Linking A WORKABOUT PRO G2 To An Ethernet Network
To link the WORKABOUT PRO G2 to a PC:
• Insert the hand-held in the desktop docking station.
• Insert the USB cable into the docking station Client USB connector. Attach
the other end of the cable to a USB port on the PC.
You’ll need to install connectivity software on your PC before you can pass
information between the hand-held and the PC.
6.4.7.1 Using Microsoft ActiveSync To Work With Files
ActiveSync®–Microsoft PC connectivity software–can be used to connect the
WORKABOUT PRO G2 to PCs running this software. You’ll be able to:
• View WORKABOUT PRO G2 files from Windows Explorer.
• Drag and drop files between the WORKABOUT PRO G2 and the PC in the
same way that you would between PC drives.
• Back up WORKABOUT PRO G2 files to the PC, then restore them from
the PC to the hand-held again, if needed, and so on.
You can use the Getting Started CD included with your WORKABOUT PRO G2 to
install ActiveSync.
6.4.8 Linking A WORKABOUT PRO G2 To An Ethernet Network
An USB-Ethernet adaptor cable – model number WA4010-G1 – is used to connect
the WORKABOUT PRO G2 to an Ethernet network through a desktop docking
station.
• Insert the adaptor’s USB connector into the Host USB port on the desktop
docking station.
• Connect your network Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the adaptor
cable.
6.4.8.1 Network Access
The hand-held unit automatically detects insertion into the desktop dock and loads
the appropriate drivers to communicate with the USB-Ethernet converters.
Network Addressing
The host application uses standard TCP/IP protocol to name, locate and
communicate with a specific WORKABOUT PRO G2 on the network.
