Adding detailed information to a service template
If you are using one of the predefined service templates, you probably only
need to enter your user name and telephone number. If you are creating a
new service template, you may need to provide additional information to
your ISP or dial-in server. You use the Details dialog box to add additional
information to a selected service template.
To select a connection type

2Tap Details.
The Details screen is displayed.
3Tap the arrow V next to Connection type and select one of
the following connection types.
• PPP: Point-to-Point protocol

• CSLIP: Compressed Serial Line Internet Protocol
Tip
If you are not sure, try PPP; if that doesn’t work, ask your Internet Service
Provider or your System Administrator for the correct connection type.
4Tap the arrow V next to Idle timeout and select one of the
following options.
•1 minute: Waits one minute for you to open another application before
it drops the connection.
•2 minutes: Waits two minutes.

6Enter the IP address for the Primary and Secondary DNS
(Domain Naming System).
Ask your Internet Service Provider or System Administrator for the
correct Primary or Secondary DNS IP numbers.
7If you need to enter the CLIÉ handheld’s IP Address, tap the IP
Address check box to deselect it and display a permanent IP
address field below the check box.
Normally, you do not have to enter this IP address. If you are not sure,

9Tap OK.
Creating log in scripts
A log in script is a series of commands that automates logging in to a
network server, such as your corporate network or your Internet Service
Provider (ISP). A log in script is something that you are likely to receive
from your IS System Administrator, if your company has a system in which
you log in to the corporate servers from your CLIÉ handheld using a modem
or network connection.
Note
You can also use non-ASCII and literal characters in your log in script. For more
information, see page 185.
1On the Network Preferences screen, tap the service field.
2Tap Details.
The Details screen is displayed.
3Tap Script.
The Log in Script screen is displayed.

4Tap the arrow V next to End and select one of the following
commands. If the command requires additional information,
a field appears to the right of it for you to enter the
information.
• Wait For: Tells your CLIÉ handheld to wait for specific characters from
the TCP/IP server before executing the next command.
• Wait For Prompt: Detects a challenge-response prompt coming from
the server and 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 CLIÉ handheld.
This command takes two arguments, separated by a vertical bar (|) on
the input line.
• Send: Transmits specific characters to the TCP/IP server to which you
are connecting.
• Send CR: Transmits a carriage return or LF character to the TCP/IP
server to which you are connecting.
• Send User ID: Transmits the User ID information entered in the User ID
field of the Network Preferences screen.
• Send Password: Transmits 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.
• Delay: Tells your CLIÉ handheld to wait a specific number of seconds
before executing the next command in the login script.
• Get IP: Reads an IP address and uses it as the IP address for your CLIÉ
handheld. This command is used with SLIP connections.
• Prompt: Opens a dialog box and prompts you to enter text of some
kind (for example, a password or a security code).
• End: Identifies the last line in the log in script.
5Repeat step 4 until the log in script is complete.
6Tap OK.
7Tap OK.

Non-ASCII Characters for Log in Scripts
The following information enables you to create custom log in scripts that
require non-ASCII characters. It is provided for advanced users who
understand the use and requirements of such characters in a custom log in
script.
Use of ^char
You may use the caret ( ^ ) to transmit ASCII command characters. If you
send ^char, and the ASCII value of char is between @ and _, then the
character is automatically translated to a single-byte value between 0 and 31.
For example, ^M is converted to a carriage return.
If char is a value between a and z, then the character sequence is translated
to a single-byte value between 1 and 26. If char is any other value, then the
character sequence is not subject to any special processing. For example, the
string “Joe^M” transmits Joe, followed by a carriage return.
Carriage return and line feed
You may include carriage return and line feed commands as part of the
login script, when entered in the following format.
•  : Sends or receives a carriage return
•  : Sends or receives a line feed
For example, the string “waitfor Joe” waits to receive Joe followed
by a carriage return and line feed from the remote computer before
executing the next command in the script.
Literal characters
The backslash (  ) character defines that the next character is transmitted as
a literal character, and is not subject to any special processing ordinarily
associated with that character.
Examples:
• \^ : Includes a caret as part of the string
• \< : Includes a < as part of the string
• \\ : Includes a backslash as part of the string

							189Chapter6Additional information
Backing up data of your Sony CLIÉ Handheld
You can save a back-up copy of your CLIÉ handheld by performing either of
the following three methods:
• Backing up data to your computer through HotSync
® operation
• Backing up all data to a Memory Stick
® media using the Memory Stick
Backup (MS Backup) application
• Backing up data to a Memory Stick
® media using the MS Gate application
Backing up data to your computer through a HotSync®
operation
By default, you can back-up the following data in your computer with a
HotSync operation:
• Memo Pad data files
• Address Book data files
• To Do List data files
• Date Book data files
• Preferences data files
• Network Setup information
• Applications files that have been installed using a HotSync operation
• User information files when you perform a HotSync operation
During the next HotSync operation, the back-up data is compared with the
data in your computer, and the newer one becomes effective.
If you perform a hard reset, all records and entries stored in your CLIÉ
handheld are erased and reset to the initial status. If you save a back-up of
your CLIÉ handheld data, you can restore any data previously synchronized
with your computer during the next HotSync operation.
Notes
• Some applications are not designed to be backed up. Therefore, you may not be able
to restore some applications and data. It is recommended that you re-install those
applications.
• If you change settings in the Change HotSync Action dialog box, you may not be
able to save a back-up. You cannot back-up an application or restore its data if you
select an option other than “Synchronize the files.”  For details, see “Customizing
HotSync application settings (Conduits)” on page 114. 
						

							190Chapter6Additional information
Backing up all CLIÉ data to a Memory Stick® media (using
the MS Backup application)
With the Memory Stick Backup (MS Backup) application, you can back-up
all the following CLIÉ handheld application and data to a Memory Stick
media with a single tap.
To separately back-up applications and data to the Memory Stick media, use
the MS Gate application (see page 192).
• Memo Pad data files
• Address Book data files
• To Do List data files
• Date Book data files
• Preferences data files
• Network Setup information
• Applications files that have been installed using a HotSync operation
• User information files when you perform a HotSync operation
Backing up data with the MS Backup application
Note
When you back-up your CLIÉ data on a Memory Stick media, the data size of the back-
up may become larger than the total data size displayed in the MS Gate application.
This is not a malfunction. Make sure you have more space free on the Memory Stick
media than the displayed CLIÉ handheld data size before taking a back-up.
1Insert a Memory Stick media into the Memory Stick slot.
2Tap the Home  icon.
3Rotate the Jog Dial navigator to select MS Backup and press
the Jog Dial navigator. Or tap the MS Backup 
 icon
on the Application Launcher screen.
The MS Backup application starts up and the back-up list appears.
4Tap   (Backup).
The Backup All Files dialog box appears.
