7535 Hardware Reference Guide 45
Chapter 4: Connecting
Overview
4.1 Overview
This chapter provides connection information specific to the 7535, for connecting to
the device through the following methods:
• USB serial link. See section 4.2 on page 46.
• Bluetooth short-range wireless link. See section 4.3 on page 48.
The ActiveSync software from Microsoft can be used to establish communication
with the device, once the physical connection has been made.
Once an ActiveSync connection has been made over a USB serial link, ActiveSync
can be used over a wireless connection such as Bluetooth. Software can then be
deployed as described in the Developers’ Guide.
4.1.1 Setting Up ActiveSync
ActiveSync allows you to connect the 7535 to a PC through USB or Bluetooth com-
munication. File transfers, file synchronization and sending e-mail can all be done
via ActiveSync.
Important: ActiveSync must be connected and synchronized, and a ‘Partner-
ship’ set up, through USB at least once before other connection
types are possible.
Install the most recent version of ActiveSync on your PC (check the Microsoft
website for the latest software).
Connection Types
There are two types of connection provided for by ActiveSync:
• Guest - A guest connection allows file transfers. No synchronization is per-
formed. If the 7535 is password protected, the password prompt will appear
when connecting as guest.
• Partnership - A partnership connection allows for synchronization of files,
e-mail and other data. If the 7535 is password protected, a password prompt
will appear before allowing synchronization.
You can disconnect any ActiveSync connection by double-clicking on the blue icon
in the 7535’s system tray and selecting the Disconnect button from the dialog.
