ActiveSync Communication
To synchronize, ActiveSync 4.1 or higher must be installed and configured for the appropriate
communication type on the host workstation and the Handy Terminal. Handy Terminals ship with
ActiveSync already installed. Therefore, if ActiveSync is already installed on the host workstation,
you just need to connect the Handy Terminal to the host workstation (via Handy Terminal
peripheral) to initiate communication.
☞NOTE:
You can download the most current version of ActiveSync (for Windows XP) or Windows Mobile Device
Center (Windows Vista, 7) from
www.microsoft.com.
WARNING:
When communicating via ActiveSync, your terminal is designed to be connected to the host
workstation with a Toshiba_Tec communication peripheral. We recommend use of Pointmobile peripherals, power
cables, and power adapters. Use of any non-Pointmobile peripherals, cables, or power adapters may cause damage
not covered by the warranty.
