Setting up WAP accounts
A WAP account (sometimes called a WAP profile) defines a
service provider and gateway that should be used when making
a connection to WAP services. You also need a WAP account
when you use MMS message (Multimedia Messaging Service).
The WAP gateway sits between your P908 and the WAP site
coding and decoding information. You can set up details of more
than one gateway if necessary, for example one for your MMS
messaging, one to access corporate data over WAP, and another
to access your bank's WAP service.
The easiest way to set up a WAP account on your P908 is
automatically, through your service provider. Contact your
service provider's support desk and ask about automatic setup.
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.
Manually set up a WAP account
Alternatively to setting up a WAP account automatically, you
can enter the settings manually from
Control panel >
Connections > WAP accounts .
First collect all the information you will need. You can obtain
this information from the WAP service provider, or if you are
connecting to a corporate network, your information services
manager.
All settings are described in ‘WAP accounts’ on page 164.
To set up a new account follow the steps under ‘To create a new
WAP account’ on page 165.
Using your P908 as a modem
Your P908 contains a complete GSM/GPRS modem, so you can
use it to connect your PC to the Internet or corporate
intranet.Your P908 appears to the laptop like a normal modem.
You link the laptop to your P908 using Bluetooth wireless
technology, infrared, or cable (USB or serial).The connection
over the air can be by any of the bearers that your P908
supports:
• GPRS
• HSCSD (High-speed Circuit Switched Data)
• CSD (Circuit Switched Data).
A Windows® modem driver file and a PC utility, the Dial-Up
Networking Wizard, is provided on your PC Suite for P908 CD. The
wizard will help you configure DUN (Dial-Up Networking)
entries on your PC for GPRS and HSCSD connections.
