Note: iPass makes a client for WindowsCE, and PalmOS PDAs.<br /> Please see our iPass documentation page for more info. The following<br /> information is old, but being supplied as it has pointers to useful info<br /> on the phonebook format and scripting info of how the iPass software<br /> works.<br /> <br /> <br /> ====Resolution====<br /> Windows CE and Psion<br /> --------------------<br /> Currently, iPass does not offer formal support for Windows CE or Psion handheld<br /> devices, and does not provide technical support for these platforms. We are<br /> investigating full-function dialers for handhelds which include two features <br /> critical to iPass users: support for scripting, and remote phone book updates.<br /> <br /> Some technical users may want to use an unsupported work-around appropriate for<br /> connecting each device to the Internet via the iPass network with their handheld<br /> devices. These work-arounds normally require that the user locate and manually<br /> enter a script to identify the dial-in user as an iPass user. <br /> (This scripting is handled invisibly and automatically on iPass dialers for<br /> and automatically on iPass dialers for Windows 95/98/NT and Macintosh.)<br /> <br /> Handheld users can follow these directions for Windows CE and Psion. This can <br /> give access to iPass&#039; entire network of 5000+ POPs. <br /> <br /> Psion Series 5 Work-Around<br /> --------------------------<br /> Psion New Zealand has created a dialer (unsupported) for Psion that includes <br /> scripts and is found at http://www.psion.co.nz/.<br /> <br /> Windows CE Work-Around for iPass Network Connections<br /> ----------------------------------------------------<br /> Chris De Herrera&#039;s Windows CE Website offers a workaround solution which is<br /> described in an article posted on his website &quot;Getting Connected to iPass with<br /> Windows CE&quot;. <br /> <br /> iPass does not currently support Windows CE because Windows CE dialers can not<br /> implement dial-in scripts and the majority of iPass POPs require the running of<br /> scripts after modem negotiation. <br /> <br /> The contents of the scripts, however, can be entered manually. There are some<br /> users doing this successfully, although we do not recommend that non-technical<br /> users attempt this work-around. If you want to try accessing the iPass network <br /> via Windows CE, you you need to contact your iPass ISP partners or iPass<br /> Solution Partner and ask for the following files: <br /> <br /> ipass.ipb <br /> imp-w95.scp <br /> moz-w95.scp <br /> ntt-w95.scp <br /> sci-w95.scp <br /> uun-w95.scp<br /> <br /> <br /> All files with .scp extension are script files. As stated earlier, most of <br /> iPass POPs require the running of one of these files (scripts). POP-specific<br /> is provided in the ipass.ipb phonebook. The contents of the scripts are case<br /> sensitive. <br /> <br /> An entry from the ipass.ipb may look like the following, with fields separated <br /> by |.<br /> <br /> 108|DZ|213|2|741200|Algiers||104408|sci-w95.scp|S104408/||0|<br /> <br /> <br /> (You can open *.ipb files with WordPad or similar applications.) <br /> <br /> This is the detailed explanation of each field: <br /> <br /> ISP code|country code|TAPI country id|area code|phone|city|region|<br /> unique POP id|script file|username prefix|username suffix|flags|price<br /> <br /> <br /> First, you will first need to identify the city/state (field 6 &amp; 7) you want <br /> to dial into, the POP number (field 3, 4, 5), the prefix to insert in front<br /> of the username (field 10), and the script to run after the modem negotiates<br /> (field 9). If the prefix and script fields are blank, then they are not<br /> required to access that number. <br /> <br /> For example, to connect to the above location from within Algiers, dial 741200.<br /> After modem picks up, run through the contents of the sci-w95.scp script and <br /> enter in S104408/username@domain with password when called upon to do so by <br /> the script. <br /> <br /> Once again, this manual way of connection is not the easiest. iPass delivers<br /> full-function client dialers for Windows 95/98/NT and Macintosh that <br /> transparently handle all required scripting, making connections to the iPass<br /> network quick and simple. As we locate appropriate dialer software for <br /> handheld platforms, we will build in similar scripting features that will make<br /> Windows CE even easier to use as your worldwide computing device.<br /> <br /> <br /> ====Related URLS====<br /> http://www.cewindows.net/wce/ipass.htm<br /> <br /> <br /> ====Related KB articles====<br /> [[KB 71]] Can I use iPass with my Windows CE PDA?</div>
