Getting Connected
You can use your Toshiba Pocket PC e830 to exchange information with
other mobile devices as well as your PC, a network, or the Internet. You
have the following connection options:
•
Use the infrared (IR) port on your Toshiba Pocket PC e830 to send
and receive files between two devices. If this is the method you want
to use, see the following section entitled “Transferring files using infra-
red.”
• Connect to your Internet account provider (ISP). Once connected, you
can send and receive email messages by using Messaging and view
Web or WAP pages by using Microsoft
® Pocket Internet Explorer. The
communication software for creating an ISP connection is already
installed on your Toshiba Pocket PC e830. Your account provider
must provide the software needed to install other accounts, such as
paging and fax accounts. If this is the method you want to use, see the
section entitled “Connecting to the Internet” later in this chapter.
• Connect to the network at your company or organization where you
work. Once connected, you can send and receive email messages by
using Messaging, view Web or WAP pages by using Pocket Internet
Explorer, and synchronize with your PC. If this is the method you want
to use, see "Connecting to work" on page 108.
• Connect to your PC to synchronize remotely. Once connected, you
can synchronize information such as your Pocket Outlook information.
If this is the method you want to use, see ActiveSync Help on your PC
or Connections Help on your Toshiba Pocket PC e830.
Transferring files using infrared
Using infrared (IR), you can send and receive information, such as con-
tacts and appointments, between two IR-equipped devices.
Sending information
1. Switch to the program where you created the item you want to send
and locate the item in the list.
2. Align the IR ports so that they are unobstructed and within a close
range.
