wireless service provider or a dial-in server. See “Connection preferences” earlier 
in this chapter for information about creating and configuring connection settings.
To select a connection:
1.Tap the Connection pick list.
2.Select the connection you want to use.
Adding telephone settings
Some services require a telephone number. When you select the Phone field, a 
dialog box opens in which you define the telephone number you use to connect 
with your wireless service provider or dial-in server. In addition, you can define a 
prefix, disable call waiting, and give special instructions for using a calling card.
To enter your server phone number:
1.Tap the Phone field.
2.Enter the phone number for your wireless service provider or dial-in server.
3.If you need to enter a prefix or disable call waiting, skip to those procedures.

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” before dialing a number 
outside the building.
To enter a prefix:
1.Tap the Dial prefix check box to select it.
2.Enter the prefix. 
3.Press Function   + Enter , or 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 in to your wireless service provider 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.
Each telephone company assigns a code to disable call waiting. Contact your 
local telephone company for the code that is appropriate for you.
3.Press Function   + Enter , or tap OK.
Enter your 
prefix here Select this 
box if you

Using a calling card
The Use calling card field enables you to use your calling card when dialing your 
wireless service provider 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.
NOTEThe 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.
TIPIt’s a good idea to add at least three commas before your calling card 
number to compensate for the cue delay.
3.Press Function   + Enter , or tap OK.
Connecting to your service
After you set your Connection and Network Preferences, establishing a connection 
to your wireless service provider or your company’s network (dial-in server) is 
easy.
To establish a connection:
nTap Connect to dial the current service and display the Service Connection 
Progress messages. 
To see expanded Service Connection Progress messages, press the lower half of 
the Scroll button.
To close a connection:
nTap Disconnect to terminate the connection between your handheld and your 
service.

calling card 
number here Select this

The Idle timeout setting defines how long your handheld waits before dropping 
the connection with your wireless service provider or dial-in server when you 
switch out of a TCP/IP application.

select None.
To select the Next Service:
nTap the Next Service pick list and select a service.
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 wireless service provider or system administrator for the correct primary 
or secondary DNS IP numbers.
Many systems do not require that you enter a DNS. If you are not sure, leave the 
DNS field blank.
1 minuteWaits one minute for you to open another application before it 
drops the connection. 
2 minutesWaits two minutes. 
3 minutesWaits three minutes. 
NeverMaintains your PPP or SLIP connection until you turn off your 
handheld (or until it times out). 
CAUTIONBy enabling this option, you may incur significant 
charges if the connection to your wireless service provider is left 
open.

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. 
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.Press Function   + Enter , or tap OK.
IP address
Everyone who logs in 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.
If your IP address is permanently assigned, you need to get that information from 
your system administrator. If you are not sure, select Automatic.
To identify dynamic IP addressing:
nTap the IP Address check box to select it.
Tap to select automatic IP 
address

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, and then enter the first section of the 
IP address. 
Each section must be a number from 0 to 255.
3.Tap and enter the remaining sections of the IP address.
4.Press Function   + Enter , or 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 wireless service provider. 
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 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 from the Login Script dialog box on your handheld, 
accessed from the Details dialog box in Network Preferences.
NOTEYou can also use non-ASCII and literal characters in your login script.
Tap here to see the list of 
available commands

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 box. 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.Select 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:
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 
Pa ss wo rdTransmits 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.
