Connecting your hp Jornada
Your hp Jornada gives you several options for connecting to a remote
computer. You can use an optional CompactFlash card modem, an
infrared modem, or a mobile phone. Each of these methods requires
purchase of a modem or adapter as an optional accessory. For more
information about compatible modems and accessories, visit the hp
Jornada Web site at www.hp.com/jornada.
Connecting with a CompactFlash Card
Your hp Jornada supports a variety of CompactFlash card modems and
network interface cards (NICs). Whether you use a CompactFlash modem
or CompactFlash NIC, the card must be a CompactFlash Type I or
CompactFlash Type I extended card. For a list of compatible
CompactFlash cards, go to the hp Jornada accessories page at
www.hp.com/jornada. For instructions on how to install a CompactFlash
card in your hp Jornada, see “Accessories” in Chapter 6.
Many NICs also require that you install a software driver. The card manu-
facturer must provide a software driver for the hp Jornada. Follow the card
manufacturer’s instructions for installing the card and configuring the driver
for use with your hp Jornada.
After you have installed and configured the card, the make and model of
the card will appear in the list of modems or the list of network adapters
when you create a new connection (see “Creating an ISP or Network
Connection,” later in this chapter).
When you are ready to connect, connect the CompactFlash card to an
analog telephone line or a network connection using the appropriate
cable. Follow the card manufacturer’s instructions to attach the cable to the
port on the card.
Do not connect a CompactFlash modem to a digital telephone line unless it is
specifically designed for use with a digital line.
