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.
