3-10 Introducing Windows CE
Note:
With the optional printer cable (MC-
RC3E) connected to the serial port of your NEC
MobilePro, you can print to a high speed parallel
printer.

.
For additional details about using the IR port for printing and
transferring data, refer to the section, “Using the IR Port,” in
Chapter 4.
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 serial line
interface protocol (SLIP) used with Cellular Digital 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.
Windows CE Services
The Windows CE operating system and your MobilePro
provide a powerful, portable extension to your host PC. This
PC-companion capability comes through the Windows CE
Services software.
Windows CE Services provides the communication link
between your MobilePro and host PC. It uses an
ActiveSync™ technology that provides synchronization
between files you are using on your MobilePro and/or host
PC. Thus, you can keep up-to-date copies of email and
documents.
