Overview

Thank you for purchasing the Socket 56K Modem Card.

STEP 3: Install the Software

Should I install Socket’s WhereAreYou? software?

You have two options for software installation:

Option 1: Skip software installation.

Windows CE-based mobile computers come with a generic built-in modem

driver. For basic operation of the modem card, you can use the built-in

driver and skip software installation. If you plan to use your device’s built-

in drivers, then proceed to Step 4 to insert the modem card into your device.

Option 2: Install Socket’s enhanced software.

You can use the modem card with Socket’s WhereAreYou? software, which

is enhanced with the features listed below. If you do not need these

features, skip software installation.

• A task tray icon that makes it easy to check if you have a good

connection

• An applet that reports your connection time

• An applet that lets you program the modem card to work in any

country

Software Installation

If you have not installed the software yet, follow the steps below. Make

sure to install the software BEFORE inserting the modem card.

1. Make an active connection between the mobile computer and a host PC.

An active connection exists if data can move between the host PC and

2. Insert the Socket 56K Modem Installation CD into the host PC.

3. Use My Computer or Windows Explorer to access your CD-ROM drive.

Important! Make sure you soft reset your mobile computer by pressing

the reset button!

Pocket PC 2003 only: Do not soft reset the device when a Socket card is

CHAPTER 2: SETUP FOR WINDOWS CE | 9

STEP 4: Insert the Card

country. You must start this process BEFORE inserting the

Insert the 56K Modem Card into your mobile computer, with the gray label

on top. If using a PC Card slot, first plug the card into a CompactFlash-to-
