Proxy

A proxy server is a computer connected between your
P800 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 P800 to provide
features such as encryption, which increases the security of
your Internet connection.

Authenti
cation

Authentication is used by some network operators to
identify the mobile phone connecting to their GPRS
network. There are different methods, or protocols, for
doing this.

Normal

: PAP (Password Authentication Protocol). The

user's username and password are transmitted over the
network in an unencrypted form.

Secure

: CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication

Protocol). The user's username and password are never
transmitted over the network.

None

: No authentication is required by the network

operator.

Your ISP may require plain text authentication. If you
select the

Plain text authentication

check box, the security

of your connection will decrease during the connection
process. Once you are connected, the security of your
connection will be restored.

QoS

Check with your network operator before changing any of
the QoS (Quality of Service) settings.
If your operator supports the use of

Header compression

,

selecting

apply.
