Chapter 7: Getting Connected

Connect to the Internet

You can connect to your ISP, and use the connection to send and receive e-mail messages and
view Web or WAP pages.
You can connect to work in one of two ways:
• Create a modem connection. If this is the method you want to use, see "To create a modem
connection to an ISP."
• Use an Ethernet card and a net tap to connect to the network. If this is the method you want
to use, see "To create an Ethernet connection to an ISP."
To create a modem connection to an ISP:
1. Obtain the following information from your ISP: ISP dial-up access telephone number, user
name, password, and TCP/IP settings. Some ISPs require information in front of the user
name, such as MSN/username.
2. Connect your Maestro to a modem. You can use a connector cable to hook up to your wireless
phone, with data capabilities.
3. Tap and then Settings. In the Connections tab, tap Connections. Under The Internet
settings, select Internet Settings and tap Modify.
4. In the Modem tab, tap New.
5. Enter a name for the connection, such as "ISP Connection."
6. In the Select a modem list, select your modem type. If your modem type does not appear, try
re-inserting the modem card. If you are using an external modem that is connected to your
Maestro with a cable, select Hayes Compatible on COM1.
7. You should not need to change any settings in Advanced. Most ISPs now use a dynamically-
assigned address. If the ISP you are connecting to does not use a dynamically-assigned
address, tap Advanced and then the TCP/IP tab, and enter the address. When finished, tap
OK and then Next.
8. Enter the access phone number, and tap Next.
9. Select other desired options, and tap Finish.
10. In the Dialing Locations tab, specify your current location and phone type (most phone lines
are tone). These settings will apply to all connections you create.
