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 (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.
1Tap Network from the drop-down list on the Preferences
screen.
The Network Preferences screen is displayed.
2Tap the arrow V next to Service and then select the
predefined service template you want to use.

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 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 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.
1On the Network Preferences screen, tap the Password field.
2Enter 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.
1On the Network Preferences screen, tap the arrow V next to
Connection and then select the connection you want to use.
•When using Sony CLIÉ Modem PEGA-MD700: select Sony CLIÉ
Modem.
•When using another modem or adapter: 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.
3When using Sony CLIÉ Modem PEGA-MD700, skip to step 4.
When using another modem or adapter, change the settings
as follows:
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 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. It’s a
good idea to add at least three commas before your calling card number to
compensate for the cue delay.
4Tap OK.

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.

Creating log in scripts
A log in script is a series of commands that automates logging in to a
network server, for example, your corporate network or your Internet
Service Provider (ISP). It 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.
Notes
•When using Sony CLIÉ Modem PEGA-MD700, you do not have to create a log in
script.
•You can also use non-ASCII and literal characters in your log in script. For more
information, see page 190.
1On the Network Preferences screen, tap the service field.
2Tap Details.
The Details screen is displayed.
3Tap Script.

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 then 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
