Making a Data Connection

Making Packet Data Connections

Packet data connections can be either

■ Packet (PPP) data only (example: browsing the Internet)

■ Asynchronous data with PPP data (example: dialing into a modem

behind a firewall, then accessing a corporate intranet)

To make a connection using PPP data

1. Make sure the Tri-Mode Phone is properly connected to your Palm

handheld (as described in “Connecting Palm Components” on page 77).

2. Power up your Tri-Mode Phone.

3. Rotate or fully extend the appropriate antenna for the type of

connection you wish to make (Globalstar satellite or cellular, as shown

on page 79) and make sure you have a Globalstar or cellular signal.

4. On your Palm handheld, go to the

Preferences/Network screen and tap

Connect.

Note

When making asynchronous data or digital cellular calls, a “User

Name” is required to make a connection. Globalstar packet data

calls do not require a user name or password.
