    							96  |  HP Jornada 680/680e User’s Guide
    If your HP Jornada has an internal modem (model 680), use the HP country selector
    application to configure the modem for use with your country’s telephone system before
    you connect. For more information, see the Traveling with your HP Jornada section
    in chapter 7.
    Dialing in
    When you are ready to dial in to your ISP, use the HP
    dialup window.
    To connect to your ISP
    1. Double-tap the HP dialup icon on your desktop. The
    HP dialup window appears.
    2. Select a location and a connection from the drop-
    down boxes, and then tap Continue.
    3. In the HP dialup dialog box, confirm the user
    name and password you use to connect to your ISP,
    and then select the modem you will use to dial the
    call.
    4. Check the telephone number, and then tap Dial. A
    progress message appears to tell you when you are
    connected to your ISP, and then an icon appears in
    the taskbar while you remain connected.
    After you are connected to your ISP, use the Inbox program
    to send and receive e-mail or use Pocket Internet Explorer
    to browse the Web. (For more information, see the Send- 
    						
    							Chapter 6  |  Accessing e-mail and the Web  |  97
    ing, receiving, and processing your e-mail and Brows-
    ing the Web or your intranet with Pocket Internet
    Explorer sections in this chapter.)
    To disconnect from your ISP
    1. Double-tap the HP connection icon in the status area
    of the taskbar.
    2. In the HP dialup window, tap Disconnect.
    When the HP connection icon is displayed in the status area
    of the taskbar, your HP Jornada is connected to your service
    provider. Be sure to disconnect from your service provider
    and to unplug the phone line from your HP Jornada when it
    is not in use.
    Connecting to corporate e-mail and network
    from offsite
    If you want dial-up access to corporate e-mail and Internet
    services when you are offsite, you will need:
    •An installed modem—If you have the
    HP Jornada 680, you have an internal modem, so you
    are ready to go. If you have the HP Jornada 680e, you
    can choose from a variety of available PC Card modems.
    (For more information about compatible PC Card
    modems, go to the HP Jornada Accessories page on the
    Hewlett-Packard Web site at 
    www.hp.com/jornada.)
    •An account with your corporate network set for
    dialing in to your network server—Your network
    administrator can provide you with important informa-
    tion, such as a user name, password, dial-up telephone
    number(s), server names, and so on. 
    						
    							98  |  HP Jornada 680/680e User’s Guide
    •A dial-up connection set up on your HP Jornada—
    HP dialup makes this step easy.
    •Access to a telephone line—You can connect to an
    analog telephone line with your HP Jornada 680. Or,
    connect to the telephone line supported by your PC
    Card modem if you have the HP Jornada 680e.
    If you use the HP Jornada 680, you must use an analog telephone line to connect your
    modem. Connecting to a digital telephone line can damage your modem.
    Installing and configuring a modem
    The HP Jornada 680 has a built-in 56K V.90 modem for
    easy communication, so no installation is required. The
    HP Jornada 680e supports a variety of available PC Card
    modems. (For more information about compatible PC Card
    modems, go to the HP Jornada Accessories page on the
    Hewlett-Packard Web site at 
    www.hp.com/jornada.) Follow
    the manufacturer’s instructions included with the PC Card
    modem to install and configure it for use with your
    HP Jornada.
    Establishing a network dial-up account
    Before you can log on to your network using a modem, you
    must establish a network account with your network
    administrator. Most likely, you will dial in to a server that
    has a modem installed to receive your call. The information
    you need for this connection is similar to the information
    needed to connect to the Internet through an ISP:
    •Your account user name.
    •Your account password.
    •Telephone number of the network server modem.
    •IP, DNS, and WINS addresses, if necessary.
    •Your e-mail user name or ID. (This may be the same as
    your network user name.) 
    						
    							Chapter 6  |  Accessing e-mail and the Web  |  99
    •Your e-mail password. (This may be the same as your
    network password.)
    •The network POP3 or IMAP4 host name.
    •The network SMTP host name (if required).
    Setting up a remote connection to your network
    After your network administrator has set up your account,
    you need to create a connection on your HP Jornada so that
    you can connect to your network, e-mail, and intranet
    (possibly including the Internet) easily whenever you want
    to. Use HP dialup to create the connection on your
    HP Jornada. HP dialup leads you through the process of
    configuring for your connections, including:
    •Setting up a connection to your network.
    •Setting up an e-mail service (if you choose E-mail
    service as an option).
    •Setting up a Web service (if you choose Web Service as
    an option). In this case, the Web may be your corporate
    intranet or the Worldwide Web.
    •Setting up a dialing location.
    You will have the opportunity to set the following options
    during the dial-up configuration process.
    Service provider connection
    This portion of the program allows you to name and save
    your network connection. You can create more than one
    connection (for example, one connection to your corporate
    network and one to your personal ISP). Choose a connec-
    tion name that will make it easy to determine which
    connection you want when you are ready to dial up. At this
    point, you will also complete the following tasks:
    Choose E-mail and/or Web service—You can choose
    one or both options. Your network administrator can tell
    you which options are available to you. 
    						
    							100  |  HP Jornada 680/680e User’s Guide
    Choose Typical or Advanced setup—Typical setup will
    automate most of the connection configuration by using
    default settings. Advanced setup allows you more control
    over setup options. Typical and Advanced setup options
    are offered at the beginning of each stage of the setup
    process: Service Provider (in this case, your network
    administrator), E-mail Service, and Web Service.
    Input Service Provider information—This includes
    information provided by your network administrator, such
    as the dial-up telephone number and IP, DNS, and WINS
    address settings. Many networks automatically (or, dy-
    namically) assign both IP and DNS addresses. If your
    network does not assign these automatically, you should
    clear the Server-assigned addresses option and type the
    addresses.
    When you enter the IP address, you can also choose to use
    SLIP (Serial Line Internet Protocol) if your network uses
    this protocol. PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) is the default
    protocol for this option, but SLIP is supported as well. If
    you have a SLIP account, select the Use SLIP check box
    during the IP setup portion of the HP Jornada dialup
    configuration process.
    You also have the option to choose software and IP header compression options. Ask your
    network administrator if these options are recommended for your account.
    E-mail service
    If you choose to configure an e-mail service, HP dialup will
    prompt you to enter the following information:
    UserID and password— The user name (UserID) and
    password you use to access your e-mail account may be the
    same as the user name and password you use to log on to
    your network. However, sometimes another name and
    password are used for this service. 
    						
    							Chapter 6  |  Accessing e-mail and the Web  |  101
    Service types—Your network may use POP3 or IMAP4
    protocol for receiving mail. In addition, some networks use
    SMTP for sending messages. Refer to your network adminis-
    trator to find out if this applies to your configuration.
    Settings—You can choose a variety of E-mail service set-
    tings. If your mail server supports MIME formatting (Multi-
    purpose Internet Mail Extensions) encoding (POP3 servers
    only), you can select an option to allow binary files to be sent
    as attachments to e-mail messages. You can also set e-mail
    services to:
    •Disconnect after actions are performed
    •Check for new mail at specified intervals
    •Display a message or sound an alarm when new mail
    arrives
    •Only display messages from a specified number of recent
    days
    •Download only message headers (you can review headers
    and decide whether to download message bodies the next
    time you connect)
    •Download full copies of all messages (you can review
    messages and decide whether to download attachments
    the next time you connect)
    The default options offer the settings used by many service providers. If you are not sure,
    or you do not have guidance from your network administrator, try the default settings. 
    						
    							102  |  HP Jornada 680/680e User’s Guide
    Web service information
    If you choose to configure Web services, HP dialup prompts
    you to set options such as your Home and Search pages,
    AutoDial and Auto Disconnect, and Advanced options.
    Advanced options include enabling cookies, caching (and
    cache size), and security settings.
    Proxy Server—Typically, you must specify a proxy server
    if you are connecting to the Internet over a network.
    Check with your network administrator to find out if you
    need to use a proxy server, and if so, the address of the
    server.
    Home and Search pages—Set addresses for your Home
    and Search pages using this option.
    AutoDial and Auto Disconnect—These options allow
    HP Jornada to connect and disconnect automatically from
    your Web service when an application (such as Inbox or
    Pocket Internet Explorer) requires access. Remember that
    your device needs to be connected to the telephone line
    before a connection is possible.
    Pocket Internet Explorer appearance—Select the
    appropriate check box to show pictures, play sounds, or
    make the Web page fit in your device screen. Turning off
    pictures and sounds can increase the speed with which
    Web pages are displayed.
    Advanced settings—Control some advanced Web service
    features with HP dialup. You can enable cookies and
    caching (up to 10% of available memory) and set security
    levels with this option.
    Advanced security settings include the option to select
    from two versions of SSL (Secure Socket Layer) or PCT
    (Private Communication Technology). These protocols
    maintain the security and integrity of the transmission
    channel by using encryption, authentication, and message-
    authentication codes. 
    						
    							Chapter 6  |  Accessing e-mail and the Web  |  103
    When you use HP dialup to connect to your ISP, the Web options you set in HP dialup
    take precedence over any options you may have set in Pocket Internet Explorer.
    Location information
    Your location settings set your dialing options with respect
    to your dialing location. These settings include the city and
    state/province you are dialing from, country code, area
    code, plus other dialing options. You will also be able to
    save and name this group of settings as a profile, so you
    can choose among more than one profile when you dial up.
    For instance, you can create one connection profile for
    dialing from your office and another profile for dialing
    from your home.
    After you collect the necessary information, you are ready
    to start HP dialup.
    To create your connection profile
    1. Double-tap the HP dialup icon on your HP Jornada
    desktop.
    2. Fill in the information requested in each screen.
    3. When you are finished, tap Done.
    After you complete this configuration process, you can
    select the connection profile from the drop-down list in the
    HP dialup window.
    If you have already created one connection profile using HP dialup, you can add another
    by tapping the Edit button next to the Connection box in the HP dialup window, and
    then tapping Create New Connection.
    Connecting the telephone line
    After you have configured a connection to your network,
    you are ready to connect the telephone line to your built-in
    modem or PC Card modem and then to dial in. Use this
    procedure to connect to an analog telephone line. Follow
