To set the system and alarm sounds:
1. Tap the System Sound pick list and select the sound level.
Note:
When you turn off the System Sounds, you also turn off
the “chime” tones associated with the HotSync operation.
2. Tap the Alarm Sound pick list and select the sound level.
3. Tap the Game Sound pick list and select the sound level.
Note:
The Game Sound setting works only with games that are
programmed to respond to this setting. Older games
typically do not respond to this setting.
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.
