Appendix C
Advanced Software Installation
for Windows Mobile
Advanced Users Only!
If you do not want to use the application installer to install Socket’s modem software, you
can install the software from a CAB (cabinet) file. The CAB file contains all the software
and drivers for your product to be installed on a specific Pocket PC platform. CAB files are
available both on the installation CD (in the
CABs
folder) and at:
http://www.socketmobile.com/support/downloads
In order to install the CAB file, you need a way to transfer the CAB file to your
Pocket PC, such as:
•
Use Microsoft ActiveSync to transfer the CAB file to your Pocket PC. Windows
Mobile 5.0 devices require ActiveSync 4.0 or greater.
•
Use a memory card reader to save the CAB file from your desktop PC to a
memory card, then insert the memory card into your Pocket PC.
•
If your Pocket PC has Internet access, download the CAB file directly from
Socket’s website to your Pocket PC.
1.
Transfer the correct CAB file to your Pocket PC. Refer to the chart below to
determine the correct CAB file for your Pocket PC. If transferring the CAB file
with ActiveSync or downloading the CAB file directly to your Pocket PC,
remember where you save the file.
