Nokia RM-230 manual Packet data, Data call

You may receive access point settings in a message from your service provider, or you may have preset access point settings in your phone.

To create a new access point or edit an existing access point, select Options > New access point or Edit. To create a new access point using the settings of an existing access point, scroll to an access point, and select Options > Duplicate access point.

Depending on the connection type selected in Data bearer, only certain settings are available. Fill in all fields marked with Must be defined or with an asterisk.

Contact your service provider for the following settings: Data bearer, Access point name (for packet data only), Dial-up number (for data call only), User name, Password, Authentication, Homepage, Data call type (for data call only), and Maximum data speed (for data call only).

Connection name—Enter a descriptive name for the connection.

Prompt password—If you must enter a new password every time you log onto a server, or if you do not want to save your password to the phone, select Yes.

If necessary, to define the internet protocol (IP) version, phone IP address, domain name system (DNS) servers, proxy server, and advanced data call settings, such as callback, PPP compression, login script, and modem initialization string, select Options > Advanced settings. Contact your service provider for the correct settings.

Packet data

The packet data settings affect all access points using a packet data connection.

Packet data connection—If you select When available and you are in a network that supports packet data, the phone registers to the packet data network and short messages are sent using a packet data connection. If you select When needed, the phone uses a packet data connection only if you start an application or function that needs it. The packet data connection can be closed when it is not needed by any application.

If there are no packet data services available and you have chosen When available, the phone periodically tries to establish a packet data connection.

Access point—The access point name is needed when you want to use your phone as a modem with your computer.

Data call

The data call settings affect all access points that use a GSM data call.
