Handheld PC. Microsoft ActiveSync 3.7 and later. RAM and Hard Disk Space Requirements 64 MB of RAM (recommended) 16 MB of hard disk space (minimum) Hardware (Required) StrongARM, XScale or compatible processor (hardware must be supported by Microsoft for the operating system being used) Hardware (Optional) Serial cable for uploading and downloading data. Microsoft ActiveSync Microsoft® ActiveSync® provides support for synchronizing data between a Windows-based desktop computer and Microsoft® Windows® CE based portable devices. Microsoft ActiveSync 3.7.1 supports Microsoft Windows 98 (including Second Edition), Windows NT Workstation 4.0 SP 6, Microsoft Windows ME, Windows 2000 Professional Edition, and Windows XP.Before you can install Carlson GIS-CE, your desktop PC must have Microsoft ActiveSync installed and running. If you do not have ActiveSync installed, insert the Carlson GIS-CE CD-ROM and choose “Install ActiveSync”. You may also choose to download the latest version from Microsoft. After the ActiveSync installation starts, follow the prompts. If you need more assistance to install ActiveSync, visit Microsoft’s web site for the latest install details. You should have a serial cable that was included with your mobile device. Attach this cable from your desktop PC to the mobile device. Auto Connection If the default settings are correct, ActiveSync should automatically connect to the mobile device. When you see a dialog on the mobile device that asks you if you want to connect, press Yes. Troubleshooting If you cannot get connected, make sure that no other program is “using” the COM port. Programs to check for include any Fax/Modem software and other data transfer software. If you see anything you think may be “using” the COM port, shut it down and retry the connection with ActiveSync. Enabling Com Port Communication for ActiveSync on Allegro, Panasonic Toughbook 01 and other CE devices In order for ActiveSync to communicate, it may be necessary to direct the CE device to utilize the Com port as a default. Some may come set default to USB. Go to Start (on Allegro, blue key and Start button), then Settings, then Control Panel, then Communications icon, then PC Connection. Set to Com1 at a high baud rate, such as 57,600 baud. This will download programs and files at a high rate of speed. On the Allegro, use PC Link to connect to PC with ActiveSync. On the Panasonic Toughbook, do Start, Run, and in the Open window, type in “autosync –go” (autosync then spacebar then “minus” go). Then do Start, Settings, Control Panel, Communications, do PC Connection, Change Connection to Serial Port @ 115K. Make sure “Enable direct connections to the desktop computer” is checked. Note: When using GIS-CE’s Data Transfer option, you will need to disable Serial Port Connection (click off Allow Serial Cable). This is done with Connection Settings in ActiveSync. Click back on to use ActiveSync. Installing GIS-CE 6 Before you install Carlson GIS-CE, close all running applications on the mobile device. 1. Connect the mobile device to the desktop PC and ensure that the ActiveSync connection is made. 2. Insert the CD into the CD-ROM drive on the desktop PC. If Autorun is enabled, the startup program begins. The startup program lets you choose the version of GIS-CE to install.
