Step 5: Connect To A Lan And Insert The Card - Socket 10/100 Ethernet CF Card User Manual

STEP 5: Connect to a LAN and Insert the Card

1. If you have not done so already, soft reset your mobile computer.
If you are using a Pocket PC 2003, do not soft reset the device when a
Socket card is inserted, or errors may occur in application(s) using the
card.
2. Plug the connector into a LAN port, then insert the 10/100 Ethernet CF
Card into your mobile computer. Make sure the card is right-side up,
with the green label on top.
Note: If
inserting a
CompactFlash
card into a PC
Card slot, use a
PC Card
adapter.
If you would like to check if you have a good connection, do the following:
• When ActiveSync automatically launches, close the program.
• Check to see if the Link LED has a steady green light to denote a good
connection. If the TX or RX LED is blinking, your device is
communicating with your network.
• Verify that the connection has a valid IP address for your network.
a) Open the Socket 10/100 applet.
Pocket PC: Tap Start | Settings | Connections | Socket 10/100
HPC: Tap Start | Settings | Control Panel | Socket 10/100
b) In the IP Info screen, check the IP Address field. If your network
uses a static IP address, make sure it appears correctly. If your
network uses DHCP, make sure the IP address is within the valid
range for your network. Consult with your network administrator.
• Test you web access. Start Internet Explorer. Enter a URL and test to
see if it appears correctly. If you cannot enter a URL because the
address bar does not appear, tap View and select Address Bar.
