Nokia 9290 manual Creating Internet connections, Connection details

6.1 Introduction

This chapter describes how to configure Internet settings manually to the Nokia 9290 Communicator to be able to access the Internet. Information concerning the correct settings must be obtained from the Internet service provider (ISP).

The service provider may be able to configure the access point for you via a special SMS message or a WWW page, which sets all the necessary Internet access settings. Please contact your Internet service provider (ISP) for details.

To obtain access to the Internet:

•The cellular network (GSM 1900) you use must support data calls

•The data service (also the High-speed (HSCSD) service if used) must be activated for your SIM card

•You must have obtained an Internet Access Point (IAP) from an Internet service provider

•You must have entered the proper Internet settings

For more information about using the Internet application, please refer to the User Guide of the Nokia 9290 Communicator.

The username and password are used for PPP (Point to Point Protocol) authentication and supplied to you by your Internet service provider. Some IAPs do not require the username and password; some IAPs may only require the phone number and the connection name.
