An internet access point is a collection of settings, which

define how the device creates a data connection to the

network. To use e-mail and multimedia services or to browse

web pages, you must first define access points for these

services.
Some or all access points may be preset for your device by

your service provider, and you may not be able to create, edit,

or remove them.
To create a new access point, select

Options

>

New access

point

or select an existing access point from the list and then

Options

>

to use the access point

as a basis for the new one.

Packet

data

.

Your device supports packet data connections, such as GPRS

in the GSM network. When you are using your device in GSM

and UMTS networks, it is possible to have multiple data

connections active at the same time; access points can share

a data connection, and data connections remain active, for

example, during voice calls.

See "Connection

manager," p. 101.

To define the packet data settings, select

Packet data

connection

and select

When available

to register the

device to the packet data network when you switch the

device on in a supported network, or

When needed

to

establish a packet data connection only when an application

or action requires it. Select

Access point

and enter the access

point name provided by your service provider to use the

device as a packet data modem to your computer.
These settings affect all access points for packet data

connections.
