – a unique computer name and a random num-
ber generated when the partnership is first created. An ActiveSync partnership between
a unique client can be established to two hosts.
When the mobile device is reset (return to default settings), the random number is
deleted – and the partnership with the last one of the two hosts is also deleted. The host
retains the random numbers and unique names of all devices having a partnership with
it. Two clients cannot have a partnership with the same host if they have the same
name. (Control Panel > System > Device Name)
If the reset mobile device tries to reestablish the partnership with the same host PC, a
new random number is generated for the mobile device and ActiveSync will insist the
unique name of the mobile device be changed. If the mobile device is associated with a
second host, changing the name will destroy that partnership as well. This can cause
some confusion when re-establishing partnerships with hosts.
