New GPRS account

For some accounts you may need to make advanced settings, provided by your ISP. Select Advanced and enter settings on the tabs as described below

GPRS Advanced tabs

Server	User name and password
	Normally, you do not have to enter a username and
	password when you connect to a GPRS account.
	However, some service providers may require you to
	enter these details.
	If you select the Username and password required
	check box, but do not enter a username and
	password, you will be prompted to enter these when
	the P910a connects.
	Address
	Enter the Internet address of your access point. The
	address is supplied by your service provider.

GPRS Advanced tabs

Log in	The settings on this tab deal with IP and DNS
	addresses.
	The DNS address uniquely identifies your Internet
	Service Provider (ISP)'s computers, which your
	P910a uses to connect to the Internet. Your P910a can
	normally fetch these addresses automatically from
	most ISPs.
	If, after setting up an Internet account, you cannot
	connect to the Internet and you suspect these
	addresses are incorrect, ask your ISP for their
	primary and secondary DNS addresses.
	An IP address consists of four 3-digit boxes and valid
	input is between 000 and 255 in each box.
Proxy	A proxy server is a computer connected between
	your P910a and the computer you communicate with.
	This arrangement can be used for connections to
	Remote Sync servers, or within a company network.
	If this setting is needed, your company's Information
	Services department or Remote Sync provider must
	give you instructions.
Other	If your ISP supports Point to Point Protocol (PPP)
	extensions, you can select the Enable PPP extensions
	check box. PPP extensions allow your P910a to
	provide features such as encryption, which increases
	the security of your Internet connection.
