The APN server resource to contact, for example,

Bearer
capability:
CSD or GPRS/

provider, so you can select the appropriate option during set up.
CSD Network
Speed If you intend to create connections via CSD, contact your network operator
and check the supported speeds.
Username The username your service provider gave you when the account was set
up. Some dial-up accounts do not require a Username. In this case, leave
the field blank.
Password Password associated with the username, given to you by the service
provider. Some dial-up accounts do not require a Password. In this case,
leave the field blank.
IP assignment:
Server / Static An ‘address’ that the service provider knows you by and uses to route
information to and from your GC89. Your IP address will either be:
Server - assigned by the service provider when you connect.
Static - assigned once by the service provider or the IT Manager.
If your IP address is Static, you must enter it into IP address fields which is
available when you select Advanced in the Connection Wizard.
DNS
assignment:
Server / Static This tells the GC89 where to find the service provider’s DNS Service.
DNS translates addresses such as www.SonyEricsson.com to the numeric
IP address so that the information can be accessed.
Like IP assignment above, the DNS can be static or allocated by the
service provider when you connect. If static is selected, additional fields
need to be completed containing the static information.
IP address Only required if the IP assignment is static.
Format example: 123.9.45.3.
Do not enter any leading 0s when typing in IP address.
Primary DNS Only required if the DNS assignment is static.
Format example:123.9.45.2
Secondary DNS Only required if the DNS assignment is static.
Format example: 123.9.45.1
Access Point
Name (APN) If the APN is set to default you will have to enter the name of the access
point your network operator is using.
