About the Wireless Portfolio
Welcome to the world of wireless data. The Wireless Portfolio is a compact,
wireless data solution that uses a Cellular Digital Packet Data (CDPD) modem,
allowing the transfer of data on the go (i.e., without wires). Wireless IP
(Internet Protocol) supports browser-based applications, giving you feature
rich capability with the Internet in your hand.
The Wireless Portfolio also incorporates the power of the Global Positioning
Satellite (GPS) system with a built in GPS module and antenna; enabling mobile
professionals to utilize mapping software to establish travel routes while
simultaneously retrieving mission critical data from a company database via the
Wireless Portfolio’s CDPD modem.
Enfora’s Wireless Portfolio is the first wireless IP modem/GPS device designed
to work exclusively with the IR port of any Personal Data Assistant (PDA). With
the power of wireless data and GPS, Enfora is revolutionizing the world of
Palm, PocketPC, handheld PC devices.
This Users Manual describes the use of Enfora’s Wireless Portfolio with a
Palm device. The Wireless Porfolio is compatible with Palm OS 3.5+. Please
If you have any questions regarding installation, set up, or operation of the
Wireless Portfolio, please contact Enfora Technical Support.

About this Manual

Registering with a Carrier

CDPD, short for Cellular Digital Packet Data, is also known as "Wireless IP".
It is a data transmission technology developed for use on cellular phone
frequencies. CDPD uses cellular channels (in the 800 to 900 MHz range) to
transmit data in packets. This technology offers data transfer rates of up to
19.2 Kbps, quicker call set up, and better error correction than using modems
on an analog cellular channel. CDPD is based on TCP/IP, the same protocols
that power the Internet. See the document on CD-ROM forAll About CDPD
Just as you would do with a cell phone, you must first register for service with a
local CDPD carrier. The Wireless Portfolio will work with any CDPD carrier.
Decide which carrier offers the best plan to meet your CDPD needs, then register
Typically, two service carriers will be available to a CDPD user. One will be
known as the A-side carrier and the other is know as the B-side carrier. You
may register with the A-side carrier, the B-side carrier, or both of the carriers.
Be sure to record this information. This information may be needed in order
to receive customer service and/or technical support.
Your cellular carrier may also provide you with additional information that is
needed for use with your third-party protocol stacks(s). Consult your protocol
stack documentation for information or call Enfora Technical Support regarding
The cellular carrier has the responsibility to warn you of any charges the carrier
may make to its operations and/or procedures that would affect your usage of the
When you register with a CDPD carrier, the carrier should give you the following

For information about your CDPD charges, you will need to contact your
CDPD carrier service. Charges will vary according to the CDPD service
provider you choose and the plan you select. Most carriers will offer several
CDPD plans that vary in rate and structure. Your carrier should explain
these items to you in detail when you consult them about registration.
CDPD Charges
Battery Operation
Prior to using the Wireless Portfolio, charge the new battery for at least 1 ½
hours. The Wireless Portfolio derives all off its power from a self-contained
battery pack, thereby ensuring no adverse effects on battery life of the host
Palm device. The Li-ion (Lithium-ion) polymer battery is composed of
Lithium, the lightest metal possessing the highest electrochemical potential.
Because of its light weight and high energy density, Lithium-ion batteries are
ideal for portable devices. Lithium-ion batteries have no memory effect or
Once charged the Wireless Portfolio should operate for hours under normal
transmit and receive operating conditions, although sustained transmition
inherently reduces the time between charge. In the event of a low battery,
connect the included charger to the Wireless Portfolio’s power jack. The
Wireless Portfolio is fully charged when the power indication LED displays
poisonous metals, and they have a long battery life (1290 mA hours).
