Software installation
There are two methods of installing and downloading the
software using ActiveSync. You can either:
Connect the host and the CE device before you install the
software to the host. (In this case, you are prompted to
initiate the download as soon as the software installation is
complete.)
Or
Note: Do not insert the AirCard
into the CE device before
downloading the software.
Install the software to the host and then connect the host
and the CE device, as described here.
This process installs Watcher and the AirCard drivers.
Installing the software on the host
1. If the AirCard installation CD is not in your CD-ROM
drive, insert it. The CD should auto-start and display a
menu.
· If the CD does not auto-start, select
Start > Run and enter
d:\launch.exe where d is the drive letter of your CD-ROM
drive.
2. From the CD start-up menu, select the option appropriate
to your device and operating system (
Handheld PC 2000
installation and documentation
or Pocket PC installation and
documentation
or CE .NET installation and documentation.).
3. From the next menu, select the installation option that
corresponds to your version of Windows CE.
This launches the installation wizard that installs the soft-
ware to the host.
4. Follow the instructions on the screen.
· Using the default settings for the Destination Location
and Program Folder is recommended unless you have
special requirements and an advanced understanding of
PC configuration.
· A dialog box displays this message, “On the next mobile
device connection, the installed applications will be
downloaded to the device.” Click
OK.
· Use the
exit option in the lower right corner of the
window to close the CD start-up menu.
