Introduction

The InVision PS6U1UPE serves as an essential data communications device, enabling you
to synchronize the information on your Symbol® MC50 and a host computer using
ActiveSync® technology, or your Symbol® MC3000 using your customized synchronizing
software, across a standard Ethernet network.

There are 3 connection ports on the PS6U1UPE. These are described below:

A standard barrel port used for connecting the Power
Adapter.

This power adapter (PN 170140-000) is required for the
MC50 and optional for the MC3000. The power adapter is
available separately.

Used to connect to the MC50 or MC3000 USB ports for
ActiveSync, or other communications, to other computers on
the Ethernet networks.

A special USB adapter cable is required. The cable is
available separately for the MC50 (PN 190087-000) or
MC3000 (PN 170373-000).

Used to connect to your Ethernet network for ActiveSync, or
other communications, to other computers on the networks,

Getting Started

Before You Begin

Before you can successfully connect your Symbol MC50 or MC3000 to your
network with your PS6U1UPE, you must have successfully configured your
device for ActiveSync operations. For assistance with ActiveSync operations,
please refer to your Symbol Integrator Guide.

Only after you have successfully created an ActiveSync partnership between
your MC50 or your MC3000 and your host computer, and completed an
ActiveSync operation, should you attempt to connect your device to your
network. This is important even if you plan to us e other 3
synchronization software, because using ActiveSync allows you to validate
your software/hardware installation. Then, if you have problems later making
your 3
configuration because you know everything else works fine.

Setting up the MC50

Installing the MC50 Software Drivers

The MC50 requires the installation of software drivers to enable it to communicate through
your network to complete ActiveSync, or synchronization operations. By design, the MC50
functions as a USB client device. With the installation of these drivers, the MC50 will now be
able to also function as a USB host device.

If you have not already done so, go to
PS6U1UPE drivers. The drivers are provided in a self-extracting ZIP file. Simply dow nload
the file to your computer and follow these simple steps:

Step 1 – Unpack the software

Double-click the downloaded file to extract the drivers. The ZIP file will automatically
unpack the MC50 driver software components to a default directory called C:\MC50Drivers.
You may change this directory if you wish. However, if you change the directory be sure
that you remember where you put it, because this is the location where you will move the
files “from.”

Step 2 – Verify MC50 Configuration

Before you start to install the MC50 driver software,
you must ensure you have successfully completed an
ActiveSync between the MC50 and your computer via
the MC50’s USB cable.

www.invisioncradles.com and download the latest

If you have not already configured ActiveSync, please
do so now and ensure that you successfully
synchronize between the MC50 and your PC before
you continue. If you need help, refer to your MC50
Integrator’s Guide, or contact Symbol Technical
Support for assistance.
