Establishing a partnership

After you set up Windows CE Services on your desktop PC and connect your HP Jornada with the serial cable to the desktop PC, you are prompted to establish a partnership between your desktop PC and the HP Jornada. The partnership enables your desktop PC to recognize the HP Jornada when transferring files or synchronizing data.

You can establish partnerships between the HP Jornada and up to two desktop PCs (for example, your home PC and your office PC). A single desktop PC can partner with any number of H/PCs or P/PCs. This is useful if you have more than one computer running Windows CE, or if several people share a single desktop PC.
