LAN access points

A LAN access point enabled with Bluetooth technology provides an entry point
into a local area network. You can log onto these networks from your handheld to
access services such as e-mail and the Internet.

LAN access points can be located in private, corporate or in public areas. In some
cases there may be a fee to use a LAN access point. To access a LAN access point
from your handheld, you must set your Network Preferences as described in the
sections that follow.

Accessing the Internet with a Bluetooth phone or LAN access point

With your handheld’s built-in Bluetooth technology, you can connect to the
Internet using a Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone or a LAN access point. To
connect to a Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone or LAN access point, you must be
within range of these devices. If you have a GSM mobile phone and subscribe to
high-speed wireless data services with your mobile phone carrier, you can use
these services to connect to the Internet when you are within range of the high-
speed wireless data network.

You can also configure Internet access with a GSM phone or high-speed wireless
data network using the Phone Link application. We recommend using Phone Link
to enter these settings. See

“Setting up a phone connection”

in

Chapter 12

for

details. Use the steps described in this section only if you are unable to create a
connection with Phone Link and you have already used the Connection
Preferences screen to create a trusted pair for your phone, high-speed data
network, or LAN access point. See

“Creating Bluetooth connections”

earlier in this

chapter for additional information.

To configure Internet access with a Bluetooth phone or LAN access point:

1.

From the Communications Preferences screen, select Network.

2.

Tap the Service pick list and select the name of your ISP or network service. See

“To select a network service profile:”

earlier in this chapter for details.

If the name of your service does not appear on the list, see

“Adding detailed

information to a network service profile”

later in this chapter for information on

adding an item to the Service pick list.
