Network preferences and TCP/IP software

The Network Preferences settings enable you to use the TCP/IP software that is included in the handheld computer’s 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 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.

Note: Connection Preferences settings enable your TRGpro handheld computer 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 away on travel. See “Connection preferences” earlier in this chapter 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.
