Windows Mobility 5.0

The following documentation provides a step by step set of directions for the process of updating and installing patches the HP IPAQ 2490B PDA. Your administrator was given the PDA by either the STS or Professional Development departments.

Although the PDA, in the original configuration, will allow the user to connect to most wireless access points, like “Hot Spots”, non-secured or secured connections, these patches must be installed to allow the user to connect to the Polk County wireless systems (pcsb b-g).

1.Download PDA Wireless Patch Files to Desktop - Step #1

2.Performing a HARD reset on the PDA and Initial Setup after reset – Step #3

3.Copying Files, Configuring the Menu on the PDA, Installing the Daylight Savings Time Patch – Step #7

4.Installing the Wireless Patch – Step #10

5.Running the REG EDIT Patch – Step #13

6.Setting Up the Proxy Setting – Step #19

7.Initial Login to the Network – Step #23
