several pocketpc at the same time on the same PC

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

Hi I have 4 pocketPc ASUS MYPAL A730.

And My Idea is to put them all on the each cradel and let the pc do active
syn of each one. All four of them are connected to a usb HUB.

Instead of putting each pocket PC on the cradel to syn and them taking it
off for the next pocketPC.

I know that windows reconises each pocket PC active syn doesn't is there any
way of doing what I have in mind.

Thanks ..

Ps at the moment I have only 4 put I'll be getting 20 Pockect PC's.

Thanks ..

however, active sync will only recognize 1 pocketpc at a time (wireless,
cradled or otherwise.) as far as I know there is no way to sync multiple
units at the same time.

I take this as meaning he wanted a way to get them to all sync at the same
time. I was merely pointing out that syncing multiple units at the same
time is not possible (wirelessly or otherwise)

Well, it woild depend on what exactly you were needing to update on the
ppcs, but if it was file based data, for example, and wireless ppcs, then
you could create a directory on a server for each device, push to the
directories as desired, and have some script on the devices that would pull
the data from its directory . The directory could be based on device name,
just to keep things simple. There are other alternatives, depending on the
data type requirement. Some things could even be emailed to the devices,
with the device script or program acting on a topic accordingly.

The important things, apparently, are that 1) you can control which device
gets the update 2) Multiple devices can update at the same time and 3) You
have some feedback that the update took place. To this last point the ppc
could write to a log file on the server, write a short file itself, or even
email you with update results. There really are a lot of ways of doing it
outside of tying yourself to activesync, if datatype permits. They are
pocket pcs, after all, not just pims.

is there any way of using several PocketPCs connected to USB and be able to
visualize them one by one.

what I want to copy the information that is on the ROM.
