B - 2 MC9190-G Integrator Guide

General Recommendations

The MC9190-G should not be placed in a cradle or connected when the host computer to which it is physically
connected is started or restarted. If the MC9190-G is cradled when the host computer is started or restarted, the
MC9190-G attempts to connect before ActiveSync has fully loaded and a proper connection is impossible. Follow
these general guidelines for avoiding connection problems:
Connect only one MC9190-G to the host computer at a time. (More than one serial cable/cradle or USB
•
cable/cradle can be connected simultaneously.)
• When starting or restarting the host computer, wait for the start process to finish completely before placing
the MC9190-G in a cradle. When cradled, it is able to make the connection defined in iDockIt settings.
If the MC9190-G was connected to the host computer when the host computer was started, remove the
•
MC9190-G from the cradle, restart the host computer, and then return the MC9190-G to the cradle.
• Performing a warm boot on the MC9190-G can be useful. Remove the MC9190-G from the cradle before
performing a warm boot. Restart iDockIt and then recradle the MC9190-G.
• For additional information, refer to Microsoft ActiveSync Help on your host computer.

Prepare the MC9190-G To Connect

When using Microsoft ActiveSync, first established a partnership between the MC9190-G and the host computer.
This should occur the first time the MC9190-G is placed in a cradle. If using an Ethernet cradle, first set up the
partnership with the host computer using a serial or USB cable or cradle.
