LAN access points
A LAN access point enabled with Bluetooth technology provides an entry point
into a local area network. You can log onto these networks from your handheld to
access services such as e-mail and the Internet.
LAN access points can be located in private, corporate or in public areas. In some
cases there may be a fee to use a LAN access point. To access a LAN access point
from your handheld, you must set your Network Preferences as described in the
sections that follow.
Accessing the Internet with a Bluetooth phone or LAN access point
With your handheld’s built-in Bluetooth technology, you can connect to the
Internet using a Bluetooth mobile phone or a LAN access point. To connect to a
Bluetooth mobile phone or LAN access point, you must be within range of these
devices. If you have a GSM mobile phone and subscribe to high-speed wireless
data services with your mobile phone carrier, you can use these services to connect
to the Internet when you are within range of the high-speed wireless data network.
You can also configure Internet access with a GSM phone or high-speed wireless
data network using the Phone Link application. We recommend using Phone Link
to enter these settings. See
“Setting up a phone connection”
for
details. Use the steps described in this section only if you are unable to create a
connection with Phone Link and you have already used the Connection
Preferences screen to create a trusted pair for your phone, high-speed data
network, or LAN access point. See
“Creating Bluetooth connections”
chapter for additional information.
