GPRS Advanced tabs
Server User name and password
Normally, you do not have to enter a username and
password when you connect to a GPRS account.
However, some service providers may require you to
enter these details.
If you select the
Username and password required
check box, but do not enter a username and
password, you will be prompted to enter these when
the P910a connects.
Address
Enter the Internet address of your access point. The
address is supplied by your service provider.
Log in The settings on this tab deal with IP and DNS
addresses.
The DNS address uniquely identifies your Internet
Service Provider (ISP)'s computers, which your
P910a uses to connect to the Internet. Your P910a can
normally fetch these addresses automatically from
most ISPs.
If, after setting up an Internet account, you cannot
connect to the Internet and you suspect these
addresses are incorrect, ask your ISP for their
primary and secondary DNS addresses.
An IP address consists of four 3-digit boxes and valid
input is between 000 and 255 in each box.
Proxy A proxy server is a computer connected between
your P910a and the computer you communicate with.
This arrangement can be used for connections to
Remote Sync servers, or within a company network.
If this setting is needed, your company's Information
Services department or Remote Sync provider must
give you instructions.
Other If your ISP supports Point to Point Protocol (PPP)
extensions, you can select the
Enable PPP extensions
check box. PPP extensions allow your P910a to
provide features such as encryption, which increases
the security of your Internet connection.
