Installing the USB Drivers
for the Data Collector You can communicate between the Dynamix 2500 data collector and your
computer by installing specific USB driver files and communication software. If
you want to load and unload routes to your data collector you must install
Microsoft ActiveSync software and the USB drivers.

When using Microsoft Windows 2000 or Windows XP, use the ActiveSync
software to communicate through the USB connection. You can download the
ActiveSync software from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads . Follow the instructions on the website
to download and install ActiveSync software.
When using Microsoft Windows 7, use the Mobile Device Center software. You
can download the Mobile Device Center software from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads .
Follow the instructions on the website to download and install the Mobile Device
Center software.
TIP We recommend that you use ActiveSync software version 4.5 or later
