Connecting for the first time
You can connect your HP Jornada to a desktop PC using a
serial connection (with either the docking cradle or the sync
cable) or a network connection (with an optional PC Card
network interface card), or you can connect to an infrared-
equipped desktop or notebook PC (using the infrared port).
Before you connect, you must install Windows CE Services
on the desktop PC. Then, you can connect your HP Jornada
and establish a partnership.
Setting up Windows CE Services and establishing a
partnership
Microsoft Windows CE Services with ActiveSync enables you
to synchronize the information on your desktop PC with the
information on your HP Jornada. Synchronization compares
the data on your device with your desktop PC and updates
both computers with the most recent information. For
example:
•
Keep your Pocket Outlook data current by synchronizing
your HP Jornada with your choice of Microsoft Outlook,
Microsoft Schedule+, or Microsoft Exchange on your
desktop PC. (Inbox synchronization with Schedule+ and
Outlook Express are not currently supported.)
•
Synchronize Word and Excel documents, Access and other
ODBC databases and tables, Mobile channels, and
