PalmPilot™ TCP/IP Software
Your PalmPilot 2.0 operating system comes with TCP/IP software
that enables you to connect with Internet Service Providers (ISPs)
or dial-in (remote access) servers.  Because the TCP/IP software
is a feature of the operating system, you configure all parameters
relating to it from the Preferences application.
To use PalmPilot TCP/IP, you must configure the Modem
Preferences and the Network Preferences settings.  When this is
complete, you can establish a PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) or
SLIP (Serial Line Internet Protocol) connection with your ISP or
dial-in server either by using menu commands from the Network
Preferences screen or by using a third-party application.
PalmPilot TCP/IP provides the ability to connect to your ISP or
dial-in server, however, it does not come with any applications to
view the transmitted data.  Third party applications that take
advantage of TCP/IP are documented on the PalmPilot website
(http://www.palmpilot.com).  Check this site for details.
Configuring Network Preferences Settings
Before you can use PalmPilot TCP/IP, you must configure the
Modem Preferences and the Network Preferences settings.
Modem Preferences settings enable your PalmPilot connected
organizer to use an external modem (such as the PalmPilot
Modem) to communicate with remote devices, such as your
desktop if you are away on travel or your ISP server.  For a
complete explanation on how to configure Modem Preferences
parameters, refer to the PalmPilot Handbook.
The Network Preferences settings apply specifically to TCP/IP
and are based on the concept of service templates.  Service
templates are a set of ISP or dial-in server configuration settings
you can create, save, and reuse.  Your PalmPilot comes with a
number of service templates already installed; available service
templates are listed in the Service pick list.

Selecting a Service
You use the Service setting to choose the service template for your
Internet Service Provider or a dial-in server.  Service templates are
a set of ISP and dial-in server configuration settings that you can
create, save, and reuse.
To select a service:
1. From the Network Preference screen, tap the word Service.
The pick list appears, listing all of PalmPilot organizer’s
available pre-defined service templates.
2. Tap to select the service you want to use.
Entering a User Name
The User Name setting identifies the name you use when you log
in to your Internet Service Provider or your dial-in server.
Although this field can contain multiple lines of text, only two lines
are displayed. 
						

							page 40PalmPilot Professional Handbook
To enter a user name:
1. From the Network Preferences screen, tap anywhere in the
User Name field to move the cursor to that field.
2. Use the stylus to write Graffiti
® character strokes (or the
on-screen keyboard) to enter your user name, as shown in the
following diagram:
Type your user
name here
Note:  Most dial-in servers do not accept spaces in the user name.
Entering a Password
The Password field identifies the password you use to log in to
your server or ISP.  This field displays two possible settings:
Prompt (the default setting) or Assigned.  If you enter a password,
your PalmPilot displays the word, “Assigned,” in this field.  If you
decide not to enter a password in this field, your PalmPilot displays
the word, “Prompt,” in this field and will ask you to enter a
password during the login procedure.
Note:  If you are concerned about security, you should select the
Prompt option.
To enter a password:
1. Tap anywhere in the Password field.  The Password dialog
appears, as shown in the following diagram.
Enter password
Tap here 
						

							Chapter 3: Reference page 41
2. A cursor is displayed at the beginning of the field,
representing the point where new text will appear.  Use the
stylus to write Graffiti character strokes (or the on-screen
keyboard) to enter the password you use to login to your
server.
3. Tap OK to confirm your entry and return to the Network
Preferences screen.  The Password field is updated to display
the word, “Assigned.”
Adding Telephone Settings
When you select the Phone field, your PalmPilot displays a dialog
where you define the telephone number you use to connect with
your ISP or dial-in server.  In addition, you use this dialog to define
a prefix, disable call waiting, and give special instructions for using
a calling card.
Note:  The phone setup dialog 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 Calling Card field.
To enter your server phone number:
1. Tap in the Phone field.  The Phone Setup dialog appears, as
shown in the following diagram:
Enter your ISP
phone number here
2. A cursor is displayed at the beginning of the field, showing
where new text will appear.  Use the stylus to write Graffiti
character strokes (or the on-line keyboard) to enter the phone
number you use to reach your ISP or dial-in server. 
						

							page 42PalmPilot Professional Handbook
3. If you are finished, tap OK to confirm your selection and
return to the Network Preferences screen.
To enter a prefix:
1. Tap the Dial Prefix check box (so that it’s checked). Tap the
box again (so that it’s empty) to discontinue this feature.
Enter the
prefix here Tap here if
you need to
use a prefix
2. Tap at the beginning of the Dial Prefix field to insert the
cursor, then use the stylus to write Graffiti character strokes
(or the on-line keyboard) to enter the prefix you need.
3. When you are finished, tap OK to confirm your selection and
return to the Network Preferences screen.
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. Tap the Disable Call Waiting checkbox (so that it’s checked).
Tap here to
disable call
waiting
Enter the disable
code here 
						

							Chapter 3: Reference page 43
Note:  Tap the Disable Call Waiting box again (so that it’s
empty) to allow or to enable Call Waiting.
2. Tap at the beginning of the Disable Call Waiting field to insert
the cursor, then use the stylus to write Graffiti character
strokes (or the on-screen keyboard) to enter the code to
disable Call Waiting.
Note:  Each telephone company has assigned a code to disable Call
Waiting.  Contact your local telephone company for the code that
is appropriate for you.
3. When you are finished, tap OK to confirm your selection and
return to the Network Preferences screen.
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 befor 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; it’s a
good idea to add either three or four commas.
To use a calling card:
1. Tap the Use Calling Card checkbox (so that it’s checked).
Tap here to use
a calling card
Enter the calling
card number here
Note:  Tap the Use Calling Card box again (so that it’s empty)
to disable this feature. 
						

							page 44PalmPilot Professional Handbook
2. Tap at the beginning of the Use Calling Card field to insert the
cursor, then use the stylus to write Graffiti character strokes
(or the on-screen keyboard) to enter your calling card
number.
Note:  It’s a good idea to add at least three commas at the
beginning of your calling card number to compensate for the
cue delay.
3. If you are finished, tap OK to confirm your selection and
return to the Network Preferences screen.
Connecting to your Service
Establishing a connection to your ISP or dial-in server is easy; you
just tap the Connect button.  Remember that you need a third-party
application, such as a web browser or news reader, to take
advantage of this connection.
Note:  Check the PalmPilot website (http://www.palmpilot.com)
for the latest information about third-party applications that
support PalmPilot TCP/IP.
To establish a connection:
1. From the Network Preferences screen, tap the Connect
button, as shown in the following diagram:
Tap here to
connect
2. Your PalmPilot will immediately dial the ISP currently
selected.  The screen will change to display Service
Connection Progress messages.
Tip  To see expanded Service Connection Progress messages,
press the Scroll Down button. 
						

							Chapter 3: Reference page 45
To close a connection:
nFrom the Network Preferences screen, tap the Disconnect
button.  The connection between your PalmPilot and your ISP
is terminated.
