4: Installation on Devices Running 4 Windows CE

System requirements

Software installation

Card insertion and removal

This chapter provides installation instructions for users of computers running the Windows CE operating system. The AirCard runs on Handheld, Pocket, and Tablet PCs running Windows CE 3.x and CE .NET ( CE .NET is sometimes called “CE 4.x”).

Note: Do not insert the AirCard into your PC Card slot before installing the software.

Before installing the AirCard software on your CE device, ensure you have the required hardware and software. Since software cannot be directly installed to a CE device, you require a desktop or notebook PC to perform the installation.

During the installation, you install the software to a desktop or notebook PC that functions as the “host”. The host connects to the CE device by a cable or infrared ports and the software is downloaded from the host to the CE device using the Microsoft ActiveSync® application.
