Use the small nonvolatile Flash File Store region to hold CAB files that
rebuild the system at clean-boot or install applications from a CAB file
into the Flash File Store so they are “ready-to-run” when a clean-boot is
performed. Since the FLASH in the system has a limited number of
write cycles, do not use the Flash File Store for excessive writing
purposes; however, reading is okay.
Installing Applications on the Computer
Any of these options can move items to locations on your CN3:
Microsoft ActiveSync
FTP Server
Secure Digital storage cards
SmartSystems™ Console
Wavelink Avalanche
InstallSelect
This section describes each option.
Using Microsoft ActiveSync
You can use Microsoft ActiveSync to establish a connection between your
desktop and the CN3. Microsoft ActiveSync transfers files, synchronizes
files, remote debugging, and other device management activities.
See Chapter 2, “Windows Mobile for information about the Microsoft
ActiveSync application as provided by Microsoft Corporation.
This can be a USB Microsoft ActiveSync connection. Files can be copied
using Windows Explorer on a desktop or a laptop computer. This is usually
good when updating few CN3s.
These instructions assume that Microsoft ActiveSync was installed onto
your desktop and is up and running. If not, go to Chapter 2, “Windows
Mobile for an URL from which to download the latest application.
To connect your CN3 to your desktop
1 Connect your CN3 to your desktop using a USB cable. You may have to
detach, then reattach the cable to “wake the connection.
2 Wait for a “Connected” message to appear in ActiveSync to signal a
connection to the CN3. If necessary, select File > Get Connected to
initiate a connection or detach, then reattach the USB cable.
