6 Getting connected

You can use your ET180 to exchange information with other mobile devices and connect to your computer, a network, or the Internet. You have the following connection options:

•Use the infrared (IR) port on your device to send and receive files from another IR-enabled device.

•Connect to your Internet service provider (ISP). Once connected, you can send and receive email messages by using Inbox and view Web or WAP pages by using Pocket Internet Explorer.

The communication software for creating an ISP connection is already installed on your device. Your service provider will provide software needed to install other services, such as paging and fax services.

•Connect to the virtual private network (VPN) at the company or organisation where you work. Once connected, the added security of a VPN means that you can access the full resources of your company’s network. For example, you can use File Explorer to access the files of computers on that network.
