Selecting a service template
You can customize the Service setting to select the service template for your 
Internet Service Provider or a dial-in server. 
1Tap the arrow V at the top right of the Preferences screen 
and select Network.
The Network Preferences screen is displayed.
2Tap the arrow V next to Service and select the service 
template (Internet Service Provider name) you want to 
use.
Tips
 To add a new service template, select New from the Service menu.
If the Internet Service Provider name you want to use is not displayed in the list, 
tap the area showing the service template, or select New from the Service 
menu, and enter the new Internet Service Provider name.
You can create multiple service templates for your Internet Service Provider. 
You need to name them so that those service templates are uniquely identified, 
such as “So-net1” and “So-net2.” This is useful when using your Internet Service 
Provider by access point. It is also useful when setting the service template.
 If you want to copy an existing service template without changing, select 
Duplicate from the Service menu.

The Password setting 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:

-Prompt- in this field and asks you to enter a password during the log-in 
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 log-in procedure.
Note
If you are concerned about security, select the -Prompt- and do not enter a password.
1Tap the Password field on the Network Preferences 
screen.
2Enter the password you use to log into your server.

command.
Wait For PromptDetects a challenge-response prompt coming from the 
server and displays the dynamically generated challenge 
value. 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.
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

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 character 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 character is a value between A and Z, then the character sequence is 
translated to a single-byte value between 1 and 26. If character 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 log-in 
script, when they are 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
