    nIf you enter a password, your handheld displays the word 
    “Assigned” in this field and does not prompt you to enter a 
    password during the login procedure.
    Note:If you are concerned about security, select the Prompt option 
    and do not enter a password.
    To enter a password:
    1. Tap the Password field.
    2. Enter the password you use to log into your server.

    Adding telephone settings
    When you select the Phone field, your handheld opens a dialog box in 
    which you define the telephone number you use to connect with your 
    ISP or dial-in server. In addition, you can also define a prefix, disable 
    Call Waiting, and give special instructions for using a calling card.
    Note:The Phone Setup dialog box works correctly for AT&T and 
    Sprint long-distance services. However, because MCI works 
    differently, MCI customers need to put the calling card 
    number in the Phone # field and the phone number in the Use 
    calling card field.
    To enter your server phone number:
    1. Tap the Phone field.
    2. Enter the phone number for your ISP or dial-in server.
    3. If you need to enter a prefix or disable Call Waiting, skip to those 
    procedures. Otherwise, tap OK.
    Entering a prefix
    A prefix is a number that you dial before the telephone number to 
    access an outside line. For example, many offices require that you dial 
    “9” to dial a number outside the building.
    To enter a prefix:
    1. Tap the Dial Prefix check box to select it.
    Enter your ISP phone 
    number here 
    						
    							Chapter 8 Page 213
    2. Enter the prefix. 
    3. Tap OK.
    Disabling Call Waiting
    Call Waiting can cause your session to terminate if you receive a call 
    while you are connected. If your telephone has Call Waiting, you need 
    to disable this feature before logging into your ISP or dial-in server.
    To disable Call Waiting:
    1. Tap the Disable call waiting check box to select it.
    2. Enter the code to disable Call Waiting on the Disable call waiting 
    line.
    Note:Each telephone company assigns a code to disable Call 
    Waiting. Contact your local telephone company for the 
    code that is appropriate for you.
    3. Tap OK.
    Enter your 
    prefix here Select this 
    box if you 
    need to use 
    a prefix
    Enter your disable 
    code here Select this 
    box if you 
    need to 
    disable Call 
    Waiting

    Using a calling card
    The Use calling card field enables you to use your calling card when 
    dialing your ISP or Intranet server. Keep in mind that there is usually 
    a delay before you enter your calling card number. When you define 
    your calling card number, you need to add commas at the beginning 
    to compensate for this delay. Each comma delays transmission of your 
    calling card number for two seconds.
    To use a calling card:
    1. Tap the Use calling card check box to select it.
    2. Enter your calling card number on the Use calling card line.
    Note:It’s a good idea to add at least three commas before your 
    calling card number to compensate for the cue delay.
    3. Tap OK.
    Connecting to your service
    After you set your Connection and Network Preferences, establishing 
    a connection to your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or your 
    company’s network (dial-in server) is easy.
    Note:If you are connecting to an ISP, you need a third-party 
    application, such as a web browser or news reader, to take 
    advantage of this connection. For information about third-
    party applications that support TCP/IP, check the web site 
    http://www.palm.com.
    To establish a connection:
    nTap Connect to dial the current service and display the Service 
    Connection Progress messages. 
    Tip:To see expanded Service Connection Progress messages, 
    press the lower half of the Scroll button.
    Enter your 
    calling card 
    number here Select this 
    box to use a 
    calling card 
    						
    							Chapter 8 Page 215
    To close a connection:
    nTap Disconnect to terminate the connection between your 
    handheld and your service.
    Creating additional service templates
    You can create additional service templates from scratch or by 
    duplicating existing templates and editing information. After you 
    create a new or duplicate template, you can add and edit settings.
    To add a new service template:
    1. Tap the Menu icon  . 
    2. Tap Service, and then tap New.
    An Untitled service template is added to the Service pick list.
    To duplicate an existing service template:
    1. Tap the Service pick list.
    2. Tap the predefined service template you want to duplicate.
    3. Tap the Menu icon  .

    A copy of the service template is added to the Service pick list.
    Adding detailed information to a 
    service template
    If you are using one of the predefined service templates, you probably 
    only need to enter your user name and telephone number. If you are 
    creating a new service template, you may need to provide additional 
    information to your ISP or dial-in server. You use the Details dialog 
    box to add additional information to a selected service template.
    To select a connection type:
    1. Tap the service field.
    2. Tap Details. 
    						
    							Page 216  Setting Preferences for Your Handheld
    3. Tap the Connection type pick list and select one of the following 
    connection types:
    Note:If you are not sure, try PPP; if that doesn’t work, ask your 
    Internet Service Provider or your System Administrator 
    for the correct connection type.
    Idle timeout
    The Idle timeout setting defines how long your handheld waits before 
    dropping the connection with your ISP or dial-in server when you 
    switch out of a TCP/IP application.
    To set the Idle timeout:
    1. Tap the Idle timeout pick list and select one of the following 
    options:
    2. Tap OK.
    PPPPoint-to-Point protocol
    SLIPSerial Line Internet Protocol

    1 minuteWaits one minute for you to open another 
    application before it drops the connection. 
    2 minutesWaits two minutes. 
    3 minutesWaits three minutes. 
    NeverKeeps your PPP or SLIP connection until you 
    turn off your handheld (or until it times out). This 
    option works best with the PalmModem 
    accessory.

    Defining primary and secondary DNS
    The Domain Naming System (DNS) is a mechanism in the Internet for 
    translating the names of host computers into IP addresses. When you 
    enter a DNS number (or IP address), you are identifying a specific 
    server that handles the translation services.
    Each IP address has four sections, separated by periods. In the Details 
    dialog box, you enter each section separately. Each section of an IP 
    address is made up of a number from 0 to 255; numbers are the only 
    allowable characters in this field.
    Ask your Internet Service Provider or System Administrator for the 
    correct Primary or Secondary DNS IP numbers.
    Tip:Many systems do not require that you enter a DNS. If you are 
    not sure, leave the DNS field blank.
    To enter a primary and secondary DNS:
    1. Tap the Query DNS check box to deselect it.
    2. Tap the space to the left of the first period in the Primary DNS field, 
    and then enter the first section of the IP address. 
    Note:Each section must be a number from 0 to 255.
    3. Repeat step 2 for the second, third, and last sections of the Primary 
    DNS field.
    4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the Secondary DNS number.
    5. Tap OK.
    IP address
    Everyone who logs on to the Internet needs to have a unique identifier 
    (an IP address), whether permanent or temporary. Some networks 
    dynamically assign a temporary IP address when clients log in. The IP 
    Address field lets you identify whether your network provides 
    automatic (dynamic) temporary IP addressing.
    Note:If your IP address is permanently assigned, you need to get 
    that information from your System Administrator. If you are 
    not sure, select Automatic. 
    						
    							Page 218  Setting Preferences for Your Handheld
    To identify dynamic IP addressing:
    nTap the IP Address check box to select it.
    To enter a permanent IP address:
    1. Tap the IP Address check box to deselect it and display a 
    permanent IP address field below the check box.
    2. Tap the space to the left of the first period then enter the first 
    section of the IP address. 
    Note:Each section must be a number from 0 to 255.
    3. Tap and enter the remaining sections of the IP address.
    4. Tap OK.
    Login scripts
    A login script is a series of commands that automates logging in to a 
    network server, for example, your corporate network or your Internet 
    Service Provider (ISP). A login script is associated with a specific 
    service template created in Network Preferences.
    A login script is something that you are likely to receive from your IS 
    System Administrator if your company has a system in which you log 
    in to the corporate servers from your handheld using a modem or 
    network connection. The script is generally prepared by the System 
    Administrator and distributed to users who need it. It automates the 
    events that must take place in order to establish a connection between 
    your handheld and the corporate servers.
    You can create login scripts in two ways:
    nIn a text editor on your desktop computer, in which you create a 
    file with the extension PNC, which you then install on your 
    handheld using the Install Tool (this method is not available to 
    Macintosh users)
    Tap to select automatic 
    IP address 
    						
    							Chapter 8 Page 219
    nIn the Login Script dialog box on your handheld, accessed from the 
    Details dialog box in Network Preferences
    Note:You can also use non-ASCII and literal characters in your 
    login script. See Appendix D for more information.
    Creating a login script on your handheld
    You can create login scripts by selecting commands from the 
    Command pick list in the Login Script dialog. Some commands, such 
    as Send, require you to supply additional information. Those 
    commands have a parameter field so that you can add the necessary 
    data.
    To create a login script:
    1. Tap Script.
    2. Tap the End pick list.
    3. Tap the command you want from the Command list. If the 
    command requires additional information, a field appears to the 
    right of it for you to enter the information. The following 
    commands are available:
    Tap here to see the list 
    of available commands
    Tap here 
    						
    							Page 220  Setting Preferences for Your Handheld
    4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the login script is complete.
    5. Tap OK.
    Wait ForTells your handheld to wait for specific 
    characters from the TCP/IP server before 
    executing the next command.
    Wait For 
    PromptDetects a challenge-response prompt coming 
    from the server and then displays the dynamically 
    generated challenge value. You then enter the 
    challenge value into your token card, which in 
    turn generates a response value for you to enter 
    on your handheld. This command takes two 
    arguments, separated by a vertical bar (|) on the 
    input line.
    SendTransmits specific characters to the TCP/IP 
    server to which you are connecting.
    Send CRTransmits a carriage return or LF character to the 
    TCP/IP server to which you are connecting.
    Send User 
    IDTransmits the User ID information entered in the 
    User ID field of the Network Preferences screen.
    Send 
    PasswordTransmits the password entered in the Password 
    field of the Network Preferences screen. If you 
    did not enter a password, this command 
    prompts you to enter one. The Password 
    command is usually followed by a Send CR 
    command.
    DelayTells your handheld to wait a specific number of 
    seconds before executing the next command in 
    the login script.
    Get IPReads an IP address and uses it as the IP address 
    for your handheld. This command is used with 
    SLIP connections.
    PromptOpens a dialog box and prompts you to enter 
    text of some kind (for example, a password or a 
    security code).
    EndIdentifies the last line in the login script.
