Networking (Compact 7)

3/12/2014

Learn about adding support for connecting Windows Embedded Compact 7 devices to a network, plus links to reference information.

You can add support for connecting a Windows Embedded Compact powered device to a network, such as a Wi-Fi network, a Cellular Radio (CellCore) network, or a wired local area network (LAN).

You can also add network technologies, such as Windows Filtering Platform or a Firewall Service to filter network traffic, or the Telephony API (TAPI) to make phone calls over a network connection.
