Connecting to your desktop partner

After you have established a partnership, you have several
options for connecting your device to your desktop partner in
the future. You can set Windows CE Services to automati-
cally detect your HP Jornada and establish a connection
whenever you connect the sync cable. Using the COM port on
your desktop PC is the easiest way for you to connect, unless
you use that port for other peripherals.
If you use the COM port of your desktop PC for other devices,
or if you have disconnected your HP Jornada and need to re-
establish the connection, you can establish a manual connec-
tion using the PC Link program on your HP Jornada.
To enable automatic connection
1. On the Start menu of your desktop PC, point to
Microsoft Windows CE Services, and click
Mobile Devices.
2. On the File menu in the Mobile Devices window,
click Communications.
3. Under Device Connections via Serial Port, click
Enable Auto Connect.
To connect manually
1. On the HP Jornada Start menu, point to
Programs, point to Communications,
and then click PC Link. The Connection Status
dialog box appears. After a few moments a sound
indicates that the connection has been established.
