166 Getting started with Internet and Messaging
Setting up WAP accounts
A WAP account (sometimes called a WAP profile) 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 P900 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 P900 is
automatically, via your service provider. Check your service
provider's Web site for information or contact their support desk
and ask about automatic setup. You can also find more
information, and settings for many operators on:

Note You access WAP pages through an Internet Service
Provider (ISP) so, when you create a WAP account, you must
select one of your existing Internet accounts or first create a
new one.
Manually set up a WAP account
Instead of setting up a WAP account automatically, you can
enter the settings manually from
Control panel > Connections >
WAP accounts .
First collect all the information you require. You can obtain this
information from the WAP service provider, or if you are
connecting to a corporate network, your information services
manager.
All settings are described in ‘WAP accounts’ on page 156.
To set up a new account, follow the steps under ‘To create a new
WAP account’ on page 157.
Using your P900 as a modem
Your P900 contains a complete GSM/GPRS modem, so you can
use it to connect your PC to the Internet or corporate
intranet.Your P900 appears to the laptop like a normal modem.
You link the laptop to your P900 using Bluetooth wireless
technology, infrared, or cable (USB or serial).The connection
over the air can be by any of the bearers that your P900
supports:
•GPRS
• HSCSD (High-speed Circuit-Switched Data)
• CSD (Circuit-Switched Data).
A Windows® modem driver file and a PC utility, the
Dialup
Networking Wizard, is provided on your PC Suite for P900 CD. The
wizard will help you configure DUN (Dialup Networking)
entries on your PC for GPRS and HSCSD connections.
