Changing Communications Settings

If Microsoft ActiveSync fails to detect the PA970 during installation, set up communications manually
instead. Make sure the following conditions are met:
• Verify that the correct communications port is selected for your desktop computer and that it is
free.
• Microsoft ActiveSync uses the specified communication ports to connect to the PA970. Make
sure these resources are available for Microsoft ActiveSync to connect to the PA970. Other
programs cannot use them while the PA970 and your desktop computer are connected.
• Set your baud rate on the PA970 - the desktop computer will match it.
To check communications settings, open the Mobile
Devices folder, and click File / Connection Settings.
The baud rate on the PA970 is set to 57600bps by
default. To adjust the baud rate, tap Start, Settings,
Control Panel, select the Communication icon, select
the PC Connection tab, and then tap the Change
Connection... button.
For more information see Microsoft ActiveSync Help.
To change the terminal's default baud rate or to use IrDA to communicate
with the Host PC, follow the steps below to make modifications:
1. Tap Start, Settings, Control Panel, Communications
2. Tap the PC Connection tab
3. Tap the Change Connection button
4. Select the baud rate from the list box
