Overview
The iDL3ID has a physical USB connection and two wireless communications options viz. Wi-Fi 802.11b and GSM/GPRS. The use of each depends
largely on the application and location of the user.
This chapter contains info on setting up and using the communications channels.
USB
The USB connection allows the iDL3ID to be connected to a Host PC via the USB cable provided so that files can be transferred and synchronised
between the Host PC and the iDL3ID. NB. The iDL3ID acts as the USB slave device when connected to a PC as described.
At all times – It is best to switch off the iDL3ID before connecting the USB cable.
Microsoft® ActiveSync
Microsoft® ActiveSync is a tool that enables file transfer and synchronisation. The iDL3ID is delivered with the latest version of ActiveSync loaded. If
ActiveSync is already installed on the intended Host PC, please ensure that the version is V3.8 or higher.
To install Microsoft® ActiveSync, the installation files must be downloaded from the Microsoft® website, www.microsoft.com/downloads/.
Install ActiveSync by running the installation file downloaded. After the required files are extracted and copied to the PC the installation wizard will
run and the following window will be presented.
Click next to proceed with the installation.
The next window presented will give one the option of changing the installation folder and displays the hard drive space available and required for
the installation.
Click next to proceed.

Click Cancel to complete the installation.
iDL3ID USB Drivers
Before connecting to the iDL3ID via ActiveSync the USB drivers for the iDL3ID must be installed on the Host PC first. From the CD ROM (or
otherwise as obtained from your product/service provided), copy the files wceusbsh.inf and wceusbsh.sys to any convenient folder on the Host
PC.
