Hi Sabahattin On the PK, we simply read the names of the exposed services as the operating system reports them.
On my PC, it's not shown as ActiveSync but serial, as you correctly point out. DUN is the same, with the PK announcing "modem" instead. Your assumption on ActiveSync setup is also correct.
