SET ISP PHONE NUMBER: Once you get your access number you need to determine if
you will be dialing an alternate area code, and if you wish to disable "call waiting". Here
are some examples:
543-3256
Local number dialing. You may enter the hyphen or not. The modem
ignores hyphens. The number is usually a little easier to read with the hyphen.
1-408-543-3256
Alternate area code dialing. The 1 is almost always required by
most phone systems.
70#, 543-3256 The sequence 70#, causes the modem to dial the number 70# first and the
comma causes about a 5 second wait before dialing the remainder of the number. The

70# sequence in many areas will disable any "call waiting" feature you may have. If you
have call waiting and you don't disable it while sending and receiving email you may
lose your dial up connection.

*70, 543-3256 This shows an alternate sequence for disabling call waiting. Check with
your local phone provider to verify which sequence works in your area.
SET MAIL DOMAIN: An actual example is earthlink.net. Enter the name of your ISPs
domain name.
SET NAME SERVER: The name server is a group of 4 numbers separated by periods.
Each group can be 1 to 3 digits in length. An actual example for earthlink is
1
207.217.126.81
9
8
SET NAME SERVER2: Similar to above, but is usually different by a couple of digits.

An actual example for earthlink is 207.217.120.83. You must enter the appropriate
numbers for your ISP. The numbers shown for earthlink will only work for earthlink!!
LEAVE MSGS ON POP: This is a "toggle" setting. If you select it and press ENTER it
will change to "Remove msgs on POP". We recommend leaving it set to the default
setting "Leave msgs on pop". Since the QuickPAD PRO can only receive text
attachments and all others are filtered out you probably will want to leave these messages
on your server so you can retrieve the complete message with all attachments once you
return to your "home PC".

SET NET MASK: Enter 255.255.0.0 in most cases. This may change with some ISPs so
please check with your provider.
General information:
Email messages take on many forms with an incredibly wide variation of message
formats that continues to evolve. The header information in an email is different for each
type of email program that generates it. The "body" of the email can be comprised of
text, HTML, web pages, attachments, and in some cases includes java or other types of
scripting. The QuickPAD PRO email software attempts to filter the superfluous
information and only display the text portion of the email. Since the Pro cannot display

images or run scripts or programs from other computers these are filtered as well. The
