Limited support is available for personal digital assistants (PDAs) and similar mobile devices. However, due to the complexity and variability of the PDA world, device-specific help is often not available. For basic PDA operations (synchronizing with the desktop computer, installing software, etc.), owners are best served by consulting the manufacturer's printed documentation, web site, and customer assistance facilities.

Wireless

There are many different wireless communication methods: cellular telephone, Bluetooth, infrared. NCSU's wireless operates on the IEEE standard 802.11b/g. Some classrooms may use 802.11a.

Connecting a Wi-Fi PDA at NCSU:

  • your PDA must have either an integrated or a plug-in 802.11b/g wireless card;
  • your PDA must have a web browser capable of connecting to secure web sites;
  • you must have an NCSU Unity username and password.

Make sure the Wi-Fi interface is turned on. Unlike laptops, most PDAs require you to turn on the wireless interface. It is usually off by default to conserve battery life.
