Configure the Connection to a Device Using Connectivity Manager (Compact 7)
3/12/2014
From Connectivity Manager, you can change the way in which a device communicates with a development computer. The default communication method is the kernel independent transport layer (KITL) transport. You can also use the TCP transport to connect to a device that may not have KITL availability. In addition to selecting a transport type, you can also select a startup server that provides the initial communication with your device before the full transport communication is initiated.
The following procedure describes how to set the communication properties for a Connectivity Manager-defined device in remote tools.
