34 HP Jornada H/PC User’s Guide

Installing and configuring a modem

The HP Jornada 820 has a built-in 56K V.90 modem for easy communication, so no installation is required. The HP Jornada 820e supports a variety of available PC Card modems. (For more information about compatible PC Card modems, go to the HP Jornada Accessories page on the Hewlett-Packard Web site at www.hp.com/handheld.) Follow the manufacturer’s instructions included with the PC Card modem to install and configure it for use with your

HP Jornada.

Getting an account with an Internet service provider

To access the Internet and e-mail, you will need to contact an ISP to set up a PPP account. SLIP accounts are offered by some ISPs instead of PPP accounts. Your HP Jornada supports the use of SLIP as well as PPP.

Your ISP will be able to give you all the configuration information you need to connect your HP Jornada to the Internet and e-mail service. Please be sure to note the following:

•Your account user name.

•Your account password.

•Phone number of your ISP’s modem.

•IP and DNS addresses, if necessary.

•Your e-mail user name or ID. (This may be the same as the user name for your ISP account.)

•Your e-mail password. (This may be the same as the password for your ISP account.)

•The POP3 or IMAP4 host name of your ISP.

•The SMTP host name of your ISP (if required by your ISP).
