8 Managing Data You can copy, move, rename, delete files and folders directly on your unit. You can transfer files from your unit to a USB memory key or a computer. You can also transfer data from a storage device or a computer to your unit. Your unit is equipped with the following ports and devices for data transfer: Two USB 2.
Managing Data Transferring Data via Bluetooth® To manage files or folders on your unit only: From the Home screen, select File Manager. To transfer files or folders between your unit and a USB memory key: Use the Data Mover application to easily transfer files and folders to a USB memory key (see Transferring Files with the Data Mover Application on page 105).
Managing Data Transferring Data via Bluetooth® Configuring the Computer To communicate via Bluetooth®, your unit uses mobile device services, which means that Mobile Device Center (Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8), or ActiveSync (Windows XP) must be installed on your computer. You can download and install the required application from the Microsoft Web site: ActiveSync for Windows XP: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.
Managing Data Transferring Data via Bluetooth® Pairing Devices with Your Unit After the computer that you intend to use has been properly configured, you can pair (associate) it with your unit. Once a device has been paired successfully with your unit, it remains paired (that is, ready for data transfer) as long as you do not remove the pairing yourself.
Managing Data Transferring Data via Bluetooth® The icon, displayed in the title bar, indicates the status of the Bluetooth® connection. The following table shows the possibilities: Icon Meaning Grey The Wi-Fi and Bluetooth® module is enabled, but no pairing and no choice of mobile service has been made. Blue At least one Bluetooth® device has been paired successfully with your unit. Not visible Unit is not equipped with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth® option.
Managing Data Transferring Data via Bluetooth® IMPORTANT To avoid problems, always initiate the pairing from your unit (not from the Bluetooth® devices). To pair devices with your unit: 1. On your unit, from the Home screen, tap Configuration. 2. Tap Devices and Utilities. 3. Tap Bluetooth Configuration. Note: The Bluetooth Configuration icon is only visible on units that support wireless communication, and that are equipped with the optional wireless module. 4.

9 Accessing Your Unit Remotely You can access your unit remotely from a computer using the TightVNC Client application. The table below presents the characteristics of this application. Characteristic TightVNC Client Type of connection Not exclusive; several users can be connected to the unit at the same time (sharing the same session). Password-protected Yes; but not mandatory. For a more secure connection, you can define a password on the VNC Server from the VNC Server Properties window.
Accessing Your Unit Remotely The control of your unit with TightVNC requires the VNC Server (already installed on your unit) and the TightVNC Client Viewer (that you must install on your computer). The first time you start the VNC Server on your unit, you may want to define a connection password for increased security. This is not mandatory; you can also configure the VNC Server to allow connections without authentication.
Accessing Your Unit Remotely Configuring the VNC Server Configuring the VNC Server The VNC Server is already installed on your unit. By default, the server is configured to accept secured connections only. This means that you must configure a password before establishing a connection between a computer and your unit. However, you can modify the desired type of connection if you prefer not to be prompted for a password. You can also modify other connection settings to better suit your needs.
Accessing Your Unit Remotely Configuring the VNC Server 2. From the VNC toolbar, tap Server Configuration. 3. Select the option that best suits your needs. 114 If you do not want to be prompted for a password when you connect with TightVNC, select No Authentication.
