3. Tap the Speed pick list and select the appropriate speed. 4. Enter the initialization string supplied by the documentation for the modem attached to your mobile phone, if necessary. 5. Tap OK, and then tap OK again to save the configuration. 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 and TCP/IP software The Network Preferences settings enable you to use the TCP/IP software that is included in the handheld operating system. You can use the TCP/IP software to connect with Internet Service Providers (ISPs) or dial-in (remote access) servers. Because the TCP/IP software is a feature of the operating system, you configure all parameters relating to it from the Preferences application. To use TCP/IP, you must create a configuration in Connection Preferences and then create Network Preferences settings. Note: 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 your ISP server, or with your computer if you are away on travel. See "Connection preferences"earlier in this chapter for a complete explanation on how to create modem configurations. After you configure both the Connection and Network Preferences, you can establish a PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol), SLIP (Serial Line Internet Protocol), or CSLIP (Compressed Serial Line Internet 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: TCP/IP provides the ability to connect to your ISP or dial-in server with applications that allow you to view the transmitted data. Visit the web site http://www.palm.com for information on third-party applications that take advantage of TCP/IP. Page 166 Setting Preferences for Your Handheld
