Connecting to your desktop partner
After you have established a partnership, you have several
options for connecting your device to your desktop partner in
the future. You can set Windows CE Services to automati-
cally detect your HP Jornada and establish a connection
whenever you connect the sync cable. Using the COM port on
your desktop PC is the easiest way for you to connect, unless
you use that port for other peripherals.
To enable automatic connection
1. On the desktop PC Start menu, point to Programs,
point to Microsoft Windows CE Services, and
click Mobile Devices.
2. On the File menu in the Mobile Devices window,
click Communications.
3. Under Device Connections via Serial Port, click
Enable Auto Connect.
If you use the COM port of your desktop PC for other devices,
or if you have disconnected your HP Jornada and need to re-
establish the connection, you can establish a manual connec-
tion using the PC Link program on your HP Jornada.
To connect manually
1. On the HP Jornada Start menu, point to Pro-
grams, point to Communications, and then tap
PC Link. The Connection Status dialog box
appears. After a few moments a sound indicates that
the connection has been established.
To close the connection
1. On your HP Jornada, double-tap the connection
icon in the status area of the task bar.
2. In the Connection Status dialog box, tap
Disconnect.
