To connect to the Internet, you need an Internet access point.
For connecting to the Internet over GPRS, the device has predefined, default Internet access point settings. You can create
new Internet access points yourself, or you may receive your Internet access point settings in a message from your service
provider. This might reduce the number of settings you need to enter yourself, or eliminate the need altogether.
The exact values for the settings are usually provided by your service provider. Follow the instructions given to you by your
service provider very carefully.
Tip: You may need to set up several Internet access points, depending on the sites you want to access. For example,
browsing the Web may require one setup, and accessing your company intranet may require another connection.
Setting up an Internet access point
1. Select Connections → Internet setup.
2. Press New. You can use an existing Internet access point as a basis for the new one: after you have pressed New, press Yes.
Select the access point from the list, and press OK.
3. Define the settings.
• Internet settings name—Enter a descriptive name for the connection.
• Internet settings type—Select the connection type. Depending on which connection you select, only certain settings
will be available during the setup process.
• Network ID—Select the network ID according to the destination network you want to access with the Internet access
point. You can rename, and create new network IDs. Using the correct network ID ensures that the data traffic is routed
directly to the desired destination network. Especially VPN (virtual private network) software may restrict data traffic
for a certain destination network. Network ID can be used to filter Internet access points when establishing an Internet
connection.
• GPRS access point name (for GPRS only)—If you are not using a default Internet access point, define a name for the
access point. You can obtain the name from your network operator or service provider.
• Telephone number (for GSM data only)—Type the modem telephone number of the Internet access point.
• Password prompt—Change this to Yes if you must write a new password every time you log on to a server, or if you do
not want to save your password to the device.

connection, and is usually provided by the service provider. The user name is often case-sensitive.

password is often case-sensitive.
