If ActiveSync 4.5 or higher/Windows Mobile Device Center is not installed on the host workstation, download the latest version
of the program from www.microsoft.com.
When communicating via ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center, your terminal is designed to be connected to the
host workstation with a communication peripheral sold/manufactured by Honeywell, such as the charge/communication
cable. Use of any peripheral not sold/manufactured by Honeywell may cause damage not covered by the warranty.
Note: If communication in ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center fails, remove the USB Communication Cable and
connect the USB Communication Cable to the host workstation again to initiate the process.

Capabilities

The following is a list of the procedures you can do with ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center:
• Back up and restore the terminal data
• Copy (rather than synchronize) files between the terminal and workstation.
• Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization mode. For example, you can synchronize continually
while connected to your workstation or only when you choose the synchronize command.
• Select which information types are synchronized, controlling how much data is synchronized. For example, you can
choose how many weeks of past appointments you want synchronized.

Communication Types

The Dolphin 6000 terminal supports the following type of communication via ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center
through its I/O Connector (see
USB The USB Communication Cable allows the terminal to communicate with a workstation or be networked through a
USB hub. The Dolphin 6000 terminal supports high-speed USB communication (USB 2.0) with maximum data transfer rate
of 480 Mbps.

Software Requirements for Communication

To synchronize successfully, ActiveSync v4.5 or higher or Windows Mobile Device Center must be configured for the same
communication type on the host workstation and Dolphin 6000 terminal.
Note: ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center must be setup on the workstation before initializing synchronization
from the terminal for the first time.
The following is a list of the supported operating systems:
• Windows XP
• 2003 Server
• Windows Vista
• Windows 7

Setting Up the Host Workstation

To synchronize data between the terminal and the workstation, ActiveSync (v4.5 or higher) or Windows Mobile Device Cen-
ter must be configured for same communication type on both the host workstation and the Dolphin terminal.

2. Check the box next to Allow USB connections.

Connecting the Dolphin Terminal to the Workstation

After setting up the workstation and the terminal:
1. Connect the Dolphin 6000 terminal to the workstation using the USB Communication cable.
2. ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center should open and connect automatically to the Dolphin terminal.

Synchronizing with the Host Workstation

The synchronization process begins automatically after setup, if ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center has been
installed on the host workstation and the workstation has been connected to the terminal.
