Network Preferences; Selecting A Service - HandEra 330 User Manual

Network Preferences

The Network Preferences settings enable you to use the TCP/IP
software that is included in the 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, configure all parameters relating to it
from the Preferences application.
To use TCP/IP, you must use one of the default connection
configurations listed in Connection Preferences that involves a
modem, either Serial to Modem or IrCOMM to Modem. You can
also create a configuration.
Connection Preferences settings enable your handheld
Note:
to use a modem to communicate with remote devices. For
example, you can communicate with your ISP server, or with
your computer if you are traveling. Refer to Connection
Preferences on page A-9 for a complete explanation on how
to configure modem parameters.
After you configure both the Network and Connection 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.

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.
