Create a Communication Option
1. On the MX3-CE, select Start / Programs / Communication / Remote Networking. A window is
displayed showing the existing connections.
2. Assuming the one you want does not exist, double-click Make New Connection.
3. Give the new connection an appropriate name (USB, IR @ 9600, etc.). Click the Direct
Connection radio button. Click the Next button.
4. From the popup menu, choose the port you want to connect to. Only the available ports are
shown.
5. Click the Configure... button.
6. Under the Port Settings tab, choose the appropriate baud rate (select 115200 for USB, since
baud rate does not really apply here). Data bits, parity, and stop bits remain at 8, none, and 1,
respectively.
7. Under the Call Options tab, be sure to turn off Wait for dial tone, since a direct connection
will not have a dial tone. Set the timeout parameter (default is 90 seconds). Click OK.
8. TCP/IP Settings should not need to change from defaults. Click the Finish button to create the
new connection.
9. Close the Remote Networking window.
10. To activate the new connection select Start / Settings / Control Panel / Communication / PC
Connection and click the Change button.
11. Select the new connection. Click OK twice.
12. Close the Control Panel window.
13. Connect the desktop PC to the MX3-CE with the appropriate cable.
14. Click the desktop Connect icon to test the new connection.
You can activate the connection by double-clicking on the specific connection icon in the Remote
Networking window, but this will only start an RAS (Remote Access Services) session, and does
not start ActiveSync properly.
