Serial/USB Communication

This section provides information on installing the appropriate serial/USB communication software and setting up
the appropriate accessory to enable serial/USB communication between the mobile computer and the host device.
The mobile computer is capable of communicating with a number of hosts, including development computers,
serial devices, printers, etc. The communication accessories serve as data communication devices, enabling the
information on the mobile computer to be synchronized with the information on the host device using ActiveSync.
With the appropriate accessory and software, the mobile computer can establish a serial connection or a USB
connection.
For a serial or USB connection, use one of the following:
•
Single Slot Serial/USB cradle
•
MC3000 Communication/Charge cables.

Installing Serial/USB Communication Software

To successfully communicate with various host devices communication software, such as Microsoft ActiveSync
(version 3.7 or higher) must be installed on the host computer. See
installation procedures.

Communication Setup

The communication setup procedures for the Single Slot Serial/USB cradle and the MC3000
Communication/Charge cables are provided in this section as an example. The serial communication setup
procedures are provided in, Serial Communication Setup on page 2-30 and the USB setup procedures are
provided in, USB Connection Setup on page 2-34.

Serial Communication Setup

The serial communication setup is used to set up to communicate between the host and the mobile computer using
either a Single Slot Serial/USB cradle or using one of the serial MC3000 Communication/Charge cables.
NOTE For serial communication using the Single Slot Serial/USB cradle, connect only the serial cable, do not
connect both the serial cable and the USB cable. If both serial and USB communication cables are required,
the host computer USB port must be disabled in ActiveSync before serial communication can be enabled.
