Network preferences

You can use your handheld’s Bluetooth technology and the software that is included in the handheld operating system to connect with Internet service providers (ISPs) or dial-in (remote access) servers using a mobile phone or optional modem accessory. Your mobile phone must be equipped with one of the following: an IR port, Bluetooth technology, or a serial cable that connects to your handheld’s universal connector. You also need an ISP account or corporate remote access account and a mobile phone carrier account that supports dial-up connections, or a mobile phone carrier account with high-speed wireless data network services.

You can also use your handheld’s Bluetooth technology and the software that is included in the handheld operating system to connect with a LAN access point

To use the e-mail or web browser software included with your handheld, you must create a configuration in Connection Preferences and then create Network Preferences settings. See “Connection Preferences” earlier in this chapter for a complete explanation of how to define Connection configurations that enable your handheld to communicate with remote devices.

After you configure both the Connection and Network Preferences, you can establish a PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) connection with your ISP or dial-in server. You can do this either by using menu commands from the Network Preferences screen or by using a third-party application.

NOTE The Network Preferences settings give you the ability to connect to your ISP or dial-in server with applications that support viewing the transmitted data. Visit the web site www.palm.com for information on third-party applications that take advantage of TCP/IP.
