Activesync Communication - Honeywell Dolphin 6510 User Manual

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 Dolphin terminal. Dolphin terminals ship with
ActiveSync already installed. Therefore, if ActiveSync is already installed on the host workstation, you just
need to connect the Dolphin terminal to the host workstation (via Dolphin peripheral) to initiate
communication.
Note: You can download the most current version of ActiveSync from www.microsoft.com.
When communicating via ActiveSync, your terminal is designed to be connected to the host workstation with
a Honeywell communication peripheral. We recommend use of Honeywell peripherals, power cables, and
power adapters. Use of any non-Honeywell peripherals, cables, or power adapters may cause damage not
covered by the warranty.

Software Requirements for Communication
To sync successfully, ActiveSync must be configured for the same communication type on both the host
workstation and the Dolphin terminal. ActiveSync must be setup on your workstation before you initiate
synchronization from the terminal for the first time.
Setting Up the Host Workstation
Verify that ActiveSync is configured to use the appropriate communication type by clicking File >
Connection Settings.
For USB communication, check Allow USB connections.
The USB cable and hardware peripherals allow the Dolphin terminal to communicate with
a workstation through a USB port or to a network through a USB hub. The Dolphin terminal
supports high-speed USB communication (USB 2.0); maximum data transfer rate is 480
Mbps. The Dolphin terminal defaults to USB communication out of the box.
