100 HP Jornada 680/680e User’s Guide

Choose Typical or Advanced setup—Typical setup will automate most of the connection configuration by using default settings. Advanced setup allows you more control over setup options. Typical and Advanced setup options are offered at the beginning of each stage of the setup process: Service Provider (in this case, your network administrator), E-mail Service, and Web Service.

Input Service Provider information—This includes information provided by your network administrator, such as the dial-up telephone number and IP, DNS, and WINS address settings. Many networks automatically (or, dy- namically) assign both IP and DNS addresses. If your network does not assign these automatically, you should clear the Server-assigned addresses option and type the addresses.

When you enter the IP address, you can also choose to use SLIP (Serial Line Internet Protocol) if your network uses this protocol. PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) is the default protocol for this option, but SLIP is supported as well. If you have a SLIP account, select the Use SLIP check box during the IP setup portion of the HP Jornada dialup configuration process.

You also have the option to choose software and IP header compression options. Ask your network administrator if these options are recommended for your account.

E-mail service

If you choose to configure an e-mail service, HP dialup will prompt you to enter the following information:

UserID and password— The user name (UserID) and password you use to access your e-mail account may be the same as the user name and password you use to log on to your network. However, sometimes another name and password are used for this service.
