2.8. DIRECT DATA CONNECTION
“Direct” data connection means “hardwired” data connection between the mobile computer
and a Windows-based PC as opposed to wireless connection. Direct data connection relies
on a RS-232 cable or a USB cable (sometimes plus an auxiliary cradle) between the two
mentioned devices. Once the mobile computer and PC are “directly” connected with each
other by a RS-232 or USB-cable, they can sync data with each other.
2.8.1. USE CABLE
Direct data connection using a cable:
1) Connect the mobile computer to your PC with a USB or RS-232 type Snap-on Charging
and Communication Cable. Fix the cable to both sides.
ActiveSync will automatically detect connection between the two and prompt for data
synchronization.
See Syncing Tools
and subsequent sections to know how to use ActiveSync.
