Network preferences and TCP/IP software 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. 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 www.palm.com 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 ISP or dial-in server. Service templates are a set of ISP and dial-in server configuration settings that you can create, save, and reuse. To select a service: 1. Tap the Service pick list. Tap here to display a list of service templates 2. Tap the predefined service template you want to use. 151
