USE AND OPERATION

3.8 MICROSOFT® ACTIVESYNC®

Microsoft® ActiveSync® gives you the possibility to connect your desktop computer to your

Rhino-NET™ terminal and synchronize the information on them. Synchronization compares

the data on the Rhino-NET™ terminal with that on the desktop computer and updates both

computers with the most recent information.

With ActiveSync, it is possible to:

- Back up and restore Rhino-NET™ terminal data.

- Copy files between Rhino-NET™ terminal and desktop computer.

- Synchronize files by selecting a synchronization mode.

It is possible to constantly synchronize while connected to a desktop computer or,

alternatively, synchronization can be performed only when the synchronize command is

chosen. You can select which information types are synchronized and control how much

data is synchronized.

By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types of

information. Use ActiveSync options to turn synchronization on and off for

specific information types.

NOTE

For example:

Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between the Rhino-NET™ terminal

and the desktop computer. The files will automatically be converted to the correct format.

You can establish a connection using a serial cable to the Rhino-NET™ COM1 port.

information, and samples:

NOTE

Before a connection can be established, install ActiveSync on a desktop computer from the

Windows® CE SDK for Datalogic terminals CD-ROM.

After installation is completed, the ActiveSync Setup Wizard helps establish connection of

the Rhino-NET™ terminal to the desktop computer by looking for your device on the serial

connection. By default the Rhino-NET™ terminal does not make an automatic connection.

The best (recommended) way to work with ActiveSync is to enable the auto-connection

settings.
