Getting Started

Before You Begin

Before you can successfully connect your Symbol MC1000 to your network
with your PS6U1UHE, you must have successfully configured your device for
ActiveSync operations. For assistance with ActiveSync operations, please refer
to your Symbol Integrator Guide.

Only after you have successfully created an ActiveSync partnership between
your MC1000 and your host computer, and completed an ActiveSync
operation, should you attempt to connect your device to your network. This is
important even if you plan to use other 3

rd

Party synchronization software,

because using ActiveSync allows you to validate your software/hardware
installation. Then, if you have problems later making your 3

rd

Party software

work, you can focus on the 3

rd

Party software configuration because you know

everything else works fine.

Connecting to the PS6U1UHE

Setting up the MC1000

Before you can successfully synchronize your MC1000 across your network using the
PS6U1UHE USB-Host to Ethernet Adapter, you will need to confirm the following
information:

That your network has an active DHCP server to provide dynamic IP addresses

If your network, or custom synchronization application, requires the use of
static IP addresses, after you finish Step 5 below you will have to configure
PS6U1UHE using information contained in the Cradle Manager Software User
Guide. The Cradle Manager Software and the User Guide can be downloaded

from

.

Installing eConnect™ on the MC1000

The MC1000 requires the installation of eConnect™ software to enable it to communicate
through your network to complete ActiveSync, or other synchronization operations. By
design, the MC1000 functions as a USB client device. With the installation of this software,
your MC1000 will be able to connect to your host computer using the PS6U1UHE as a USB
host device for that connection.
