Preliminary
Setting up WAP accounts
A WAP account defines a service provider and gateway that
should be used when making a connection to WAP services.
You also need a WAP account when you use MMS message
(Multimedia Messaging Service).
The WAP gateway sits between your P800 and the WAP site
coding and decoding information. You can set up details of
more than one gateway if necessary, for example one for your
MMS messaging, one to access corporate data over WAP, and
another to access your bank's WAP service.
The easiest way to set up a WAP account on your P800 is
automatically, through your service provider. Check your
service provider's website for information or contact their
support desk and ask about automatic setup.
Note You access WAP pages through an Internet Service
Provider (ISP) so, when you create a WAP account, you must
choose one of your existing Internet accounts or first create a
new one.
Manually set up a WAP account
Alternatively to setting up a WAP account automatically, you
can enter the settings manually from
WAP Accounts on the
Connections tab of the Control panel .
First collect all the information you will need. You can obtain
this information from the WAP service provider, or if you are
connecting to a corporate network, your IT Manager.
All settings are described in “WAP accounts” on page 145.
To set up a new account follow the steps under “To create a new
WAP account:” on page 145.
Using your P800 as a modem
Your P800 contains a complete GSM/GPRS modem, so you can
use it to connect your PC to the Internet or corporate
intranet.Your P800 appears to the laptop like a normal modem.
