Network Capabilities

Your MobilePro takes full advantage of the networking capability offered through Windows CE and the PC card port. The operating system supports Ethernet LAN and serial line interface protocol (SLIP) used with Cellular Digital Packet data (CDPD) so you can have cable- or wireless- based network communications using an Ethernet LAN PC card. In addition, you can use CompactFlash type II Ethernet cards on your NEC MobilePro.

Creating a Network (Ethernet) Connection

To create a network (Ethernet) connection, you must install and configure an Ethernet card. The drivers for the card may already exist on your device. NEC also has included drivers for the Proxim RangeLAN2.

1.Insert the Ethernet card into your device and connect it to your network cable. You must have an NE2000-compatible Ethernet card, one of the wireless Ethernet cards described above, or have installed drivers supplied with the card.

You may see a message warning about battery power. If you have an A/C adapter, plug it into your device.
