Getting Connected
You can use your Pocket PC to exchange information with other mobile
devices as well as your desktop computer, a network, or the Internet. You
have the following connection options:
■ Use the infrared (IR) port on your Pocket PC to send and receive files
between two devices. If this is the method you want to use, see the
following section “Transfer Items Using Infrared.”
■ Connect to your network. Once connected, you can send and receive
e-mail messages by using Inbox 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
Pocket PC. Your service provider will provide software needed to
install other services, such as paging and fax services. If this is the
method you want to use, see “Connect 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 e-mail messages by
using Inbox, view Web or WAP pages by using Pocket Internet
Explorer, and synchronize with your desktop computer. If this is the
method you want to use, see “Connect to Work” later in this chapter.
■ Connect to your desktop computer 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 desktop computer or Connections Help on
the Pocket PC.
