Manual Setup of Your Data Connections You can set up connections to the Internet or to a corporate network and exchange e-mail or instant messages. Your device has two connection setting categories: My ISP (Internet Service Provider) and My Work Network. The My ISP settings are used to connect to the Internet, and the My Work Network settings can be used to connect to any private corporate network. In particular, if you will need to enter proxy server settings, this can be done for My Work Network.
