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

Username, your Password, and their Phone number, which your

P900 dials to connect to the Internet. If you have a High-Speed

Dial-Up account with your network operator you can increase the speed of your connection by making settings on the Speed tab under Advanced.

Tip To avoid having to change the phone number when you travel abroad: enter the international dialling prefix (for example '+') and the appropriate country code for your ISP.

For some accounts you may also need to make advanced settings.

Select Advanced and enter settings on the tabs as described below
