Bluetooth and Thor VM2
Please refer to the Thor VM2 Reference Guide for
information when using the Thor VM2 with Bluetooth.
ActiveSync (CE 6.0 only)
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 Thor VM2 end of the USB cable to
the USB port on the back of the Thor VM2 Quick
Mount Smart Dock.
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 Thor VM2 loses connection (e.g., enters
Suspend Mode), the connection to ActiveSync will be
temporarily lost. When the Thor VM2 resumes, the
ActiveSync session will automatically re-connect.
Please refer to the Thor VM2 Reference Guide for
ActiveSync information.

Setting Up the Radio
If the access point uses an authentication protocol
(WEP, LEAP, etc.), your radio must use the same
authentication. Please contact your IT department for

WPA.

tap the Summit Client Utility icon on the

WEP Key(s) and tap OK. Skip to step 12.

from the EAP Type pull down list.
8. Select WEP EAP from the Encryption pull down
list.

open authentication, set the Auth Type radio
parameter to Open.

the Auth Type radio parameter to LEAP.

Connecting Using RFTerm
Before you make a host connection, you will, at a
minimum, need to know:
lthe alias name or IP address (Host Address)
and
lthe 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 Thor VM2
is connected to the network.
2. Launch RFTerm by tapping the RFTerm icon
on the desktop.
3. Select Session > Configure from the
application menu and select the host type. This
is dependent on the host system to which you
are connecting; i.e., 3270 mainframe, AS/400
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.
5. Update the telnet port number if your host
application is configured to listen on a specific
port. If not, use the default telnet port.
6. Select OK.
7. Select Session > Connect from the application
menu or tap the Connect button on the Tool
Bar.
