Compaq iPAQ H3000 manual To create a modem connection to a network

To create a modem connection to a network:

1.Get the following information from your network administrator: dial-up access tele- phone number, user name, password, domain name, and TCP/IP settings.

2.Install a CompactFlash modem card using the optional iPAQ CF Card Expansion Pack or a PCMCIA modem card using the optional iPAQ PC Card Expansion Pack.

3.Tap then Settings. On the Connections tab, tap Modem.

4.Tap New connection.

5.Enter a name for the connection, such as “Company Connection.”

6.Select your modem type in the Select a modem list. If your modem type does not appear, try reinserting the modem card.

NOTE: You should not need to change any settings in Advanced. Most servers now use a server- assigned address. If the server you are connecting to does not use a server-assigned address, tap Advanced then the TCP/IP tab and enter the address. When finished, tap OK then Next.

7.Enter the access phone number, and tap Next.

8.Select other desired options, and tap Finish.
