Network preferences and TCP/IP software
The Network Preferences settings enable you to use the TCP/IP
software that is included in the organizer operating system. You can
use the TCP/IP software to connect with Internet Service Providers
(ISPs) or dial-in (remote access) servers. Because the TCP/IP software
is a feature of the operating system, you configure all parameters
relating to it from the Preferences application.
To use TCP/IP, you must configure both the Modem Preferences and
the Network Preferences settings.
Note: Modem Preferences settings enable your Palm III organizer to
use a modem to communicate with remote devices. For
example, you can communicate with your ISP server, or with
your computer if you are away on travel. See “Modem
preferences” earlier in this chapter for a complete explanation
on how to configure modem parameters.
After you configure both the Network and Modem Preferences, you
can establish a PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol), SLIP (Serial Line Internet
Protocol), or CSLIP (Compressed Serial Line Internet Protocol)
connection with your ISP or dial-in server. You can do this either by
using menu commands from the Network Preferences screen or by
using a third-party application.
Note: TCP/IP provides the ability to connect to your ISP or dial-in
server with applications that allow you to view the
transmitted data. Visit the web site http://www.palm.com for
information on third-party applications that take advantage of
TCP/IP.
Selecting a service
Use the Service setting to select the service template for your Internet
Service Provider or a dial-in server. Service templates are a set of ISP
and dial-in server configuration settings that you can create, save, and
reuse.
