In order to use your CLIE 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 (e.g. 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.

screen.

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.
1 On the Network Preferences screen, tap User Name field.
2 Enter your user name.
Notes
•Although this field can contain multiple lines of text, only two lines appear
onscreen.
•Most dial-in servers do not accept spaces in the user name.
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 handheld prompts you
to enter a password each time you log into
your network:
• If you do not enter a password, your 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 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.
1 On the Network Preferences screen, tap the Password field.
2 Enter the password you use to log into your server.
3Tap OK.
The Password field updates to display the word “-Assigned-.”

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. See “Connection
preferences” earlier in this chapter for information about creating and
configuring connection settings.
1On the Network Preferences screen, tap the arrow V next to
Connection and then select the connection you want to use.
•When using Sony CLIE Modem PEGA-MD700: select Sony CLIE
Modem.
•When using another modem or adapter: select Standard Modem.
Adding telephone settings
When you select the Phone field, your 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.
1 On the Network Preferences screen, tap the Phone field.
The Phone Setup screen appears.
2 Enter the phone number for your ISP or dial-in server in the
Phone# field.

1Enter the telephone number used to access the modem.
If needed, enter a dial prefix (such as “9”) to access an outside line,
and then 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’re using for your CLIE 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. It’s a
good idea to add at least three commas before your calling card number to
compensate for the cue delay.

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.
4 Tap 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.
