In order to use your CLIÉ handheld with a network (such as using the Web
Clipping application or performing a network HotSync® operation), you
must set the Network Preferences settings.
Note
The Network settings preferences provides the ability to connect to your ISP (Internet
Service Provider) or dial-in (remote access) server with applications (for example, Web
Clipping) that allow you to view the transmitted data.
Selecting a service
Use the Service setting to select 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.

Entering a user name
The User Name setting identifies the name you use when you log into your
Internet Service Provider or your dial-in server.
1On the Network Preferences screen, tap User Name field.
2Enter your user name.
Notes
•Although this field can contain multiple lines of text, only two lines appear on-screen.

Entering a password
The Password box identifies the password you use to log into your server or
ISP. Your entry in this field determines whether your CLIÉ handheld
prompts you to enter a password each time you log into your network:
•If you do not enter a password, your CLIÉ handheld displays the word
“-Prompt-” in this field and asks you to enter a password during the login
procedure.
•If you enter a password, your CLIÉ handheld displays the word
“-Assigned-” in this field and does not prompt you to enter a password
during the login procedure.
Note
If you are concerned about security, select the Prompt option and do not enter a
password.

Selecting a connection
Use the Connection setting to select the method you want to use to connect
to your Internet Service Provider or a dial-in server.
On the Network Preferences screen, tap the arrow V next to
Connection and select Standard Modem.
Adding telephone settings
When you select the Phone field, your CLIÉ handheld opens a dialog box in
which you define the telephone number you use to connect with your ISP or
dial-in server. In addition, you can also define a prefix, disable Call Waiting,
and give special instructions for using a calling card.
Note
The 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.
1On the Network Preferences screen, tap the Phone field.
The Phone Setup screen appears.
2Enter the phone number for your ISP or dial-in server in the
Phone# field.
3Change the following settings if necessary:
1Enter the telephone number used to access the modem.
If necessary, enter a dial prefix (such as “9”) to access an outside
line, and tap the Dial prefix check box. You can enter a comma in
the field to introduce a “pause” in the dialing sequence. Each
comma equals a two second pause.

2If the phone line you are using for your CLIÉ handheld has Call
Waiting, select the “Disable call waiting” check box to avoid an
interruption during a modem HotSync
® operation or accessing a
Web Clipping site.
Note
Each telephone company assigns a code to disable Call Waiting. Contact your
local telephone company for the code that is appropriate for you.
3If you want to use a calling card to place the call, select the “Use
calling card” check box and enter the calling card number.
Tip
There is usually a delay before you enter your calling card number.
Consequently, add at least three commas before your calling card number to
compensate for the cue delay.
4Tap OK.

duplicate template, you can add and edit settings.
