CompactFlash Card Installation
DuraMax Tablet 8.4 Product Guide v2.01
The steps for installing and de-installing CompactFlash (CF) cards in the Tablet’s PC Card slot
are similar to those for PC Cards. However, the Type I CF card is first inserted into a Type II
CompactFlash adapter, and the adapter – with the CF card’s label turned toward the back of the
Tablet – is inserted into the PC Card slot until it seats in the slot.
Wired data communications on the Tablet let you surf the Web, send and receive Web-based
emails, access the corporate file server, print on your department’s printer, and synchronize files
between the Tablet and your primary computer. Wired communications are achieved by:
� Directly connecting the Tablet to your network using an Ethernet cable
� Connecting the Tablet in the Tablet docking cradle via USB cable to your primary
computer
Connecting Via Ethernet
Before using Ethernet to connect to the network, check with your system administrator for
network settings. Then insert a 10/100 Ethernet cable connector into the RJ-45 connector on the
top of the Tablet. Insert the connector on the other end of the cable into an Ethernet port on your
network.
Open the Network Connections folder by tapping Start | Settings | Network and Dial-up
Connections, then double-tap the Ethernet Settings icon to display the Ethernet Settings dialog.
Dynamic IP Address Assignment
If network addresses are automatically assigned:
1. Tap the Obtain an IP address via DHCP button on the IP Address tab.
2. Tap OK.
3. Double-tap Ethernet Settings again to review, on both the IP Address and Name Servers
tabs, the IP addresses dynamically resolved for your Tablet.
4. Tap the dialog’s close box.
Note: DHCP supports a mix of dynamic and static IP addresses, so you can also specify static IP addresses
(if your system administrator says they are needed) in the Primary DNS and Secondary DNS fields.
Static IP Address Assignment
If your system administrator provides specific network addresses to enter into the Ethernet
Settings dialog box:
1. Tap the Specify an IP Address button on the IP Address tab.
2. Enter the specified network addresses in the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway
fields.
3. Tap the Name Servers tab, and enter IP addresses in the Primary DNS and Secondary DNS
fields.
4. Tap OK.
