ActiveSync
Installing ActiveSync on Desktop/Laptop
ActiveSync (version 4.5 or higher for Windows XP
desktop/laptop computers) must be resident on the
host (desktop/laptop) computer. Windows Mobile
Device Center is required for a Windows
Vista/Windows 7 desktop/laptop computer. ActiveSync
and Windows Mobile Device Center for the PC are
available from the Microsoft website. Follow Microsoft's
instructions to locate, download and install ActiveSync
or Windows Mobile Device Center on your
desktop/laptop.

ActiveSync using USB-Client Connection
The only connection type is USB Client.
1. Connect the MX8 end of the USB cable to the
I/O port on the bottom of the MX8.
2. Connect the USB type A connector on the I/O
cable to a USB port on a PC or laptop.
ActiveSync starts automatically when the USB cable is
connected.
When the MX8 loses connection (e.g., enters Suspend
Mode), the connection to ActiveSync is lost. When the
MX8 resumes, disconnect the PC end of the cable and
re-connect.
Please refer to the MX8 Reference Guide for
ActiveSync information.

minimum, need to know:
l
the alias name or IP address (Host Address)
and
l
the port number (Telnet Port) of the host system
to properly set up your host session.

are properly configured. If you are connecting
via WLAN (802.11x), make sure your MX8 is
connected to the network.
2. Launch RFTerm by tapping the RFTerm icon
on the desktop.

is dependent on the host system to which you

5250 server or VT host.
4. Enter the Host Address of the system. This
may either be a DNS name or an IP address of
the host system.

application is configured to listen on a specific
port. If not, use the default telnet port.
