How to Get the Device Info

Overview

MCL-Loader V4 provides you with information regarding the device you have connected to your PC (via USB/Windows Mobile Device Center or Wifi) and the installed MCL software.

If your device is a Windows Mobile/Windows CE device, you can use a USB (Windows Mobile Device Center) or a Wifi connection.

With Android devices, however, only a Wifi connection is possible.

Since a Wifi connection requires having the App Desktop open in your device, the Device Info procedure via Wifi should only be performed with devices that already have an MCL product installed (ex: MCL-Client).

See How to Install MCL Software in a Device.
