Advanced Software Installation

Advanced Users Only!
If you do not want to use the application installer to install Socket’s modem
software, you can install the software from a CAB (cabinet) file. The CAB
file contains all the necessary software and drivers for your product to be
installed on a specific Pocket PC platform. CAB files are available both on
the installation CD (in the CABs folder) and online at:
www.socketcom.com/support/support_cordless.asp?Type=Modem
In order to install the CAB file, you need a way to transfer the CAB file to
your Pocket PC, such as:
• Use Microsoft ActiveSync to transfer the CAB file to your Pocket PC.
Windows Mobile 5.0 devices require ActiveSync 4.0 or greater.
• Use a memory card reader to save the CAB file from your desktop PC
to a memory card, then insert the memory card into your Pocket PC.
• If your Pocket PC has Internet access, download the CAB file directly
from Socket’s website to your Pocket PC.
1. Transfer the correct CAB file to your Pocket PC. Refer to the chart
below to determine the correct file for your Pocket PC version. If
transferring the CAB file with ActiveSync or downloading the CAB file
directly to your Pocket PC, remember where you save the file.
