Introduction b) Select the appropriate connection type: Serial Port or TCP/IP . If you select Serial Port , also select the COM port and review the advanced settings. If you are already connected to the target device via ActiveSync, you do not need to select another connection at this time. However, keep in mind how the target device will actually be used during project run time. c) Click OK . d) If you selected TCP/IP for the connection type, note the device's IP address. 4. Use the Remote Management tool to connect to the target device: a) Run the project development application on your computer. e) Make sure that you leave Remote Agent running on the target device.
b) On the Home tab of the ribbon, in the Remote Management group, click Connect . The Remote Management dialog box is displayed. c) Select the appropriate connection type for the target device: Host , Serial Port , or Microsoft ActiveSync . If you select Host , also type the host name or IP address of the target device. If you select Serial Port , also select the COM port and verify the advanced serial communication settings. d) Click Connect . If you are successfully connected to the target device, the connection status is shown in the Status box and the device's specifications are shown in the Platform box.
If you are not connected, check both the connection settings and the physical connections. In particular, if you have selected Host as the connection type, check to make sure that port 4322 is open on any firewalls between your computer and the target station, including on the target station itself. Note: In some cases, the Remote Management tool may not be able to connect via Microsoft ActiveSync to a device running Windows Embedded Compact. This is because of an error in the default configuration of the operating system, and you can fix it by using a utility program that is included with InduSoft Web Studio. The program file is located at:
C:\Program Files (x86)\InduSoft Web Studio v8.1\Redist \ActiveSyncUnlock.exe Use the standalone version of Microsoft ActiveSync to copy the program file to the device, and then run the program on the device. It does not matter where the program file is located on the device. After you have done that, try again to use the Remote Management tool to connect to the device. Page 24
