CHAPTER 25 Customizing Your Handheld
Connecting your handheld to other devices
Connection Preferences let you connect your handheld to other devices. You can use preset
connection settings, modify the preset settings, or create your own connection settings from
scratch. The list of preset connections varies depending on the applications you’ve added to your
handheld.
For example, you can create a connection between the IR port
of your handheld and a modem so that you can dial in to your
ISP or corporate network. The modem can be attached to or
within a mobile phone or other device containing an IR port.
(Some infrared phones can act as modems. To set up a phone
connection, you must have a GSM or GPRS mobile phone
enabled with data services and a driver for your phone. Check
www.palmOne.com
for available phone drivers or contact the
phone manufacturer.)
Changing the preset connection settings
The following steps show you how to adjust the communication speed in the preset IR to a
PC/Handheld connection setting. You can similarly edit other connections or settings.
