Networking via serial port

The TPC-1260 with built-in Windows CE supports serial connection to
host computers. The host computer must install the Microsoft
ActiveSync service offered by Microsoft. Use a null modem cable
bundled with the TPC-1260 to connect the serial ports of the host
computer and the TPC-1260. Then activate ActiveSync service on the
host computer. The host will automatically scan its serial ports and
make a connection.

Step 1:

Make sure the Microsoft ActiveSynce service and the

Microsoft embedded Visual Tools are properly installed in
the host PC.

Step 2:

Connect the two RS-232 ports of the host PC and the TPC-

1260 by a null modem cable.

Step 3:

If users are using the Microsoft eMbedded Visual Tools to

develop Windows CE application runtimes, make sure the
TPC-1260 SDK provided in the TPC-1260 support CD is also
properly installed in the host PC.
