This post covers copying files to the Intermec/Honeywell CN and CK series computer with Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5, it doesn’t cover the new Android computers.
Connecting a dock to your computer with a USB cable and using Windows Mobile Device Center is very easy, but Microsoft broke this in Windows 10. WMDC works fine under Windows 7 and is your best choice if you are running this OS. There are some tips on the internet about running WMDC in compatibility mode under Win 10, but they didn’t work for me.
Another easy option is to put your files on a USB stick and then plug the stick into the USB A connector on the side of a single docking station for your CN/CK computer. Once inserted click on Start, File Explorer, My Device and you should see the USB key in the pull down menu show up as “Hard Disk”:
You can copy files to the computer over your wireless network too. There’s an FTP server program available on these devices, but it’s a hidden file. Click on Start, File Explorer, then scroll down to the Windows folder. Click on the Menu button on the bottom of the screen and click on “Show All Files”. Now scroll down this folder listing and look for the file “ftpdce”. Press the stylus on this filename and hold it for a couple of seconds until the menu pops up and select “copy”. Scroll back to the top of the Windows folder and click on the Start Up folder. Press the stylus on some white space and hold if for a couple of seconds. When the menu pops up select “Past Shortcut”. Now the FTP server will start when window boots.
Press the power key and choose the Reboot option.
I use FileZilla as an FTP client, but feel free to try your own; I had no luck using FTP within a browser. Find the IP address of your your computer by clicking on Start then ISpyWiFi. Keythis IP number into FileZilla and log in with the user name “intermec” and a password of “cr52401” and you should see this screen:
Other options are Intermec’s Smart Systems (free, big install) or Soti’s Mobi Control (licensed, reliable, if you have a lot of devices).
Good luck, email any questions to info@accuratedata.com.
