Nokia Mobile Phones
Communicator User guide for instructions on how to create new Internet access points. The following sections
describe the technical details of the different settings.
WAP connections require extra information in addition to Internet access points, such as the WAP gateway address.
This information is called the WAP access point.
2.3.1 Internet Connections
Preferred connection lists the IAP which is used by default in the Web browser.
If idle, stay online determines the time the data call is open if no other data traffic occurs than PPP/LCP
EchoReqeust/EchoReply frames. Available selections are 2, 5, 10, and 60 minutes.
Show connection dialog is for the users who want to select the IAP to be used when calling out. If this field is set to
"Yes", the connection dialog will be displayed every time a data call is opened and the application does not explicitly
request a certain IAP. When the connection dialog is displayed, some other IAP can be selected instead of the default
(preferred) IAP. If the connection dialog is disabled, all data calls are established using the preferred IAP unless the
application explicitly selects the IAP to be used.
2.3.2 Enter Your Account and Connection Details
Connection name can be any string of characters like "Corporate Dial-in #1". The purpose of this field is to name the
connection with user-readable names.
Phone number field is for the remote access server phone number. The number can be entered in the international
form with the plus mark "+" preceding all numbers and the country code, or just in national form. Most access servers
use the same phone number for analog and ISDN calls, but the connection method must be defined by the user when
creating a new IAP (See Advanced settings/Data call).
Prompt password contains two options "Yes" and "No". If "Yes" is selected, the access server password is prompted
when PPP authentication occurs. This feature is useful when using one-time-password systems, or as an added
security measure (the password will not be stored in the device). If this option is set to "Yes" and login scripts are
used, the password is prompted and placed in the login_pass$ variable before executing the script. If the option is set
to "No", the password to be used will be taken from the password field.
Password and Confirm password fields are for storing the static access server password. The password must be entered
in both fields to prevent typing mistakes.
2.3.3 Advanced Settings for IAP: Proxies
Protocol lists HTTP and HTTPS (HTTP over SSL). The user can choose whether to use a proxy server for the selected
protocol when using this IAP. For HTTPS, the proxy server must support the Netscape tunnelling protocol (the
CONNECT method). All other proxy settings are linked to the selected proxy protocol, that is, if another proxy protocol
is selected, it can have totally different settings.
Port number is the port number of the proxy server. Proxy servers tend to run on ports 80, 8000, or 8080, but it
depends on the configuration and can be any TCP port.
Use proxy server defines if a proxy is to be used for this protocol when using this IAP.
Proxy server contains the proxy server name or IP address.
