Appendix B Using iDockIt

Introduction

iDockIt™ manages activities that can occur when the MC9190-G is connected to a host computer using a cradle
(Ethernet, modem, serial or USB) or a USB or a serial cable. iDockIt can enable the MC9190-G to connect
automatically to a host computer, network, or the Internet and then exchange information or launch an application.
Use iDockIt to configure settings for each type of connection.
This appendix provides information for configuring iDockIt on an MC9190-G running Windows Mobile 6.5 or
Windows CE 6.0.
General options include:
• enabling or disabling iDockIt; if enabled, keeps iDockIt running in the background.
• displaying status and cradle settings the MC9190-G is placed in a cradle.
• defining whether iDockIt should wait before connecting or reconnecting the MC9190-G to the host computer
or network and if waiting, the number of seconds to delay.
• disabling specific error messages.
Connection-specific options include:
launching Microsoft ActiveSync to synchronize with a host computer.
•
• establishing a connection to a network.
• launching an application after establishing a network connection.
• establishing a connection via a specified modem.
NOTE iDockIt settings and options control cradle events only while iDockIt is running.
Do not use ActiveSync 4.5 or later to synchronize data between a host computer and a Windows CE based
device through an Ethernet cradle.
