Browsing the Web or Using E-mail

Now that you have a connection service set up, you should use the Network

Connect icon in the status bar at the bottom of the screen. The red X on the icon

means that you are not connected. Click on the icon and then choose which

service you would like to connect to. In our

example, we choose Logan_Wifi. It will take

a couple of seconds to connect and then show

the Connected network and

Wifi Card icons. You can

now launch the Opera™ web browser or use

your E-mail program. When you are not using these programs, it is recommended that you close

the network connection as it would otherwise discharge your battery faster. If one of these

applications says “Can’t find DNS server”, this is a sign that you have lost your Wifi connection.

Use the status bar icon to disconnect and then try reconnecting again.

Making an Infrared connection

Your PMA430 has an Infrared port which permits you to connect via a mobile phone to the

internet. Please be aware that a number of factors, such as your service provider and your mobile

phone manufacturer's parameters, influence the success of this connection.

You have 2 options for setting up an Infrared connection:

1) HSCSD/GSM connection

This is the standard way where the connection is made as a normal phone call at the speed of a

9,6k modem. For this connection, you require an Internet Service Provider (ISP) who will provide

you with information necessary to establish the connection, such as a user name, password and

access phone number.

2) GPRS connection

This relatively recent standard permits you to establish a direct digital connection which tends be

faster than the HSCSD/GSM connection. This connection is typically billed per megabyte

transferred rather than connection time. Some mobile phone providers require you to take a data

subscription service in order to use GPRS.

Setting up the connection follows a similar procedure as setting up the Wifi connection, as

described above. You need to select the “Dial-up – PPP IrDA”. You will require the following

information:

Account Tab

Name A name of your choosing to identify this connection

For a HSCSD/GSM connection:

Username Your identifier provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP)

Password The corresponding password, provided by your ISP

Phone The access phone number of your ISP

For a GPRS connection:

Username Contact your telephone service provider for a user name required by the

GPRS service. If this service does not require a user name, type 123.

Password Contact your telephone service provider for a password required by the

GPRS service. If this service does not require a password, type 123.

Phone A phone code provide by your phone’s manufacturer (ex. *99# for some

Nokia phones). You should find this in your phone manufacturer’s

manual under GPRS activation or through your GPRS data service

provider.

Modem tab

AT-dial ATDT (dial tone) or ATDP (dial pulse) designate the dialing method. A

mobile phone uses ATDT. (GSM connection)

Speed If this parameter is available, set it to 115200 to match the PMA’s internal

hardware configuration. (GSM connection)

Wait time Allows the server this amount of time for the modem connection. (GSM

connection)

Demand dialing The connection can be dialed and disconnected automatically (e.g. when

starting Opera

) or manually using the network connection icon on the Status

bar . Attention: when you set this parameter to Auto on/off, you have to make

the first connection manually.
