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 P908

 

uses to connect to the Internet. Your P908 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 P908 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 P908 to

 

provide features such as encryption, which increases

 

the security of your Internet connection.

GPRS Advanced tabs

 

Authentication is used by some network operators to

 

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.

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.

New Dial-Up or High-Speed Dial-Up account

Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) supplies you with your User name, your Password, and their Phone number, which your P908 dials to connect to the Internet. If you have a High-Speed Dial-
