40 HP Jornada 680/680e User’s Guide

Connecting to your desktop partner

After you have established a partnership, you have several options for connecting your device to your desktop partner in the future. You can set Windows CE Services to automatically detect your HP Jornada and establish a connection whenever you connect the sync cable. Using the COM port on your desktop PC is the easiest way for you to connect, unless you use that port for other peripherals.

To enable automatic connection

1.On the desktop PC Start menu, point to Programs, point to Microsoft Windows CE Services, and click Mobile Devices.

2.On the File menu in the Mobile Devices window, click Communications.

3.Under Device Connections via Serial Port, click Enable Auto Connect.

If you use the COM port of your desktop PC for other devices, or if you have disconnected your HP Jornada and need to reestablish the connection, you can establish a manual connection using the PC Link program on your HP Jornada.

To connect manually

1.On the HP Jornada Start menu, point to Pro- grams, point to Communications, and then tap PC Link. The Connection Status dialog box appears. After a few moments a sound indicates that the connection has been established.

To close the connection

1.On your HP Jornada, double-tap the connection icon in the status area of the task bar.

2.In the Connection Status dialog box, tap Disconnect.
