Network Preferences
You can use your handheld’s Bluetooth technology and the software that is
included in the handheld operating system to connect with Internet service
providers (ISPs) or dial-in (remote access) servers by using a mobile phone or
optional modem accessory. Your mobile phone must be equipped with one of the
following: an IR port, Bluetooth technology, or a serial cable that connects to your
handheld’s universal connector. You also need an ISP account or corporate remote
access account and a mobile phone carrier account that supports dial-up
connections, or a mobile phone carrier account with high-speed wireless data
network services.
You can also use your handheld’s Bluetooth technology and the software that is
included in the handheld operating system to connect with a LAN access point.
To use the e-mail or web browser software included with your handheld, you must
create a configuration in Connection Preferences and then create Network
Preferences settings. See “Connection Preferences” earlier in this chapter for a
complete explanation of how to define Connection configurations that enable your
handheld to communicate with remote devices.
After you configure both the Connection and Network Preferences, you can
establish a PPP (Point-to-Point 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.
NOTE
Palm works with developers of third-party add-on applications to ensure the
compatibility of these applications with your new Palm™ handheld. Some third-party
applications, however, may not have been upgraded to be compatible with your new
Palm handheld. If you suspect that a third-party application is adversely affecting the
operation of your handheld, contact the developer of the application.
The Network Preferences settings enable you to connect to your ISP or dial-in server
with applications that support viewing the transmitted data. Visit the web site
www.palm.com
for information on third-party applications that take advantage of
TCP/IP.
