3-10 Introducing Windows CE
Network Capabilities
Your MobilePro takes full advantage of the networking
capability offered through Windows CE and the PC card port.
The operating system supports Ethernet LAN and serial line
interface protocol (SLIP) used with Cellular Digital Packet
data (CDPD) so you can have cable- or wireless-based
network communications using an Ethernet LAN PC card. In
addition, you can use CompactFlash type II Ethernet cards on
your NEC MobilePro.
Creating a Network (Ethernet) Connection
To create a network (Ethernet) connection, you must install
and configure an Ethernet card. The drivers for the card may
already exist on your device. NECC also has included drivers
for the Proxim RangeLAN2.
1. Insert the Ethernet card into your device and connect it to
your network cable. You must have an NE2000-
compatible Ethernet card, one of the wireless Ethernet
cards described above, or have installed drivers supplied
with the card.
You may see a message warning about battery power. If
you have an A/C adapter, plug it into your device.
2. In the Settings dialog box, enter the information for your
server. Most networks use DHCP, so you should not have
to change these settings. See your network administrator
if you need assistance.
If the Settings dialog box does not appear, go to Start,
Settings, Control Panel, and double tap Network. Select
your Ethernet driver, select Properties, and configure the
appropriate settings.
