Network Preferences and Palm TCP/IP Software
The Network Preferences settings enable you to use the Palm TCP/IP
software that comes with your Palm III 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 Palm 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 an external modem (such as the PalmPilot Modem) to
communicate with remote devices. For example, you can
communicate with your computer if you are away on travel or
your ISP server. See “Modem Preferences” 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: Palm TCP/IP provides the ability to connect to your ISP or
dial-in server, however, it does not come with any
applications to view the transmitted data. Visit the Palm
website (http://www.palm.com) for information on third-
party applications that take advantage of TCP/IP.
Selecting a Service
Use the Service setting to choose 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.
