Chapter 22 Setting Preferences for Your Handheld

404

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 give you the ability to connect to your ISP or dial-in

server with applications that support viewing the transmitted data. Visit the web site

www.palm.com/intl

for information on third-party applications that take advantage of

TCP/IP.

Creating and selecting network service profiles

Use network service profiles to store the configuration settings for your ISP or a

dial-in server. You can create, save, and reuse network service profiles. You can

create additional network service profiles from scratch or by duplicating existing

profiles and editing information. After you create a new or duplicate profile, you

can add and edit settings. You can also duplicate and rename a profile that you

created with Phone Link. This preserves the current Phone Link settings when you

use Phone Link to create a new phone connection. Otherwise, Phone Link erases

the current settings when it creates the new settings.

To add a new network service profile:

1. From the Communications Preferences list, select Network.

2. Tap New.

An Untitled network service profile appears in the Service pick list.

3. Tap Done.
