Note You access WAP pages through an Internet Service
Provider (ISP) so, when you create a WAP account, you must
choose one of your existing Internet accounts or first create a
new one.

To create a new WAP account

1. Enter the name of the WAP account.

2. Select the Internet account you want to use.

Preferred

indicates the account set as preferred in the Internet setup.

3. If you are going to use a WAP gateway or a proxy, select the

Use Proxy

check box.

4. Enter the

Address

of the gateway or proxy.

5. Enter the

Port

of the gateway or proxy.

For a WAP gateway use:

– 9201 for a normal connection.

– 9203 for an encrypted secure connection.

If the gateway/proxy requires

Username

and

Password

, which

is very unusual, fill in the last two fields in the dialogue.

Preferred tab

Select the check box to set a preferred WAP account. It will be
used when you use the

Open page

command in the

Internet

application and when a page is opened from another P908
application.

If you do not set a preferred WAP account, the preferred Internet
account will be used when connecting to the Internet.

THER

TAB

The other tab contains all settings that are not related to the
device or connections. This is also where settings from system
components and add-ons, developed by third-party developers,
will be found.

Certificate manager

Digital certificates ensure that the Web or WAP pages you visit,
or any software you install, really are created by the person you
expect.

Certificates may be present on the pages that you view or the
software that you download. Your P908 compares these
certificates with a set of certificates that are stored in

Certificate

manager

to ensure the authenticity of the page or software. If the

certificates do not match, your P908 informs you, and gives you
the following choices:

Prevent the page being loaded or the software being installed.

Continue at your own risk.

The certificates on your P908 have been created and issued by
an independent organisation that ensures their authenticity.
