50 Chapter 3 Getting Connected WiFi connection Windows Mobile can support TCP/IP protocol, so the user can easily connect to the Internet by modem or high-frequency wireless LAN technology. WiFi networks look and operate similarly to Ethernet networks. The only difference is that a radio transmission replaces the hard-wire connection between the various nodes. This means all of your existing applications that currently operate over Ethernet will also function utilizing WLAN without any special wireless network software. With PA500 integrated WiFi, you can scan for existing wireless network access point or hot spot. Wireless network access point or hot spot can be found in homes and offices or public areas such as inside the airport, restaurant, coffee shops, hotels, subway stations, or campus. Using WiFi networking, you can connect to a computer, access the Internet, send and receive email and files. A wireless network can be added either when the network is detected or by manually entering settings information. WiFi access in some areas may require a separate purchase of a service contract with a wireless service provider. You can check with a WiFi service provider for detailed information. NOTE: Before doing these steps, you must do the following:

- Make sure your computer have TCP/IP installed.

- Make sure the network system and remote access server in your workplace supports TCP/IP.

- Make sure you have remote access account. Ask your network administrator for assistance on setting up a wireless connection.

- First establish ActiveSync partnership with the PA500 using serial, USB or Bluetooth connection.
