After you create the configuration, you need to set up the HotSync Manager of
your Desktop application and the HotSync application of your handheld to
perform a modem HotSync operation.
Network preferences
CAUTION
Network preferences settings are for advanced users only. Changing your
Network preferences settings affects you handheld’s ability to operate in a wireless
environment. Use the Wi-Fi preferences settings to change your network settings.
See
later in this chapter.
Your handheld supports 802.11b data connections and acts as a fully functional
data modem for circuit-switched connections over GSM.
Modem Accessory and TCP/IP software
Although your handheld is wirelessly enabled, you can also use TCP/IP software
that is included in the handheld operating system to connect with Internet service
providers (ISPs) or dial-in (remote-access) servers.
To use TCP/IP, you must create a configuration in the Connection Preferences
screen and then create Network Preferences settings.
The Connection Preferences screen enables you to define several ways that your
handheld can use a modem to communicate with remote devices. For example,
you can communicate with the service provider server, or with your computer if
you are traveling. See
later in this chapter for a complete
explanation of how to create modem configurations.
After you configure both the Connection and Network preferences, you can
establish a PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) connection with your service provider 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
TCP/IP enables you to connect to your service provider or dial-in server with
applications that allow you to view the transmitted data. Visit the web site
www.palm.com/support/globalsupport
for information on third-party applications
that take advantage of TCP/IP.
Selecting a service
Use the Service setting to select the service template for your service provider or
for a dial-in server. Service templates are a set of service provider and dial-in server
configuration settings that you can create, save, and reuse. Also, you can create
new service templates. See
“Creating additional service templates”
later in this
chapter.
