Network preferences and TCP/IP software
The Network Preferences settings enable you to use the TCP/IP
software that is included in the organizer operating system. You can
use the TCP/IP software to connect with Internet Service Providers
(ISPs) or dial-in (remote access) servers. Because the TCP/IP software
is a feature of the operating system, you configure all parameters
relating to it from the Preferences application.
To use TCP/IP, you must create a configuration in Connection
Preferences and then create Network Preferences settings.
Note: The Connection Preferences screen enables you to define
several ways that your Palm V organizer can use the Palm V
Modem to communicate with remote devices. For example,
you can communicate with your ISP server, or with your
computer if you are away on travel. See "Connection
preferences" earlier in this chapter for a complete explanation
on how to create modem configurations.
After you configure both the Connection and Network Preferences,
you can establish a PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol), SLIP (Serial Line
Internet Protocol), or CSLIP (Compressed Serial Line Internet
Protocol) connection with your ISP or dial-in server. You can do this
either by using menu commands from the Network Preferences
screen or by using a third-party application.
Note: TCP/IP provides the ability to connect to your ISP or dial-in
server with applications that allow you to view the
transmitted data. Visit the web site
information on third-party applications that take advantage of
TCP/IP.
Selecting a service
Use the Service setting to select the service template for your Internet
Service Provider or a dial-in server. Service templates are a set of ISP
and dial-in server configuration settings that you can create, save, and
reuse.
