Chapter 1 Introduction
Overview
The Socket Digital Phone Card (DPC) allows you to
connect your data-capable mobile phone to a Windows–
based mobile computer or Apple PowerBook. Now you
can check email, browse the web, connect to your office
network and synchronize files— all wirelessly!
When you use the Digital Phone Card, you don’t need a modem, because
your data-capable mobile phone simulates one. You can use the Digital
Phone Card with any application that you use with a regular modem, such as
for email, file transfers or web browsing.
The DPC fits directly into the CompactFlash I/O slot of a Pocket PC,
Pocket PC 2002, HPC 2000, Palm-size PC, Handheld PC Pro, pen tablet, or
Casio Cassiopeia BE-300 Pocket Manager.
With the included CompactFlash-to-PC Card
adapter, you can also use the DPC in the PC Card
slot of a Pocket PC, HPC 2000, Handheld PC Pro,
Windows 9x/Me/2000/XP notebook or Apple
PowerBook.
Your retail box may not completely list all the mobile phones compatible
with your version of the DPC. For a complete, up-to-date listing, please
visit: www.socketcom.com/product/dpc.htm
For software updates, visit: www.socketcom.com/support/support_dpc.htm
If you have the Windows NT operating system, please call Socket’s
technical support department at 510-744-2720 for compatibility information
and installation instructions.

communications, check out Socket’s white paper, “Mobile Phone Basics,”

Working Wirelessly with the DPC
Wireless Web Browsing
If you have a web browser on your mobile computer (e.g.,
Pocket Internet Explorer, Netscape, etc.), you can use the DPC to
browse the Internet anytime anywhere within your mobile
phone’s coverage area. Simply use the DPC to wirelessly connect to your
office network or Internet Service Provider (ISP), open your web browser,
then surf the Internet!
Wireless Email
You can set up your mobile computer’s Inbox to directly access
your IMAP4-enabled exchange server or ISP’s POP3 user
accounts. Also, if you have a web browser on your mobile
computer, you can also use html-based email services.
Wireless ActiveSync
While running ActiveSync wirelessly with the DPC, your mobile
computer works as if it were directly connected to a host
computer. For information about ActiveSync, please refer to your
mobile computer’s user manual.
