Connecting to Your PC
Most users want to synchronize the MobilePro 800 with a desktop
or notebook computer. In this mode, the MobilePro is a companion
PC.The latest work done on either the MobilePro or the desktop
automatically appears on both machines, once the synchronization
process occurs.The following section provides an overview of the
synchronization process. For detailed instructions, see Chapter 1of
the NEC MobilePro 800 User’s Guide.
To configure your MobilePro for synchronization
you must do the following:
■Verify the accuracy of the PC Connection
default settings on your MobilePro.
■Ensure the availability of the serial port
on your desktop or notebook computer.
■Install Windows CE Services on your desktop or
notebook computer.
■Connect the PC Connect cable to your desktop or
notebook computer and to your MobilePro.
■Create a partnership between your desktop or
notebook computer and your MobilePro.
■Verify that the desired synchronization services
are configured.
Windows CE services automatically synchronizes your MobilePro with
your PC’s Microsoft Outlook™ or Schedule+ email, contacts, calendar,
and task list each time you attach the PC Connect cable. (The MobilePro
bonus software CD also includes software for synchronizing with other
PC applications.)
You can also transfer files to and from the MobilePro by dragging them in
and out of the Mobile Devices folder that Windows CE Services creates
on your desktop PC.

network remote access server, to get email and to view web pages.
