Installation and upgrade

The Welch Allyn SmartLink Wireless CD may be used to install or upgrade any or all of the
SmartLink Wireless components: SmartLink Wireless Monitoring Station, SmartLink
Wireless Gateway Service, SmartLink Wireless Gateway Client and the eSync PDA
application. The following sections describe the installation of these components in detail.

Configuration options

SmartLink Wireless components can be configured in several ways depending on the
network configuration and available computers. The possible configurations are:

Monitoring station with no gateway

Monitoring station and gateway on separate computers

Monitoring station and gateway on a single computer

Connecting a PDA to the SmartLink Wireless Monitoring Station

When installing the SmartLink Wireless Monitoring Station on a system, it is
recommended to connect a PDA for installation of the eSync software. While it is possible
to install ActiveSync and connect a PDA for installation after the SmartLink Wireless
installation, it is recommended to complete this step prior to SmartLink Wireless
installation.

To configure the ActiveSync application on the PC

1.

Double click the ActiveSync icon.

2.

Select the File menu item then select Connection Settings. This will bring up the
Connection Settings dialog box.

3.

Connect the handheld to the PC using a serial cable via a COM port, or via a USB port.

To use a serial cable and COM port:

Select the check box for Allow serial cable or infrared connection to this
COM port
.

Click on the combo box below the check box to select an available COM port.

Note

For the latter two configurations, the gateway client may then be installed on any
system that has network access to the gateway. See

“Monitoring Station

configuration options”

on page 16 for more information.

Note

Microsoft ActiveSync should be installed on the PC and handheld computer prior
to installing the SmartLink Wireless software. If ActiveSync is not installed on the
system, it can be downloaded from
