    Enabling/disabling the user cache
    When you enable or disable the user cache you control whether or not your 
    handheld retrieves the names of remote devices each time the discovery process 
    takes place. By default, the user cache is enabled. This means that the names of 
    devices found during one round of discovery are stored in your handheld’s user 
    cache. The next time your handheld discovers a device that is listed in the user 
    cache, the device name appears very quickly.
    Using cached names saves time, because it eliminates the extra step of retrieving a 
    name remotely. Disabling this feature is useful only if the name of a remote device 
    has changed, because it forces your handheld to retrieve the new device name.
    To disable the user cache:
    1.From the Bluetooth Preferences screen, tap the Menu icon  .
    2.Select Disable device name cache from the Options menu.
    Making Bluetooth connections
    There are several ways you can make Bluetooth connections. The method you use 
    determines the types of devices your handheld can discover. The following 
    methods enable you to discover the types of Bluetooth devices that are within 
    range:
    ■Using an Internet application: Access the Internet using Palm Web Browser Pro. 
    See Chapter 19 for details.
    ■Using the Send command: Connect to a Palm OS handheld or a computer to 
    exchange data or applications. See“Sending data” in Chapter 3 for details on 
    using this method.
    ■Using HotSync Manager software: Connect to your computer to synchronize 
    data with your handheld. See“Conducting Bluetooth HotSync operations” in 
    Chapter 21 for details.
    ■Using a collaborative application: Connect to a Palm OS handheld using 
    applications such as BlueBoard and BlueChat included on the Software 
    Essentials CD-ROM. See the BlueBoard 2.0 Handbook and the BlueChat 2.0 
    Handbook on the Software Essentials CD-ROM to learn more about these 
    applications. Other third-party applications may be available. Visit
     
    www.palm.com/intl
     for information about downloading third-party 
    applications, and refer to the documentation that comes with these applications 
    for details on using them.

    NOTEPalm works with developers of third-party add-on applications to ensure the 
    compatibility of these applications with your new Palm handheld. Some third-party 
    applications, however, may not have been upgraded to be compatible with your new 
    Palm handheld. If you suspect that a third-party application is adversely affecting the 
    operation of your handheld, contact the developer of the application.
    Connection Preferences
    The Connection Preferences screen enables you to define the settings used to 
    connect your handheld to other devices. The screen displays a list of available 
    configurations that are ready to be further defined; the list varies depending on the 
    kind of software you’ve added to your handheld.
    For example, a modem connection appears on the list. If you have this modem, you 
    need only to specify the phone setup (and network connection, if required) to 
    complete the configuration. 
    You can also create custom configurations, which include the following:
    Phone to Bluetooth: A connection between your handheld and 
    a Bluetooth phone. 
    TIPFor Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) 
    phones, use Phone Link to quickly establish a connection with a 
    Bluetooth GSM phone. For more information, see Chapter 14.
    LAN to Bluetooth: A connection between your handheld and a 
    Bluetooth Local Area Network.
    PC to Bluetooth: A connection between your handheld and a 
    Bluetooth computer or laptop.
    PC to Cradle/Cable: A local HotSync connection—the direct 
    connection between your handheld and your desktop 
    computer. Your handheld is connected by its universal 
    connector to the cradle/cable, and the cradle/cable is attached 
    to a USB port of your desktop computer. (If you are using the 
    optional serial cradle/cable, the cradle attaches to a serial 
    [COM] port of your computer.)

    Editing connections
    The following example shows you how to edit the IR to GSM Phone connection to 
    adjust the communication speed; you can similarly edit other connections or 
    settings or create a custom connection. You can use the IR to GSM Phone 
    connection to perform a remote IR HotSync operation. To accomplish the HotSync 
    operation, your handheld sends data through its IR port to a modem within your 
    mobile phone, which then dials a modem attached to or within your desktop 
    computer, to synchronize with your Desktop application. 
    To edit the IR to Phone connection:
    1.From the Communications Preferences list, select Connection.
    2.Select the IR to GSM Phone connection.
    3.Ta p  E d i t .
    Modem to Universal connector: A cable connection between 
    your handheld’s universal connector and a modem for dialing 
    in to a modem that is part of your computer or laptop. 
    PC to Infrared: A connection between the IR port of your 
    handheld and the infrared device of your computer or laptop.
    Modem to Infrared: A connection between the IR port of your 
    handheld and a modem. The modem can be attached to or 
    within a mobile phone or other device containing an IR port. 
    (Some IR phones contain modems.)

    Creating Bluetooth connections
    You can use the Connection Preferences screen to create connections to the 
    following types of Bluetooth devices:
    ■GSM mobile phones (See “Connecting to non-GSM phones” later in this chapter 
    for information on connecting to other mobile phones.)
    TIPFor Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) phones, use Phone 
    Link to quickly establish a connection with a Bluetooth GSM phone. For more 
    information, see Chapter 14.
    ■Computers
    ■LAN access points
    ■High-speed wireless data networks [such as a General Packet Radio Service 
    (GPRS) network]
    High-speed wireless data networks provide an “always on” network connectivity 
    and high-speed wireless data transmission. To connect to a high-speed wireless 
    data network, you must have a GSM mobile phone, the correct driver for your 
    phone, a subscription to high-speed wireless data network services with your 
    mobile phone carrier, and the correct high-speed wireless data network settings for 
    your carrier.

    included in the handheld operating system to connect with Internet service 
    providers (ISPs) or dial-in (remote access) servers using a mobile phone or optional 
    modem accessory. Your mobile phone must be equipped with one of the following: 
    an IR port, Bluetooth technology, or a serial cable that connects to your handheld’s 
    universal connector. You also need an ISP account or corporate remote access 
    account and a mobile phone carrier account that supports dial-up connections, or 
    a mobile phone carrier account with high-speed wireless data network services.

    You can also use your handheld’s Bluetooth technology and the software that is 
    included in the handheld operating system to connect with a LAN access point.
    To use the e-mail or web browser software included with your handheld, you must 
    create a configuration in Connection Preferences and then create Network 
    Preferences settings. See “Connection Preferences” earlier in this chapter for a 
    complete explanation of how to define Connection configurations that enable your 
    handheld to communicate with remote devices. 
    After you configure both the Connection and Network Preferences, you can 
    establish a PPP (Point-to-Point 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. 
    NOTEPalm works with developers of third-party add-on applications to ensure the 
    compatibility of these applications with your new Palm handheld. Some third-party 
    applications, however, may not have been upgraded to be compatible with your new 
    Palm handheld. If you suspect that a third-party application is adversely affecting the 
    operation of your handheld, contact the developer of the application.
    The Network Preferences settings give you the ability to connect to your ISP or dial-in 
    server with applications that support viewing the transmitted data. Visit the web site 
    www.palm.com/intl
     for information on third-party applications that take advantage of 
    TCP/IP.
    Creating and selecting network service profiles
    Use network service profiles to store the configuration settings for your ISP or a 
    dial-in server. You can create, save, and reuse network service profiles. You can 
    create additional network service profiles from scratch or by duplicating existing 
    profiles and editing information. After you create a new or duplicate profile, you 
    can add and edit settings. You can also duplicate and rename a profile that you 
    created with Phone Link. This preserves the current Phone Link settings when you 
    use Phone Link to create a new phone connection. Otherwise, Phone Link erases 
    the current settings when it creates the new settings.
    To add a new network service profile:
    1.From the Communications Preferences list, select Network. 
    2.Ta p  N e w.
    An Untitled network service profile appears in the Service pick list.
