Using Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync

If your company is using Microsoft Exchange Server 2003, you can synchronize Calendar, Contacts, and E-mail with your HP iPAQ wirelessly without connecting to a desktop cradle. Exchange ActiveSync in Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 allows the HP iPAQ to access corporate information on a server running Exchange server software. It allows ActiveSync-enabled HP iPAQs to synchronize mailbox items over the air (GPRS or wireless connection) without using a desktop computer, cradle, and desktop synchronization software.

You can also synchronize your mobile device with the Exchange server using the desktop pass-through option present in all Windows Mobilebased devices. Desktop pass-through allows your cradled HP iPAQ to use the desktop computer’s Internet connection to connect directly to Exchange ActiveSync. You can then perform tasks such as browsing the Internet or downloading IMAP/POP3 e-mail messages.

After Exchange ActiveSync creates a connection and a partnership between the HP iPAQ and the desktop computer, desktop pass-through is enabled by default, even if the desktop is locked or protected with a password or PIN.

Exchange ActiveSync enables you to synchronize the following items in your Exchange Server 2003 mailbox over the air:

• Calendar

• Contacts list

• E-mail messages

Using ActiveSync 3–3

You can receive update notifications by means of the Always-up-to-date (AUTD) feature in Exchange Server 2003. Up-to-date notifications generated by Exchange Server 2003 initiate Exchange ActiveSync synchronization between your HP iPAQ and your Exchange mailbox.

NOTE: To set up Exchange ActiveSync, you will first need to contact your corporate IT team for the name of the corporate server with Exchange Server 2003 installed.

To set up Exchange ActiveSync synchronization after you have the server information:

5 Using the Phone Features

Use the HP iPAQ Mobile Messenger phone to make and receive telephone calls and send and receive Text and MMS (Multimedia Message Service) messages. Your mobile phone service provider may provide other useful services such as voicemail.

The phone can also be used to connect to an Internet Service Provider (ISP) or work network so you can browse the Web and read e-mail. You can connect to the Internet or work network over GPRS/EDGE (General Packet Radio Service/Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution), or you can use GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) for dial-up access.

For information on establishing GSM/GPRS/EDGE data connections, refer to Chapter 7, ”Making Data Connections.”

NOTE: EDGE is an enhancement to GPRS technology and enables higher speed data connections than GPRS. This means faster phone multimedia capabilities such as sending and receiving SMS/MMS messages, and sharing video clips. Check with your service provider to see if they support EDGE technology. If your service provider does not support the EDGE network, the HP iPAQ defaults to GPRS.

SIM Card

A Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card is required to operate the phone features on your HP iPAQ. The SIM card is a plastic card embedded with a computer chip that stores and transacts data. After the SIM card is activated by your mobile phone service provider, the computer chip will contain information about your phone number, service, registration information, and contacts, as well as memory to store speed dial numbers and text or SMS/MMS messages that you receive.

With the exception of emergency calls, the SIM card must be inserted into the SIM slot under the battery on the back of the HP iPAQ for voice/data calls to work.

To dial an emergency number from the Phone keypad, tap the emergency number appropriate for your region, and then tap Talk.

You can obtain additional information on these services from your mobile phone service provider.

Your PIN

After your SIM card is activated, it may be configured with a PIN (Personal Identification Number) to prevent unauthorized use of your mobile phone.

NOTE: Emergency phone calls do not require entering a PIN.

Using the Phone Features 5–4

You can disable your PIN; however, for security reasons, it is recommended that you keep it enabled. While enabled, you must enter your PIN every time you turn on your phone features.

CAUTION: After three consecutive, incorrect PINs are entered, the SIM card locks to prevent further use. If the letters PUK (PIN Unblocking Key) display on your HP iPAQ screen, you have locked your SIM card and must enter your PIN Unblocking Key on the screen to unlock it. If you did not receive a PIN Unblocking Key with your SIM card, you must contact your service provider to unlock it.

TTY Functionality for the Hearing-Impaired

This HP iPAQ supports TTY (Tele-typewriter) functionality. This functionality allows hearing-impaired persons to communicate using existing telephony infrastructure, including cellular phones. To achieve this, separately purchased TTY devices must be connected to the telephones on both ends of a telephone call session, and the TTY software application must be downloaded from the Companion CD onto the HP iPAQ. The sending TTY

Using the Phone Features 5–23

device generates a distinct audio tone for every supported character, and these tones are decoded and converted back into text on the receiving TTY device.

Due to the use of audio compression codecs in modern digital cellular telephones, these TTY audio tones may be unintentionally distorted while being transmitted through cellular telephones. In order for TTY devices to continue to work in cellular networks, the cellular telephone must be set into a mode that optimizes the compression codec to handle TTY tones instead of the human voice.

NOTE: For information on connecting TTY devices to the HP iPAQ, refer to the TTY device manufacturer’s documentation.

7 Making Data Connections

The HP iPAQ hw6500 Mobile Messenger series offers you a comprehensive set of wireless capabilities to keep you connected in or out of the office. With Global System for Mobile Communications/General Packet Radio Service/Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution (GSM/ GPRS/EDGE), and Bluetooth integrated into a single HP iPAQ, you have broad coverage offering high speed access to the Internet, and to business and personal information.

NOTE: EDGE is a global standard for wireless wide-area data communication being rapidly deployed by GSM carriers worldwide. Actual download speeds may vary. Coverage is subject to transmission limitations and terrain, system capacity and other limitations. Not all features and service options are available in all areas.

Use the following options to get connected:

• Use the GPRS/EDGE technology integrated on your HP iPAQ to connect to a Virtual Private Network (VPN) or to remotely connect to your mobile Internet Service Provider (ISP).

• Make a wireless GSM/GPRS/EDGE connection to place a phone call or send or receive e-mail, text message, or Multimedia Message Service (MMS) messages.

NOTE: EDGE technology delivers faster data speed than GPRS to mobile devices. It allows users to connect to the Internet and send and receive data, including digital images, Web pages and photographs faster than with a GSM/GPRS network. If a network provider does not have EDGE technology deployed, the HP iPAQ defaults to GPRS data transfer rates. Because EDGE is integrated into GPRS technology when it is enabled by your service provider, there is no visible means of identifying when it is being used. You will only receive faster data transmission.

• Transfer information between Bluetooth enabled devices.

• Transfer information between two Infrared (IrDA) enabled ports.

NOTE: Use of dial-up and wireless Internet, e-mail, corporate networks,

and other wireless communications, such as Bluetooth-enabled devices, may require separately purchased additional hardware and other compatible equipment, in addition to a separately purchased service contract. Check with your service provider for availability and coverage in your area. Not all Web content may be available. Some Web content may require installation of additional software. GPRS may not be available in all networks. GPRS data transmission speeds may vary based upon network capabilities and other conditions. The establishment and continuation of a GPRS connection depends on network availability, provider support, and signal strength.

Making Data Connections 7–1

For more information on this subject, refer to the Help file on your HP iPAQ by tapping Start > Help > Connections.

Impact of Data Connection When a Phone Call is Received

Class B mobile phones may be attached to both GPRS and GSM services, using one service at a time. Class B enables making/receiving a voice call, or sending/receiving a text message during a GPRS connection. During voice calls or text messaging, GPRS services are suspended and then resumed automatically after the call or text message session has ended.

Using GSM/GPRS/EDGE Connections

GSM/GPRS/EDGE technology is integrated into your HP iPAQ. To send or receive data over a GSM/GPRS/EDGE network, you must have an account with a mobile telephone service provider that supports GSM/ GPRS/EDGE data services and an activated SIM card. The service provider must enable the GPRS data features on your account to activate it and must have EDGE technology on the network for this capability to be used on the HP iPAQ. If EDGE is not enabled, the HP iPAQ defaults to GPRS.

Creating a GPRS/EDGE Connection

A GPRS/EDGE connection provides high-speed data transfer and is typically used for Web browsing and to send and receive small bursts of data such as e-mail and MMS messages.

To create a GPRS/EDGE connection, you must subscribe with a GSM service provider that supports GPRS/EDGE. After you configure your GPRS/EDGE connection and connect to the GPRS network, you may be required to authenticate GPRS.

NOTE: Your service provider must enable the GPRS/EDGE features on your account.
