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.
Infrared communication
Using infrared, you can send and receive information, such as contacts and
appointments from another IR-enabled device.
Refer to "Front view" on page 3 for the location of your device’s IR port.
