Page 180 Setting Preferences for Your Handheld Computer
Network preferences and TCP/IP software
The Network Preferences settings enable you to use the TCP/IP
software that is included in the handheld computer’s operating
system. You can use the TCP/IP software to connect with Internet
Service Providers (ISPs) or dial-in (remote access) servers. Because the
TCP/IP software is a feature of the operating system, you configure all
parameters relating to it from the Preferences application.
To use TCP/IP, you must use one of the default connection
configurations listed in Connection Preferences that involves a
modem, either Serial to Modem or IrCOMM to Modem. You can also
create a configuration.
Note: Connection Preferences settings enable your TRGpro
handheld computer to use a modem to communicate with
remote devices. For example, you can communicate with your
ISP server, or with your computer if you are away on travel.
See “Connection preferences” earlier in this chapter for a

parameters.
After you configure both the Network and Connection Preferences,
you can establish a PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol), SLIP (Serial Line
Internet Protocol), or CSLIP (Compressed Serial Line Internet
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.
Selecting a service
Use the Service setting to select the service template for your Internet
Service Provider or a dial-in server. Service templates are a set of ISP
and dial-in server configuration settings that you can create, save, and
reuse.
