CHAPTER
Accessing the Internet using a Bluetooth
DUN connection
The steps for accessing the Internet on
your computer may vary depending on your
operating system and how Bluetooth
wireless technology is set up on your
computer—for example, if it is built-in
versus if you are using a Bluetooth adapter.
If you need additional info, check your
computer’s documentation for how to set
up Bluetooth technology to access the
Internet using a DUN connection.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN Verify that DUN is
enabled on your computer. See the
documentation that came with your
computer for details.
NOTE Customers who wish to tether with
their smart device and have an unlimited
PDA data plan will need to upgrade their
rate plan to a Data Connect Plan for
Laptops. Unlimited Data Connect Plans for
PDA do not include tethering capabilities
and may incur additional charges.
1 Open the Bluetooth application on your
computer and let it locate the Treo you
paired it with in the previous procedure.
2 Double-click the icon or option
representing your Treo 680. Your
computer connects to your Treo 680
and shows that DUN services are
available.
3 Double-click the DUN icon.
4 Enter the following settings:
• Dial: *99***1#
• User Name:
[e-mail]
• Password: CINGULAR1
5 Click Dial. Once the connection is
successfully established, you can
browse the Internet on your computer
or download your email.
TIP You may need to use a virtual private
network (VPN) to access corporate email.
Check with your system administrator for
more information.
TIP If you get a message asking whether you
want your computer to remember the dial text
for this connection, we recommend that you
say yes. This avoids errors and the
inconvenience of entering the dial text for
every session.
