the Nordic ID mobile option to open the applet. What makes the situation fatal is
that the applet does not open although your PL3000 includes the mobile option.
You need the NID WWAN applet after you have installed a SIM card on your
PL3000. Using the applet you can connect your PL3000 to your service provider’s
(cellular data carrier’s) network.
Owner
An Owner applet applies mainly to user identification information. There are
the following tabs available to insert user information.
• ‘ Identification’ – you can specify general information on the owner of
the device such as name, company, and address details
• ‘Network ID’ – this user information is needed to gain access to
network resources such as file servers.
Password
If you need to protect against unauthorized party from gaining access to your
background system by using your PL3000 then with a Password applet you may
provide the device with a password protection. The password protection is applied
when the system powers on, or when the blank display is turned on again. In fact,
both of the situations refer to the transition from lower system power state to the full
power state. For example, if you ‘enable password protection for screen saver’ in
the Password applet, it means in practice as follows. When the screen has gone
blank, in the case of a user or system activity, the screen (or the whole device) is
turned on. Before a user gets into the system again he/she has to enter the
password.
When you specify password, use the soft-key input panel to make certain of
which characters your password actually is composed. If you mix, for instance,
numerals, lower case letters, and upper case letters, entering the password by
using the keypad is an awkward operation. Be aware that the soft-key input panel
is also available to enter the password when you log on.
PC Connection
With the help of a PC Connection applet you can disable or enable PC
connectivity, which is based on Microsoft ActiveSync technology across USB
medium by default. In the applet, you can also select ActiveSync medium but by
default there is only the USB to choose from.
PL3000 also supports ActiveSync connectivity over Bluetooth. When you
specify ActiveSync connection over the Bluetooth in the Bluetooth Device
Properties applet, the PC Connection applet gives two mediums to choose from:
USB and Bluetooth.
The PC connection over the USB requires the PL3000 USB driver for the
ActiveSync connectivity is installed on your Windows-based computer. The driver
is available either through the technical support of the Nordic ID or on the Nordic ID
website. The Microsoft ActiveSync is available on the Microsoft websites. Be aware
that on Windows Vista-based computers this data synchronizing technology is not
