Network preferences and TCP/IP software
Network Preferences let you set a password, telephone number, DNS
number, IP address, as well as create a login script for remote
connections. You will need to set your Network Preferences and TCP/
IP settings to use a VisorPhone or a Springboard modem module with
your handheld. You can use a preset service template for your ISP or
dial-in server, and edit, save, and reuse settings. Or you can create
your own service template.
The Network Preferences settings also enable you to use the TCP/IP
software that is included in the handheld operating system. You can
use the TCP/IP software to connect with Internet Service Providers
(ISPs) or dial-in (remote access) servers. Because the TCP/IP software
is a feature of the operating system, you configure all parameters
relating to it from the Preferences application.
To use TCP/IP, you must first configure the Connection Preferences
and then the Network Preferences settings. After you configure both
of these Preferences, you can establish a PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol),
SLIP (Serial Line Internet Protocol), or CSLIP (Compressed Serial Line
Internet Protocol) connection with your ISP or dial-in server. You can
do this either by using menu commands from the Network
Preferences screen or by using a third-party application.
Note:
TCP/IP provides the ability to connect to your ISP or dial-in
server with applications that allow you to view the
transmitted data. Visit the web site www.handspring.com for
information on third-party applications that take advantage of
TCP/IP.
