ActiveSync
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 HX2 end of the cable to the connector on the bottom of the HX2.
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 HX2 loses connection (e.g., enters Suspend Mode), the connection to
ActiveSync is lost. When the HX2 resumes, disconnect the PC end of the cable and re-
connect.
Please refer to the HX2 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 WEP keys or LEAP
credentials. Please refer to the HX2 Reference Guide for information on using WPA.
1. Tap Start > Programs > Summit > SCU OR tap the Summit Client Utility
icon on the desktop.
2. Tap the Admin Login button and enter the password (default = SUMMIT).
3. Tap the Profile tab and make sure the Default profile is selected.
4. Select SSID and enter your SSID value.
5. If the access point is using WEP, select WEP from the Encryption pull down
list.
6. Tap the WEP keys/PSKs button and enter the WEP Key(s) and tap OK. Skip
to step 12.
7. If the access point is using LEAP, select LEAP from the EAP Type pull down
list.
8. Select WEP EAP from the Encryption pull down list.
9. If the Cisco/CCS certified AP is configured for open authentication, set the
Auth Type radio parameter to Open.
10. If the AP is configured for network EAP only, set the Auth Type radio
parameter to LEAP.
11. Tap the Credentials button and enter the User Name and Password.
12. Tap the Commit button to save the radio configuration.
13. Tap the Main tab. Wait for a radio connected message.
14. Tap the Admin Logout button when finished.
15. Reboot the HX2.

Please refer to the Radio Mode parameter in the HX2 Reference Guide. It is important
that this parameter setting corresponds to the Access Point to which the HX2
connects.
Setting Up AppLock
HX2 devices are shipped to boot in Administration mode. In this mode, the user has full
access to the device and no password is needed. After the administrator completes the
process below, the HX2 switches to end-user mode and restricts access to only the
specified application(s).
1. Tap Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administration icon.

configured application(s).
7. The device is now in end-user mode.
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.
1. Make sure the mobile client network settings are properly configured. If you
are connecting via WLAN (802.11x), make sure your HX2 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.
8. Upon a successful connection, the host application screen is displayed.
To change options (e.g., Display, Colors, Cursor, Barcode), please refer to the RFTerm
Reference Guide for descriptions of these and other features.
