58 hp Jornada 560 series personal digital assistant User’s Guide
Connecting your hp Jornada
Your hp Jornada gives you several options for connecting to a remote computer. You can use an optional CompactFlash card modem, an infrared modem, or a mobile phone. Each of these methods requires purchase of a modem or adapter as an optional accessory. For more information about compatible modems and accessories, visit the hp Jornada Web site at www.hp.com/jornada.
Connecting with a CompactFlash Card
Your hp Jornada supports a variety of CompactFlash card modems and network interface cards (NICs). Whether you use a CompactFlash modem or CompactFlash NIC, the card must be a CompactFlash Type I or CompactFlash Type I extended card. For a list of compatible CompactFlash cards, go to the hp Jornada accessories page at www.hp.com/jornada. For instructions on how to install a CompactFlash card in your hp Jornada, see “Accessories” in Chapter 6.
Many NICs also require that you install a software driver. The card manufacturer must provide a software driver for the hp Jornada. Follow the card manufacturer’s instructions for installing the card and configuring the driver for use with your hp Jornada.
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 “Creating an ISP or Network Connection,” later in this chapter).
When you are ready to connect, connect the CompactFlash card to an analog telephone line or a network connection using the appropriate cable. Follow the card manufacturer’s instructions to attach the cable to the port on the card.
Do not connect a CompactFlash modem to a digital telephone line unless it is specifically designed for use with a digital line.
