• Callback type—Ask your Internet service provider for the correct setting. Server number refers to the standard Microsoft

callback, and Server number (IETF) refers to a callback approved by the Internet Engineering Task Force. Select Number to

use a number that you define in the Callback number field.

• Callback number—Enter the data call phone number of your device, which the callback server uses.

• Allow plain text login—Select No, if you never want to send your password as plain text without encryption. Note that

this option only affects PPP connections; e-mail and Web passwords are not encrypted. Some Internet service providers

require that this option is set to Yes.

• Use PPP compression—Select Yes to speed up the data transfer, if it is supported by the remote PPP server. If you have

problems establishing a connection, select No.

Configuring Internet connection settings

These settings affect all Internet connections.

To configure common Internet connection settings, select Connections → Internet setup. Select the Idle page, and define the

time period after which the connection ends automatically and returns to standby mode if not used. You can specify a

different time for each connection type, but the setting affects all Internet access points using that connection type.

Some Internet connections may appear inactive, but they may still be sending and receiving data in the background. These

connections may postpone the closing of the connection.

Select the Other page, and define the settings.

• Ask before connecting—If you select Yes, a dialog appears every time you connect to the Internet, asking you to confirm

the connection or to change the Internet access point.

• GPRS operating mode—Select Always on to keep the GPRS connection in alert mode and to switch the packet data

transfer on quickly when needed. If you select On when needed, the device uses a GPRS connection only when you start an

application or action that needs it. Note that if there is no GPRS coverage and you selected Always on, the device will

periodically try to establish a GPRS connection.

To change the priority of Internet access points, select Connections → Internet setup. Press Priority, select an Internet access

point, and press Move up or Move down. When you establish a data connection, the access points are searched for in the

order you have specified.

Selecting an Internet access point

When you establish an Internet connection, you are asked to select the Internet access point you want to use for that

connection. In the Network connection dialog, select an Internet access point from the list, and press Connect. Before

connecting, you can filter the list of access points according to the network type. To view all Internet access points, select All

networks. To view Internet access points that are currently available, press Show available. For example, if you are using the

Offline profile, no GPRS or GSM Internet access points are shown in the list.

Tip: The Network connection dialog opens only if you have selected Yes in the Ask before connecting field in the

general Internet access point settings. To check the status of the setting, select Desk → Tools → Control panel, and

Connections → Internet setup → Other page.
