Welcome To The Add Hardware Wizard page. Select Yes, I Have Already Connected<br />

The Hardware, and then click Next. Select Add A New Hardware Device and then click<br />

Next, and follow the directions onscreen.<br />

To configure an IrDA device, in Control Panel click Wireless Link. In the Hardware tab,<br />

click the device you want to configure, and then click Properties. The Properties dialog<br />

box shows the status of the device, driver files, and any power management settings.<br />

Note The Wireless Link icon appears in Control Panel only if you have already installed an<br />

infrared device on your computer.<br />

Handheld Devices<br />

Most handheld devices support either IrDA standards or connect to the computer<br />

through a serial or USB port. For handheld devices that use a port, some connect directly<br />

to the port, and some connect to a cradle, which in turn is connected to the port.<br />

You will need to install software so that Windows XP can communicate correctly with<br />

the handheld device. For example, Palm-based personal digital assistants (PDAs)<br />

require you to install the Palm desktop software to allow the PDA to transfer data to<br />

and from a Windows-based PC. Handheld devices running Windows Mobile software,<br />

such as the Pocket PC, require that you install a program named ActiveSync on the<br />

computer.<br />
