Network Preferences
You can use your handheld’s Bluetooth technology and the software that is 
included in the handheld operating system to connect with Internet service 
providers (ISPs) or dial-in (remote access) servers by 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 enable you to connect to your ISP or dial-in server 
with applications that support viewing the transmitted data. Visit the web site 
www.palm.com
 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.

this field and asks you to enter a password during the login procedure. If you 
are concerned about security, select the Prompt option.

field and does not prompt you to enter a password during the login procedure.

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 in to your ISP or dial-in server.
To disable Call Waiting:
1.From the Communications Preferences list, select Network.
2.Tap the Phone box.
3.Tap the Disable call waiting check box to select it.

6.Ta p  D o n e .
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.From the Communications Preferences list, select Network.
2.Tap the Phone box.
Enter your disable 
code here Select this 
box if you

3.Tap the Use calling card check box to select it.
4.Enter your calling card number on the Use calling card line.
NOTEThe Phone Setup dialog box works correctly for AT&T and Sprint 
long-distance services. However, because MCI works differently, MCI 
customers need to enter the calling card number in the Phone # field and the 
phone number in the Use calling card field.
TIPIt’s a good idea to add at least three commas before your calling card 
number to compensate for the cue delay.

LAN access points
A LAN access point enabled with Bluetooth™ technology provides an entry point 
into a local area network. You can log in to these networks from your handheld to 
access services such as e-mail and the Internet. 
LAN access points can be located in private, corporate or in public areas. In some 
cases there may be a fee to use a LAN access point. To access a LAN access point 
from your handheld, you must set your Network Preferences as described in the 
sections that follow.
Accessing the Internet with a Bluetooth phone or LAN access point
With your handheld’s built-in Bluetooth technology, you can connect to the 
Internet using a Bluetooth mobile phone or a LAN access point. To connect to a 
Bluetooth mobile phone or LAN access point, you must be within range of these 
devices. If you have a GSM mobile phone and subscribe to high-speed wireless 
data services with your mobile phone carrier, you can use these services to connect 
to the Internet when you are within range of the high-speed wireless data network. 
You can also configure Internet access with a GSM phone or high-speed wireless 
data network by using the Phone Link application. We recommend using Phone 
Link to enter these settings. See“Setting up a phone connection” in Chapter 12 for 
details. Use the steps described in this section only if you are unable to create a 
connection with Phone Link and you have already used the Connection 
Preferences screen to create a trusted pair for your phone, high-speed data 
network, or LAN access point. See “Creating Bluetooth connections” earlier in this 
chapter for additional information.
To configure Internet access with a Bluetooth phone or LAN access point:
1.From the Communications Preferences list, select Network. 
2.Tap the Service pick list and select the name of your ISP or network service. See 
“To select a network service profile:” earlier in this chapter for details. 
If the name of your service does not appear on the list, see “Adding detailed 
information to a network service profile” later in this chapter for information on 
adding an item to the Service pick list.
