4. Go into System Preferences -> Network. You should see the New Port Detected message box
that says that a new network port called Treo 650 USB Modem (or according to your actual
device) has been detected. Press the OK button to proceed. Sometimes you would not see this
message box. This might happen if the Network panel was launched too fast after enabling the
modem mode on the Treo and the system did not enumerate the USB bus yet. In this case close
the System Preferences, disable the modem mode on the Treo then enable it again and repeat
this step.
5. Select the Treo 650 USB Modem item in the Show pull-down list.
6. Properties for the network port will be displayed. Go to the Modem tab and select either
Mobile Stream CDMA option (for CDMA 1xRTT or EvDO networks) or
Mobile Stream GSM option (for GSM GPRS or EDGE networks) in the Modem pull-down
menu. It is recommended to disable the Wait for dial tone before dialing option.
7. Go back to the PPP tab, type in the optional Service Provider name (e.g. Internet via Treo
USB Modem), fill in the Account Name, Password and Telephone Number fields with the
values you got from your provider. Usually the number is #777 for CDMA networks and
*99***1# for GSM networks.
8. Now press the PPP Options... button and disable the Send PPP Echo packets and
Use TCP header compression options in the dialog then press the OK button. Note that with
Verizon you may actually need to enable the Send PPP Echo packets option to prevent
disconnecting after short period of inactivity.
9. Press the Apply Now button to save the network port settings.
10. Press the Dial Now button. In the displayed dialog press the Connect button to start the
connection. Note that for GPRS or EDGE connection the additional message box will appear
asking for the access point name (APN). Provide it and press the OK button to go on with the
connection process.
3.4. Connecting via Bluetooth
You need to configure the Bluetooth network port before using the Internet connection. See the
Configuring a Bluetooth Network Port section below. Take care of the Treo 680/700p/755p specific
setup (step 12) if you have such a device.
To connect, set the Treo Bluetooth in the discoverable mode, launch the USB Modem application, set
the Connectivity method to Bluetooth, enable the modem mode on the Treo and start the connection
on the Mac. There are plenty ways to do this. The easiest one is to tap on the phone connection icon in
the right side of the Mac OS X menu bar and select the Connect item in the pull-down list. For GPRS
or EDGE networks the additional message box will appear asking for the access point name (APN).
Type it in and press the OK button to continue connecting.
To disconnect, choose the Disconnect action in the connection's pull-down menu.
