4 58 Global Positioning System (GPS) Chapter 4 Global Positioning System (GPS) ENWW
Configuring GPS on Your HP iPAQ 1. Set up the HP iPAQ. 2. Verify you have Internet access on your HP iPAQ by visiting a web site such as www.google.com or www.yahoo.com. If necessary, cradle your HP iPAQ, then try to access the Internet again. 3. Verify the correct date and time on your HP iPAQ. 4. Download the Quick GPS Connection Data File. Refer to the sections below for details on how to complete each step.
a proxy server, on your PC, launch Internet Explorer and click Tools > Internet Options > Connections tab > LAN Settings button. ● If the “Use automatic configuration script” option is selected and the associated “Address” field is filled in, then you may be accessing the Internet through a proxy server. Contact your network administrator for the proxy server name and port number.
Verifying Compatibility All HP iPAQ Global Positioning System (GPS) enabled devices come with HP iPAQ compatible GPS navigation software solutions. Depending on the region of the world where you purchase your device, solutions are either pre-installed on the device, downloaded from the Internet, or installed using CDs.
Configuring My GPS Software to Connect to My HP iPAQ's GPS Receiver All GPS software applications need to know which communications port to use to access GPS data. Your HP iPAQ already has the GPS port specified for the GPS software applications that came with the device. However, if you install additional GPS applications onto your HP iPAQ GPS enabled device, you may need to specify the GPS port in your GPS application's configuration settings.
Managing GPS Automatically Your GPS enabled HP iPAQ uses Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0, so the operating system automatically manages access to the HP iPAQ GPS receiver to allow multiple programs to simultaneously access GPS data. If your GPS enabled HP iPAQ does not automatically discover the GPS receiver on your device, set your GPS application's configuration settings to COM8 and a baud rate of 57600. If you need help, refer to the documentation that came with your GPS software application.
Identifying the COM Port for My GPS Receiver The GPS receiver on your GPS enabled HP iPAQ is set to COM8 and a baud rate of 57600.
Identifying Your HP iPAQ's Embedded Receiver The GPS receiver in your HP iPAQ is the GL20000 from Global Locate and is software upgradeable. The GL20000 is a high sensitivity GPS receiver with Quick GPS Connection technology, so under normal use there is no need for an external antenna.
Improving a Slow GPS Connection To improve GPS connection performance on HP iPAQ GPS enabled device(s), you need to download the latest HP iPAQ Quick GPS Connection data file and check if the HP iPAQ Quick GPS Connection Utility is enabled so you can receive automatic updates.
Losing The GPS Signal While in My Car GPS performance on the HP iPAQ may be affected if the vehicle has thermal glass windows and windshields, which can block the HP iPAQ from receiving a GPS signal from satellites. To improve GPS signal strength, place the HP iPAQ where there is a clear view of the sky or on the dashboard of a vehicle that does not have thermal glass windshields. A direct line of sight is required between the HP iPAQ and the GPS satellites to access information from the satellites.
Losing the GPS Signal Frequently To improve the satellite signal to the GPS enabled HP iPAQ, go outdoors to start the GPS navigation software. Place the HP iPAQ where there is a clear view of the sky or on the dashboard of a vehicle that does not have thermal glass windshields or windows. NOTE Interference might take place close to tall buildings or large trees, and under very cloudy or overcast skies, all of which can block the satellite signal from reaching the HP iPAQ.
Common Reasons For Interference When Using GPS Software ENWW Interference Type How to Avoid Vehicles with thermal glass windows and windshields Place the HP iPAQ where there is a clear view of the sky or on the dashboard of a vehicle that does not have thermal glass windows. Cell Phones or other equipment radiating Radio Frequency (RF) energy or emitting strong electromagnetic radiation.
5 70 Security Chapter 5 Security ENWW
Using HP ProtectTools In addition to the security available from Microsoft, your HP iPAQ has a more robust security option known as HP ProtectTools, which helps protect your HP iPAQ by providing authentication and encryption of E-mail, Calendar, Contacts, Notes, Tasks, files stored in the My Documents folder, and data stored on expansion cards. When you enable HP ProtectTools, you may have the option of entering a PIN and/or password to access the HP iPAQ.
Setting Up HP ProtectTools You should only need to set up security one time. You can make changes to any of your security settings at a later time without going through the setup procedure again. 1. Install HP ProtectTools from the Getting Started CD, and then set up security on your HP iPAQ. 2. On your HP iPAQ, tap Start > Settings > Personal tab > HP ProtectTools. 3. The security configuration screen displays the message “Do you want to configure HP ProtectTools security on your device?” Tap Yes. 4.
NOTE It is recommended that you use the default, AES. ● Select which data you want encrypted. If you select to have the My Documents folder encrypted, you can also choose whether to encrypt media files (for example, audio or video files). Media files often take longer to encrypt and decrypt than other file types. ● Select whether you want the encryption status displayed. Selecting this option allows you to monitor the encryption/decryption process. 11. Tap Next. 12.
Unlocking Your HP iPAQ ● Enter your PIN and/or password when prompted. If you successfully enter the requested information, the device unlocks. ● After the number of attempts you selected during setup, if you still do not successfully enter your PIN and/or password correctly, you are prompted to answer the hint question you defined. If you successfully answer your hint question, the device unlocks.
Encrypting/Decrypting Data If your HP iPAQ has been off for longer than the time you selected during setup, your data is encrypted. When you turn the device on, you are prompted to authenticate using your PIN and/or password. After successful authentication, your data is decrypted. This may take a few moments depending on the amount of data you chose to have encrypted. However, encryption runs in the background, and you can perform other tasks on your HP iPAQ during this time.
Changing Your HP ProtectTools PIN or Password To change your PIN or password: 76 1. Tap Change Passwords. 2. Enter your current PIN or password to authenticate yourself. 3. Select the information you want to change (PIN/password or Question/Answer pair), then tap the Change button. 4. Follow the on-screen instructions to make the change.
