Setting Communication Preferences
The Communication Preferences category enables you to access screens where you 
can modify Connection and Network settings. This section provides details about 
each of these screens.
To open the Communication Preferences screens:

Preferences screen.
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 in the list. If you have this modem, you 
need only to specify the phone setup (and network connection, if required) to 
complete the configuration.  
						

							Chapter 16 Setting Preferences for Your Handheld

You can also create custom configurations, which include the following:
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.
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/cable attaches to a serial 
[COM] port of your computer.)
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.)

6.Enter the initialization string supplied by the documentation for the modem in 
your mobile phone, if necessary.
7.Ta p  O K .
8.Tap OK again to save the configuration.
After you create the configuration, you need to set up the HotSync Manager of 
your Desktop application and the HotSync application of your handheld to 
perform a modem HotSync operation. 
Network Preferences
You can use the software that is 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 either an IR port 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. 
To use the e-mail 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. 
NOTEThe Network Preferences settings enable 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.
