As the name implies, Cresotech PocketLANce is a software for operations with LAN from a Windows CE device (Pocket PC). Cresotech PocketLANce expands the functionality of your Pocket PC to that of an actual workstation with an access to the enterprise Windows network resources. This software installation saves you the trouble of using ActiveSync each time you want to copy a file to/from PDA device. As far as future versions appear, Pocket PC users will be able to access their network directly, bypassing desktop PC. This will help to completely eliminate the gap between Pocket and Desktop PC applications. Application of Cresotech PocketLANce needs no additional software drivers/libraries or hardware. In order to use Cresotech PocketLANce, you don’t even need to have a PC card! On the other hand, PC card will significantly increase the speed of network connections resulting in more efficient and comfortable work.

PocketLANce also opens far-reaching possibilities of remote mobile network access via mobile phone or modem using RAS (Remote Access Service) or DUN (Dial-Up Networking). It allows external users and mobile professionals to access the local network anytime and anywhere, as if they were locally connected to the enterprise LAN.

NETWORK ACCESS

Thus, PocketLANce provides three options of the network access: by a conventional ActiveSync/cradle connection, by using a network card, and, finally, a wireless access to LAN via mobile phone or modem using RAS (Remote Access Service) or DUN (Dial-Up Networking). Let us take a closer look at these three options.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Starting from version 1.05, PocketLANce can work without ActiveSync connection when using network cards. So, if the network card is installed, placing your Pocket PC into cradle is no more necessary.

Other efficient way of wireless operation mode is based on the use of RAS/DUN technology.

I. ActiveSync cradle connection. Each Windows CE-device being equipped with a cradle and ActiveSync software, all Pocket PC users can apply PocketLANce to browse their LANs using this option.

II. Network card connection. Network card use significantly increases the speed of network connections resulting in more efficient and comfortable work. Using PocketLANce with a network card enables you to move/copy large audio, video or multimedia files from LAN to your Pocket PC and vice versa in a flash!

III. RAS/DUN connection. This unique feature delivers true mobility to Pocket PC users! It allows accessing local area network anytime from any place using mobile phone or modem, provided either RAS or DUN service is installed on the LAN workstation.

IV. Peer-to-Peer connection. PocketLANce in Peer-to-Peer mode enables direct data exchange between two Pocket PC devices without need for network access.
