Communication Setups
One set of Connections parameters for a particular setup is called a “connection setup.”
Connections supports two types of connection setups: dial-up connection setups and LAN
connection setups.
Dial-up Connection Setup
A dial-up setup is used when you plug into a telephone line and dial up a server to connect to the
Internet, normally through your provider. The following are some of the parameters you need to
configure when creating a dial-up connection setup.

You can store more than one dial-up connection setup in Connections and select the one you need
when you need it.
LAN Connection Setup
A LAN setup is used when connect to the Internet through a LAN (network) at your office, etc.
The following are some of the parameters you need to configure when creating a LAN connection
setup.
• Setup name
