Transferring Files
To transfer files start Microsoft® ActiveSync on the Host PC by selecting Start>Programs>Microsoft ActiveSync. An icon will be put into the
system tray.
Connect the iDLMax to the Host PC via the USB Cable and switch the iDLMax on. ActiveSync will detect the iDLMax and establish a connection.
When a connection is successfully established, the ActiveSync icon in the system tray will turn green like so.
To browse the files and folders on the iDLMax: on the Host PC, right-click on the green ActiveSync icon and select Explore. A window will then be
opened showing the files and folder on then iDLMax. One can now browse the folders, as one would normally do on in Windows Explorer. Files
can now be copied between the iDLMax and the Host PC.
To terminate the connection simply disconnect the USB Cable between the two devices.
USB
The USB connection allows the various USB peripheral devices to be connected to the iDLMax via a USB cable. The iDLMax acts as the USB host
device for the peripheral device connected to it.
For any peripheral device to be connected, ensure that Microsoft ® Windows CE 5.0 drivers is available for the specific peripheral device and that it
is correctly installed onto the iDLMax as required by the manufacturer/supplier of such peripheral device (in most cases it would be required for such
drivers or installation file to be loaded or at least copied onto the iDLMax prior to connecting the peripheral device to the iDLMax).
Note that drivers for a standard external Keyboard or Mouse are included in the default operating system supplied with the
iDLMax (no additional driver installation would be required)
