1. INTRODUCTION To access the Internet (in order to use WWW, WAP or mail), • the cellular network (GSM 900/1800) you use must support data calls, • the data service (also the High-speed [HSCSD] service if used) must be activated for your SIM card • you must have obtained an Internet Access Point (IAP) from an Internet service provider, and • you must have entered the proper Internet settings in your communicator.

outside your home network), using analog connections may help you to establish a connection. 4. Set the Maximum connection speed. When your Connection type is Normal, only autobauding, 9600 and 14400 are available. Different, higher connection speeds are available with different combinations of High speed settings. Higher data rates may cost more, depending on the network service provider. The speed indicated here is the maximum speed that will be used.
1. To activate the Callback tab, press the Menu key. 2. Set Use callback to Yes if you have a service that dials back to your phone when you establish an Internet connection. Callback works as follows: you first dial into the IAP, and request callback. The data call is then closed. Within a minute, the IAP has to call back to your communicator. 3. Select the Callback type.
1.2.5 Setting script options If you need to define script options for your Internet connections, move to the Other page of the Advanced settings dialog, and then press Script options. A script can automate the connection between the communicator and the server. Note: Scripts are not usually required when you establish a connection. To find out whether you need a script, contact your ISP.
2. In the Address options dialog, you can set the addresses of your Internet services. IP addresses are unique strings of numbers that point to computers on the network. Set Auto retrieve IP address to Yes if you want to obtain the IP addresses automatically from the server (this is also called the dynamic IP). To type in the IP addresses on the fields below, select No. Type in your IP address if Auto retrieve IP address is set to No. In this case, your ISP will provide you with a fixed IP address. 3.
In addition to the settings discussed above, you can also edit the following settings: • • • Preferred connection: If you have configured several Internet access points, select which one is the preferred one when connecting to the Internet. If idle, stay online: The connection to the Internet will automatically close after the inactivity period defined here. The options are For 2 minutes / For 5 minutes / For 10 minutes / For 60 minutes.
3. TROUBLESHOOTING INTERNET CONNECTIONS Internet connections, by their nature, are prone to difficulties. There are several players involved: your communicator and its settings; the GSM network service provider(s); the Internet Service Provider and its settings; the server administration, and the connections in the Internet that may travel through several different operators. If Internet connections fail, it will help greatly if you can eliminate some of these factors from the problem.
• If the status indication reads "Waiting for reply from host" or "Looking up host name," it is likely that the WWW address (URL) has been mistyped, or that there is a problem with proxy server settings in the Internet Access Point or the proxy server itself, or else that there is a transient problem with the WWW server or Internet connections between the WWW server and your Internet Service Provider.
