102 HP Jornada 680/680e User’s Guide

Web service information

If you choose to configure Web services, HP dialup prompts you to set options such as your Home and Search pages, AutoDial and Auto Disconnect, and Advanced options. Advanced options include enabling cookies, caching (and cache size), and security settings.

Proxy Server—Typically, you must specify a proxy server if you are connecting to the Internet over a network. Check with your network administrator to find out if you need to use a proxy server, and if so, the address of the server.

Home and Search pages—Set addresses for your Home and Search pages using this option.

AutoDial and Auto Disconnect—These options allow HP Jornada to connect and disconnect automatically from your Web service when an application (such as Inbox or Pocket Internet Explorer) requires access. Remember that your device needs to be connected to the telephone line before a connection is possible.

Pocket Internet Explorer appearance—Select the appropriate check box to show pictures, play sounds, or make the Web page fit in your device screen. Turning off pictures and sounds can increase the speed with which Web pages are displayed.

Advanced settings—Control some advanced Web service features with HP dialup. You can enable cookies and caching (up to 10% of available memory) and set security levels with this option.

Advanced security settings include the option to select from two versions of SSL (Secure Socket Layer) or PCT (Private Communication Technology). These protocols maintain the security and integrity of the transmission channel by using encryption, authentication, and message- authentication codes.
