IP address types

There are four different types of IP addresses:

IPv4: Consists of four 3-digit boxes and valid input is between 000 and 256 in each box.

IPv6: Consists of eight hexadecimal boxes and valid input is between 0000 and FFFF in each box.

IPv4 compatible: Consists of four 3-digit boxes and valid input is between 000 and 256 in each box.

IPv4 mapped: Consists of four 3-digit boxes and valid input is between 000 and 256 in each box.

IPv4 is the most common addressing method.

Proxy A proxy server is a computer connected between your P800 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 P800 to provide features such as encryption, which increases the security of your Internet connection.

Authenti

Authentication is used by some network operators to

cation

identify the mobile phone connecting to their GPRS

 

network. There are different methods, or protocols, for

 

doing this.

 

Normal: PAP (Password Authentication Protocol). The

 

user's username and password are transmitted over the

 

network in an unencrypted form.

 

Secure: CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication

 

Protocol). The user's username and password are never

 

transmitted over the network.

 

None: No authentication is required by the network

 

operator.

 

Your ISP may require plain text authentication. If you

 

select the Plain text authentication check box, the security

 

of your connection will decrease during the connection

 

process. Once you are connected, the security of your

 

connection will be restored.

QoS

Check with your network operator before changing any of

 

the QoS (Quality of Service) settings.

 

If your operator supports the use of Header compression,

 

selecting On can speed up your connection.

 

The settings Precedence, Delay, Peak rate, and Mean Rate

 

are all by default set to Subscribed, which means that your

 

operators default QoS (Quality of Service) values will

 

apply. Reliability is set as Class 3 by default.
