Introducing Windows CE 3-9
Note:
With the optional printer cable
(MC-RC3) connected to the serial port of your NEC
MobilePro, you can print to a supported, high-speed
parallel printer. For information about MobilePro
accessories, access the NECC web site at
www.nec-computers.com
.
For additional details about using the IR port for print-
ing and transferring data, refer to the section in
Chapter 4, “Using the IR Port.”
Network Capabilities
Your MobilePro takes full advantage of the networking
capability offered through Windows CE and the PC card
port. The operating system supports Ethernet LAN and se-
rial line interface protocol (SLIP) used with Cellular Digi-
tal Packet data (CDPD) so you can have cable- or wireless-
based network communications using an Ethernet LAN PC
card. In addition, you can use CompactFlash type II
Ethernet cards on your NEC MobilePro.
Creating a Network (Ethernet) Connection
To create a network (Ethernet) connection, you must in-
stall and configure an Ethernet card. The drivers for the
card may already exist on your device. NEC also has in-
cluded drivers for the Proxim RangeLAN2.
1.
Insert the Ethernet card into your device and connect it
to your network cable. You must have an NE2000-
compatible Ethernet card, one of the wireless Ethernet
cards described above, or have installed drivers sup-
plied with the card.
You may see a message warning about battery power.
If you have an A/C adapter, plug it into your device.
