Select 
GPRS only
 if you do not want to be disturbed by incoming 
phone calls while browsing the web. All incoming voice (and 
GSM data) calls are rejected.
When you have selected 
GSM only, 
 no GPRS data connection is 
possible.
If you select 
Automatic,
 your P800 will let you answer incoming 
GSM calls while having normal GPRS functionality. A GPRS 
data connection will be temporarily interrupted by a voice call.
IP security managerThe IP security manager displays stored policies and only one 
policy can be activated at a time.This is used for secure 
connections over the Internet, typically to a corporate intranet. If 
needed, your company information services department will 
supply the necessary information.
There are two types of passwords needed:
•IP security password: is to be set when activating the very 
first policy, that is, this password is only set once, but it is 
possible to change it later at any time by tapping the 
Password button.
•Activation password: is needed when a policy is activated 
for the first time and the supplier of the policy gives this.
Messaging accountsThe 
Messages 
 application can handle many different types 
of messages, but you must first set up accounts and make 
settings as described below.
The Messaging accounts dialog has four tabs, one for each type 
of messaging account: 
Email
You can have any number of e-mail accounts. To receive 
and send e-mail, you must first set up an Internet account 
(if one is not already set up). See“Internet accounts” on 
page 145.
SMS 
You can only have one SMS (Short Message Service) 
account.The settings on this tab also apply to EMS 
(Extended Message Service) messages. You can use EMS 
features and graphic Smilies in your text messages by 
default, but you can switch these features off to limit your 
messages to plain text SMS.
MMS
You can only have one MMS (Multimedia Messaging 
Service) account. To receive MMS messages you must 
first set up Internet and WAP accounts (if not already set 
up). See“Internet accounts” on page 145.

You can only have one 
Area info
 account. The number of 
Area Information channels that you can subscribe to is 
limited by the space on your SIM.

Secure tokensIf you need access to a network that requires secure access 
(often known as “strong authentication”), for example a 
corporate intranet, you can set up the Internet account you use to 
log in to that network to use secure access and generate the 
required one-time password when you make the connection.
Your P800 supports the following secure access systems:
• SecureID from RSA
• SafeWord from Secure Computing
It is also possible to add other access systems through third party 
software.
If you have a separate device or application that requires one-
time passwords according to one of these systems, you do not 
need a separate hardware token generator (Hard Token). Your 
P800 can generate passwords that are not associated with an 
Internet account.
You manage secure access in your P800 using Secure Tokens: 
Each token is associated with one vendor/system and may be 
associated with one or more Internet accounts (or none, when 
you use your P800 as a Hard Token). You can configure as many 
tokens as needed. 
						

							158Control panelThis is the Internet version of the user’s guide. © Print only for private use. TipDialog details when using secure access are vendor, system 
and network specific. You should contact the administrator of 
the network you wish to access to get the correct information.WAP accountsUse these settings to set up and manage WAP accounts 
(sometimes called WAP profiles) on your P800.
WAP accounts are intended for multimedia message and for 
accessing the Internet through a WAP gateway. (Such gateways 
make use of proxy port 9200-9203.) All other proxy settings 
should be included in your Internet accounts.
For security reasons, some WAP pages and services, for 
example online banking, can only be accessed from a particular 
WAP account.
The dialog has two tabs: 
Basic
 and 
Preferred.
Basic tabThe dialog shows a list of all the WAP accounts on your P800. 
You can add a 
New
 account to the list and 
Edit
 or 
Delete
 an 
existing account.
Note You access WAP pages through an Internet Service 
Provider (ISP) so, when you create a WAP account, you must 
choose one of your existing Internet accounts or first create a 
new one.To create a new WAP account:
1. Enter the name of the WAP account.
2. Select the Internet account you want to use. 
Preferred
 
indicates the account set as preferred in the Internet setup.

Use proxy 
check box.
4. Enter the IP Address
 of the gateway or proxy.
5. Enter the 
Port address
 of the gateway or proxy.
For a WAP gateway use:
–  9201 for a normal connection.
–  9203 for an encrypted secure connection.
• If the gateway/proxy requires 
User name
 and 
Password
, which 
is very unusual, fill in the last two fields in the dialog.
Preferred tabSelect the check box to set a preferred WAP account. It will be 
used when you use the 
Open page
 command in the 
Internet
 
application and when a page is opened from another P800 
application.
If you do not set a preferred WAP account, the preferred Internet 
account will be used when connecting to the Internet.
