Connecting with an infrared modem

You can also use the infrared port on your HP Jornada to connect to the Internet or a remote computer via an IrDA-compatible infrared modem. When you create a new dial-up connection, select Generic IrDA modem from the modem list. Connect the modem to a phone line according to the manu- facturer’s instructions, and align the infrared port on your HP Jornada with the infrared port on the modem before dialing the call.

Connecting with a mobile phone

If your mobile phone service supports remote data connection, you can use the mobile phone to connect your HP Jornada to the Internet or to a remote computer. Depending on the make and model of your mobile phone, you can connect your Pocket PC to the mobile phone using either a CompactFlash card interface or the infrared port.

CompactFlash connectivity kit

You may be able to obtain a Type I CompactFlash connectivity kit from the manufacturer of your phone, or from a third-party manufacturer. In either case, the kit must be designed to work with the specific model of your phone, and the manufacturer must provide a driver for use with the HP Jornada Pocket PC.

After you have installed and configured the card, the make and model of the card will appear in the list of modems or the list of network adapters when you create a new connection (see the Creating an ISP or network connection section in this chapter).

Via infrared

If your mobile phone has a built-in IrDA-compatible infrared port (or if an optional infrared connectivity kit is available for your phone), you can use the infrared port on your HP Jornada to connect. When you create a new dial-up connection, select Generic IrDA modem from the modem list. Align the infrared port on your HP Jornada with the infrared port on the mobile phone before dialing the call. For detailed instructions on how to establish a wireless connection using a mobile phone, check the HP Jornada Web site at www.hp.com/jornada.

Creating an ISP or network connection

To connect to a network or the Internet, you need an account with an Internet service provider (ISP), an account on your corporate network, or access permission to dial in to a specific computer.
