Connecting with an Infrared Modem
You can also use the infrared port on your hp Jornada to connect to the
Internet or a remote computer via an IrDA-compatible infrared modem.
When you create a new dial-up connection, select
Generic IrDA
modem
from the modem list. Connect the modem to a phone line
according to the manufacturer’s instructions, and align the infrared port on
your hp Jornada with the infrared port on the modem before dialing the
call.
Connecting with a Mobile Phone
If your mobile phone service supports remote data connection, you can use
the mobile phone to connect your hp Jornada to the Internet or to a remote
computer. Depending on the make and model of your mobile phone, you
can connect your hp Jornada to the mobile phone using either a Compact-
Flash card interface or the infrared port.
CompactFlash Connectivity Kit
You may be able to obtain a CompactFlash Type I or Type I extended
connectivity kit from the manufacturer of your phone, or from a third-party
manufacturer. In either case, the kit must be designed to work with the
specific model of your phone, and the manufacturer must provide a driver
for use with the hp Jornada.
After you have installed and configured the card, the make and model of
the card will appear in the list of modems or the list of network adapters
when you create a new connection (see “Creating an ISP or Network
Connection,” later in this chapter).
Via Infrared
If your mobile phone has a built-in IrDA-compatible infrared port (or if an
optional infrared connectivity kit is available for your phone), you can use
the infrared port on your hp Jornada to connect. When you create a new
dial-up connection, select
Generic IrDA modem
from the modem list.
Align the infrared port on your hp Jornada with the infrared port on the
mobile phone before dialing the call. For detailed instructions on how to
establish a wireless connection using a mobile phone, check the hp
Jornada Web site at www.hp.com/jornada.
