Account Configuration Procedures

This chapter guides you through the steps necessary to making the AirCard wireless network card operational on a Handheld or Pocket PC. This requires that you install the AirCard software and activate and configure your account (unless the AirCard is pre-activated).

Since software cannot be installed directly to a Handheld/ Pocket PC, you require a desktop or notebook computer to function as a “host”. The installation, activation, and configu- ration process has these steps:

1.Install the software to the host.

2.Connect the Handheld/Pocket PC to the host and download the software from the host to the Handheld/ Pocket PC. (You can connect the Handheld/Pocket PC to the host before or after you install the software to the host.)

3.If the AirCard has not been pre-activated, use the Activation Wizard to configure the AirCard.

Before you begin the installation, ensure you have the necessary hardware, software, and system resources described in the next section.
