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.

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.
