CradlePoint USB-Host to Ethernet Adapter User Guide 

When You Can’t Use DHCP 

For most installations, it is not necessary to manually configure the USB-Host to Ethernet 
Adapter. The PS6U1UHE uses DHCP to automatically configure its network settings by 
default. For installations on networks that do not have a DHCP server or must use static IP 
addresses for other reasons, it is possible to customize the Adapter's configuration (e.g. 
setting a static IP address, assigning specific name to the Adapter, etc.). Please download 
the Cradle Manager software package from 

www.cradlepoint.com

. Installation and 

configuration information is contained in the setup instructions included with the download. 
Once the software is installed, you will use the Cradle Manager component to configure your 
PS6U1UHE. 

Uninstall eConnect 

 

It is extremely important that you follow these steps. Failure to do so will 
prevent ActiveSync from being able to detect cradle events.  

If you ever cold-booted the terminal after installing eConnect via the .cab file, 
eConnect will not appear in the Remove Programs list in the Control Panel. To 
uninstall, display ActiveSync Explorer on the PC and remove the files manually 
using the instructions in Manual Removal below. 

To uninstall eConnect from the MC1000, follow these simple steps:  

1. Go to 

Start 

Settings 

and select the eConnect icon. Press the 

Enter 

button to open 

eConnect.  

2. Check 

Launch ActiveSync

.  

3. Uncheck 

Use eConnect for Docking Events

.  

4. Press the 

OK 

button at the top of the screen.  

5. Locate the 

Remove Programs 

icon and press the 

Enter 

button.  

6. Select 

InVision eConnect 

in the programs list.  

7. Locate the 

Remove 

and press the 

Enter 

button. Then select 

Yes 

in the Remove 

Program dialog and press the 

Enter 

button.  

8. Press the 

OK 

button at the top of the screen.  

9. Warm boot the terminal to remove the eConnect icon from the Control Panel.  

Manual Removal  

If you cannot remove eConnect using the above method, you will have to remove the files 
manually using the following simple steps.  

1. Reconnect the MC1000 directly to the Host computer using a USB cable.  
2. Open ActiveSync and re-establish an active connection. Then open the ActiveSync 

Explorer.  

3. Browse to the “\Windows” folder on the MC1000 and then find and delete the 

following files: eConnect.cpl and eConnect.exe.  

4. Browse to the “\Windows\Startup” folder and delete the eConnect.lnk file.  
5. Next browse to the “\Applications” folder and find and delete the following files: 

eConnect.cpl, eConnect.cpy, eConnect.exe, eConnect.reg, and eConnect.lnk.  

6. Warm boot the terminal to remove the eConnect icon from the Control Panel.
