CONNECTING TO OTHER COMPUTERS

To connect the Lynx to another device (i.e. Host PC) which run Windows, several
programs are available. These programs require specific electrical connections in
order to function properly.
4.7.1 Windows Mobile® Device Center
The desktop application Windows Mobile® Device Center gives you the ability to
synchronize information between a desktop computer and your Lynx.
Synchronization compares the data on the Lynx with that on the desktop
computer and updates both with the most recent information.
Windows Mobile® Device Center is only compatible with Windows Vista and
Windows 7; if you run Windows XP or earlier, you have to download Microsoft
ActiveSync.
You can establish a connection to your Lynx through the following interfaces:
−
USB either directly or through the Single Dock
−
RS232 either directly (through the Datalogic 94A051972 HandyLink™ cable) or
through the Single Dock
−
Bluetooth® (see par. 4.7.2)
To establish a partnership between the Lynx and a host PC, start Windows Mobile®
Device Center and follow the steps below:
1. Connect the Lynx to the host PC. Windows Mobile® Device Center configures
itself and then opens.
2. On the license agreement screen, click Accept.
3. On the Windows Mobile® Device Center's Home screen, click Set up your
device.
4. Select the information types that you want to synchronize, then click Next.
5. Enter a device name and click Set Up.
When you finish the setup wizard, Windows Mobile® Device Center synchronizes the
PDA automatically. Microsoft® Office Outlook® emails and other information will
appear on your device after synchronization.
