Connecting to external devices
You can use the USB to serial converter to connect to an external device that has a
serial port, such as a computer.
Note – When connecting to an office computer, you cannot use ActiveSync technology (or
the WMDC) to establish the connection or synchronize data. To use ActiveSync (or the
WMDC), you must use a USB cable or a Bluetooth connection (see Connecting the
handheld to a computer, page 57) .
To connect to an external device that has a serial port:
1. Attach the USB to serial converter to the handheld.
2. Plug the null modem cable into the serial (COM) port on the USB to serial
converter.
3. Connect the other end of the cable to the serial port on the external device.
To connect to a serial device that does not have a standard 9-pin serial port, use a cable
that has a DE9 connector on one end, and the appropriate connector for the other
device on the other end. A suitable cable may be supplied with the external device.
