4. Getting connected
Your Xda Atom has powerful networking
functions that enable you to connect to the
Internet using a number of different methods,
for example, GPRS network or a Bluetooth
modem. You can also use an external modem
with this device to access the Internet.
You can set up connections to the Internet
and to a corporate network at work to browse
the Internet, send and receive E-mail, use
instant messages, and synchronize with
ActiveSync.
There are two types of connection settings:
My ISP and My Work Network. My ISP
settings are used to connect to the Internet,
and My Work Network settings can be used
to connect to any private network, such as
a corporate network. Fill in the settings and
you are ready to connect to the Internet.
4.1 Making a connection
The simplest way to get your Xda Atom
connected to the network is to activate
AutoConfigurator (Please refer to 12.2 Auto-
Configurator). Below are the options you can
change manually:
CSD Line Type
This program allows you to choose the line
type when you make a circuit switch data
connection.
To change a CSD Line type:
1. Tap the Start > Settings > Connections >
CSD Line Type.
2. Define the value for Data Rate. In
Connection element, choose a type
from that drop-down menu. Tap OK.
Please note
The default setting on your Xda Atom is
set for optimal use. Do not change this
setting unless you have trouble using
the circuit switch data connection.
GPRS
The General Packet Radio Service (GPRS)
allows information to be sent and received
across a mobile telephone network. To use
GPRS service, you need to choose between
the following two authentication methods:
• PAP authentication: Password
Authentication Protocol is a simple
authentication protocol that is used to
verify a user to a remote access server of
an ISP (Internet Network operator).

Handshake Authentication Protocol is
used to negotiate the most secure form
of encrypted authentication supported by
both server and client.
