Network Parameter descriptions To assist you in understanding the other Network Parameters, lets look at Roger Wilco's Network Parameters: u E-Mail address: [email protected] u E-Mail Login: wilco u E-Mail Password******* u Password Confirmation ******* u POP Server address:mailhost.provider.net u SMTP Server address:mailhost.provider.net Roger has a dialup SLIP/PPP account to his Internet Service Provider (ISP) which has a domain name of "provider.net". Roger's E-Mail Login is "rwilco", which he defined when he established his Internet account with his ISP. The E-Mail login is used along with his provider's domain name to construct his E-Mail address: "[email protected]". His ISP's POP Server (retains e-mail sent to you by other users) and SMTP Server (used to send e-mail from you to other users) are both named "mailhost" which is used along with his provider's domain name to construct the POP and SMTP Server addresses: "mailhost.provider.net". If you do not know or are not sure of the values for some of these parameters, check your E-Mail program's (e.g., Eudora) setup screen, check your Web browser's (e.g., Netscape) setup screen or consult your Internet Service Provider. If you can only find your SMTP Server address, you can probably safely assume your POP Server address is identical. Changing your E-Mail Address In the event you change your e-mail address (e.g., you change your Internet service provider), you will need to change your E-Mail address in the Network Parameters section of the Creative Video Webphone Configure window. A message will be displayed when your e-mail address change has been confirmed. 11

Network Parameter descriptions
To assist you in understanding the other Network Parameters, lets look
at Roger Wilco’s Network Parameters:
E-Mail address: [email protected]
E-Mail Login: wilco
E-Mail Password*******
Password Confirmation *******
POP Server address:mailhost.provider.net
SMTP Server address:mailhost.provider.net
Roger has a dialup SLIP/PPP account to his Internet Service Provider
(ISP) which has a domain name of “provider.net”. Roger’s E-Mail
Login is “rwilco”, which he defined when he established his Internet
account with his ISP. The E-Mail login is used along with his
provider’s domain name to construct his E-Mail address:
His ISP’s POP Server (retains e-mail sent to you by other users) and
SMTP Server (used to send e-mail from you to other users) are both
named “mailhost” which is used along with his provider’s domain
name to construct the POP and SMTP Server addresses:
“mailhost.provider.net”.
If you do not know or are not sure of the values for some of these
parameters, check your E-Mail program’s (e.g., Eudora) setup screen,
check your Web browser’s (e.g., Netscape) setup screen or consult
your Internet Service Provider. If you can only find your SMTP Server
address, you can probably safely assume your POP Server address is
identical.
Changing your E-Mail Address
In the event you change your e-mail address (e.g., you change your
Internet service provider), you will need to change your E-Mail
address in the Network Parameters section of the Creative Video
Webphone
Configure window. A message will be displayed when
your e-mail address change has been confirmed.
