PocketLance Review:

Cresotech PocketLANce is a unique application allowing Pocket PC users to browse and manage LAN resources on their PDA devices. Designed for both personal and corporate use.

PocketLANce opens new horizons for business people, software developers, mobile professionals or home users: now they can work with their corporate or personal LAN resources using their Pocket PCs both outside and inside of their offices.

This application provides a unique easy-to-use option of locating, retrieving and moving/copying network files via conventional ActiveSync connection, network card or even mobile phone/modem.

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

	BROWSING LAN IN CRADLE MODE This is the most common way of using PocketLANce for browsing local network resources. To access network just insert your Pocket PC device into the cradle and install PocketLANce software both on desktop and Pocket PC. PocketLANce is ready to work as soon as ActiveSync connection is activated. To establish ActiveSync connection, install MS ActiveSync version 3.1 or higher software and specify the type of connection between your cradle and desktop computer in the "Connection Settings" of the File menu. This connection type is optimal regarding hardware cost (only standard equipment supplied with Pocket PC device is used).
	WIRELESS ACCESS TO YOUR LAN Mobile communication means, both usual mobile phones and special GSM cards for Pocket PC may be used for wireless access to LAN through PocketLANce. *Left Upper picture 1:* Combining your PocketLANce and Pocket PC with GSM card (Nokia PhoneCard 2 is featured on the photo) you are getting a real wireless mobile networking solution. This way is most efficient, all the components are integrated, making things much easier than with common mobile terminal. Left picture Bottom: the combination of CF modem and mobile phone is cost efficient solution too. The picure shows the connection option for mobile phone without infrared port through Xircom CompactCard GSM. One of most attractive for mobile users LAN access *Right Upper picture :* solutions with PocketLANce: mobile phone with infrared port and GSM modem (Siemens S-25 on the photo) and Pocket PC (Casio Cassiopeia E-125 on the photo). Pocket PC uses the mobile as modem for remote access to RAS server. For mobiles without infrared port but with modem, connective cable can be used to establish the connection between Pocket PC and mobile.
	LAN CONNECTION RATE IS SAME AS FOR DESKTOP PC Combined with your network card, PocketLANce browses you through your LAN really swiftly, comfortably and efficiently, adding more value to your network card. On the photo: Network card (Xircom CompactCard Ethernet 10) is attached to Pocket PC (Casio Cassiopeia E-125). LAN connection rate is the same as for common desktop PC.
	If your Pocket PC is equipped with a network card Cresotech PocketLANce allows you to remotely access other mobile devices. Peer-to-peer mode provides wireless connection like through wireless modem ensuring high data transfer speed peculiar to local area networks. Cresotech PocketLANce in Peer-to-Peer mode enables direct data exchange between two Pocket PC devices without need for network access. Using of Peer-to-Peer mode does not require obtaining of the list of network computers. That is why addressing Pocket PC is performed by specifying IP address of remote device directly. By default in Cresotech PocketLANce Peer-to-Peer mode is enabled with access to the folder "My Documents". But you can easily disable it in 'Settings' dialog. You can switch back to conventional work mode of PocketLANce by specifying IP address of the desktop PC, on which Cresotech PocketLANce Monitor is installed. You can use Cresotech PocketLANce in Peer-to-Peer mode exactly as by accessing network computers over LAN. Note: your network card driver should be configured as stated in documentation.
	BROWSING LAN VIA MODEM&COM CONNECTION PocketLANce solution through CF port/CF modem: a cost-effective option for accessing your site office documents from elsewhere. The usage of common modem along with CF port is possible. Right photo below shows conventional external modem connected to Socket Com expansion card. This is very convenient way to perform the remote RAS-server connection setup in this manner before trying other variants of remote connection.
