STEP 3: Install the Software

Should I install Socket’s WhereAreYou? software? You have two options for software installation:

Option 1: Skip software installation.

Windows CE-based mobile computers come with a generic built-in modem driver. For basic operation of the modem card, you can use the built-in driver and skip software installation. If you plan to use your device’s built- in drivers, then proceed to Step 4 to insert the modem card into your device.

Option 2: Install Socket’s enhanced software.

You can use the modem card with Socket’s WhereAreYou? software, which is enhanced with the features listed below. If you do not need these features, skip software installation.

•A task tray icon that makes it easy to check if you have a good connection

•An applet that reports your connection time

•An applet that lets you program the modem card to work in any country

Software Installation

If you have not installed the software yet, follow the steps below. Make sure to install the software BEFORE inserting the modem card.

1.Make an active connection between the mobile computer and a host PC.

An active connection exists if data can move between the host PC and mobile computer via a serial/USB/Ethernet connection cable or cradle.

2.Insert the Socket 56K Modem Installation CD into the host PC.

Note: The host PC can be a desktop or notebook PC.

3.Use My Computer or Windows Explorer to access your CD-ROM drive. Click on SETUP.EXE.
