Configuring the MX3Plus with LXEConnect
LXEConnect allows a user to view the MX3Plusscreen remotely from a PC using an ActiveSync connection:
Requirement: ActiveSync (version 4.5 or higher for Windows XP desktop/laptop computers) must be resident on the host
(desktop/laptop) computer. Windows Mobile Device Center (version 6.1 or higher) is required for a Windows
Vista/Windows 7 desktop/laptop computer. ActiveSync and Windows Mobile Device Center for the PC is available from the
Microsoft website. Follow Microsoft instructions to locate, download and install ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center
on your desktop computer.
Note: For readability in this section, ActiveSync will be used in instructions and explanations. If you have a Windows Vista
or Windows 7 operating system on your desktop/laptop, replace ActiveSync with Windows Mobile Device Center.
ActiveSync is already installed on the MX3Plus. The MX3Plus is preconfigured to establish a USB ActiveSync connection to a
PC when the proper cable is attached to the MX3Plus and the PC. If The MX3Plus uses a serial port for ActiveSync, it is
necessary to configure the MX3Plus to use the serial port. Complete details on the proper cables and port configuration are
included in Initial Setup.
Install LXEConnect
1. Install Microsoft ActiveSync on a PC with a USB port. For details, please see Initial Setup.
2. Power up the MX3Plus.
3. Connect the MX3Plus to the PC using the proper connection cable. Once connected, the ActiveSync dialog box
appears. If using the USB connection, the ActiveSync connection is automatically established. If using a serial
connection, it is necessary to initiate the connection from the MX3Plus.

is not necessary to establish a partnership to use LXEConnect. However, if a partnership is desired for other reasons,
one may be established now. More details on partnerships are included in ActiveSync Help.

6. An explorer window is displayed for the MX3Plus. Browse to the \System\LXEConnect folder. Contact Technical
Assistance for the necessary files if this folder is missing.
