This chapter provides installation instructions for users of
computers running the Windows CE operating system. The
AirCard runs on Handheld, Pocket, and Tablet PCs running
Windows CE 3.x and CE .NET. (CE .NET is sometimes called
CE 4.x).
Before installing the AirCard software on your CE device,
ensure you have the required hardware and software. Since
software cannot be directly installed to a CE device, you
require a desktop or notebook PC to perform the installation.
There are two methods of installation:
•
If you are running CE 3.x, you install the software to a
desktop or notebook PC that functions as the "host". The
host connects to the CE device by a cable or infrared ports
and the software is downloaded from the host to the CE
device using the Microsoft ActiveSync® application.
•
If you are running CE .NET, you download a CAB file (a
compressed file containing the software) from the AirCard
installation CD to either a host PC or a flash card. You then
copy the CAB file to the CE device by inserting the flash
card into your CE device or by establishing an ActiveSync
connection between the host and the CE device.
