Using Internet Setup Utility
Configuring a device for Internet access can be a complicated,
time-consuming process. The Internet Setup Utility simplifies this
process by automating the way you set up profiles to use when
accessing the Internet on your handheld PC.
The Internet Setup Utility allows you to transfer your existing
Internet service provider (ISP) profile information from your
computer to your handheld PC, select profiles from a list of
pre-defined ISPs, or create new, custom profiles for use on your
handheld PC.
The Internet Setup Utility consists of two major components: the
Internet Setup Utility client and the Internet Setup Utility server.
The client (which must be installed on your computer from the
Compaq CD) collects ISP information and provides you with an
easy-to-understand user interface. The server (which is
preinstalled on your C-Series) runs on the handheld PC and
transfers ISP information to and from the handheld PC.
Setting Up a Profile
To set up a profile, follow these steps:
1. Be sure the Internet Setup Utility is installed on your
computer. For more on this, see “Step 5: Install the Compaq
C-Series Software” in Chapter 2.
2. Connect the handheld PC to your computer via the auto-sync
cable or an infrared link.
3. On the computer, open Internet Setup Utility by selecting
Start→Programs →Compaq C-Series→Internet Setup
Utility. A welcome screen appears.
4. Follow the instructions on the screen to begin the setup
process.
