from a variety of available PC Card modems∗, Bluetooth 
devices, and LAN cards. (For more information about 
compatible PC Card modems and other PC Card 
communication devices, go to the HP Jornada Accessories page 
on the HP Jornada Web site at www.hp.com/jornada
.) 
 A PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) or SLIP (Serial Line 
Internet Protocol) account—An Internet service provider 
(ISP) will provide you with important information, such as a 
user name, password, dial-up telephone number, server 
names, and so on. 
 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 if your HP Jornada has a built-in modem. If you 
use a PC card modem, check the manufacturer’s instructions 
for telephone line compatibility.  
If you use the HP Jornada internal modem, you must use an 
analog telephone line to connect your modem. Connecting to a 
digital telephone line can damage your modem. 
 
Connecting to corporate e-mail and network from 
off-site 
 
 
Typical corporate LAN remote (off-site) connection 
If you want dial-up access to corporate e-mail and Internet 
services when you are offsite, then, in addition to the items 
necessary for a personal internet connection listed above, you will 
need: 
                                                                
 ∗ Modem purchased separately. Some Web sites/content may not be 
available.

 An account with your corporate network set for dialing 
in to your network server—Your network administrator 
can provide you with important information, such as a user 
name, password, dial-up telephone number(s), server names, 
and so on. 
Connecting to corporate e-mail and network  
resources on-site 
 
Typical corporate LAN on-site network connection 
If you want corporate e-mail and Internet service only (with no 
access offsite), you will need: 
 An installed network interface card (NIC)—that is 
properly configured with the IP address of your DNS and 
WINS servers (your network administrator can give you this 
information)  
 An account with your corporate network—including an 
IP address for your HP Jornada, if it is not dynamically 
assigned 
 A network (LAN) connection—a network cable with the 
appropriate connector for your NIC 
  For detailed instructions on how to connect your HP Jornada 
to a network via LAN cable, see Connecting directly to 
corporate e-mail and network resources through a 
network interface card (NIC) later in this chapter.

Once you have decided what type of connection method you need, 
you easily create and configure a Internet, intranet or network 
connection by following the instructions in the following pages. 
Since personal Internet and off-site corporate dialup connections 
methods are quite similar they are addressed first, followed by  
						

							 Chapter 6 | Accessing e-mail | 89 
  
instructions for creating an on-site connection to a local area 
network (LAN). 
Personal and corporate dialup connections 
Installing and configuring a modem 
If you purchased an HP Jornada with a built-in 56K V.90 modem, 
it is already setup for easy communication. No installation is 
required.  
The 56Kbps modem complies with V90 ITU 56K specifications 
and has a design capability of receiving data at up to 56Kbps 
from a compatible service provider, and transmitting data at 
up to 31.2Kbps. Public networks currently limit maximum 
download speeds to about 53Kbps. Actual speeds depend upon 
many factors and are often less than the maximum possible. 
 
 
Note that the UK version of HP Jornada does not support certain 
dialing properties. The HP Jornada built-in modem (on models 
equipped with a built-in modem) does not detect a dial tone 
before dialing. By default, the Wait for dial tone before dialing 
box is checked. The modem will dial even if there is no dial tone. 
It also does not support the pulse dial option. The modem dials 
using tone dial only. By default, tone dialing is selected. 
The HP Jornada supports a variety of available PC Card 
modems
*. (Check www.hp.com/jornada for more information on 
compatible PC card modems.) Follow the manufacturer’s 
instructions included with the PC Card modem to install and 
configure it for use with your HP Jornada. 
Getting an account with an Internet service provider  
To access the Internet and e-mail, you will need to contact an ISP 
to set up a PPP account. SLIP accounts are offered by some ISPs 
instead of PPP accounts. Your HP Jornada supports the use of 
SLIP as well as PPP.  
                                                                
 *Modem purchased separately. Some Web sites/content may not be 
available.

Your ISP will be able to give you all the configuration information 
you need to connect your HP Jornada to the Internet and e-mail 
service. Be sure to note the following: 
  Your account user name. 
  Your account password. 
  Telephone number of your ISP modem. 
  IP and DNS addresses, if necessary (most dial-up accounts are 
assigned addresses dynamically each time you connect). 
  Your e-mail user name or ID. (This may be the same as the 
user name for your ISP account.) 
  Your e-mail password. (This may be the same as the password 
for your ISP account.) 
  The POP3 or IMAP4 host name of your ISP.  
  The SMTP host name of your ISP (if required by your ISP). 
Setting up a dial-up connection to your ISP 
Use HP dialup to create a dial-up connection to the Internet or to 
a corporate network and to configure e-mail and Web services. 
After you have established an account with an ISP, you can set 
up a connection on your HP Jornada and connect to the Internet 
and your e-mail whenever you want. To make this configuration 
process easier, use the HP Jornada dialup application. The HP 
dialup Setup Wizard leads you through the process of 
configuring your connections. 
The first time you start HP dialup, the Setup Wizard leads you 
step-by-step through the processes of creating and configuring: 
  a connection to your service provider 
 a dialing location 
 an e-mail service 
 a Web service. 
The settings you create in HP dialup are used by several 
programs, including Remote Networking, Inbox, and Internet 
Explorer.

Connecting the telephone line 
After you have configured your connection to your ISP or LAN, 
you are ready to connect your telephone line to your built-in 
modem (on models equipped with a built-in modem) or PC Card 
modem and then dial in. Use this procedure to connect to an 
analog telephone line. If you are using a PC Card modem, follow 
the instructions provided by your modem manufacturer for 
connecting to a telephone line type supported by your modem. 
To connect an analog telephone line to your HP 
Jornada 
1.  Connect the telephone cord to the telephone jack. 
2.  Connect the other end of the telephone cord to the telephone 
connector on the side of your HP Jornada or to your PC Card 
modem (following the instructions provided by your modem 
manufacturer). 
 
 
Connecting to your Service Provider  
To establish a connection 
 
1.  On your Jornada desktop, double-click the HP dialup 
icon.
