•

A dial-up connection set up on your HP Jornada—

HP dialup makes this step easy.

•

Access to a telephone line—You can connect to an

analog telephone line with your HP Jornada 680. Or,

connect to the telephone line supported by your PC

Card modem if you have the HP Jornada 680e.

If you use the HP Jornada 680, you must use an analog telephone line to connect your

modem. Connecting to a digital telephone line can damage your modem.

Installing and configuring a modem

The HP Jornada 680 has a built-in 56K V.90 modem for

easy communication, so no installation is required. The

HP Jornada 680e supports a variety of available PC Card

modems. (For more information about compatible PC Card

modems, go to the HP Jornada Accessories page on the

Hewlett-Packard Web site at www.hp.com/jornada.) Follow

the manufacturer’s instructions included with the PC Card

modem to install and configure it for use with your

HP Jornada.

Establishing a network dial-up account

Before you can log on to your network using a modem, you

must establish a network account with your network

administrator. Most likely, you will dial in to a server that

has a modem installed to receive your call. The information

you need for this connection is similar to the information

needed to connect to the Internet through an ISP:

•

Your account user name.

•

Your account password.

•

Telephone number of the network server modem.

•

IP, DNS, and WINS addresses, if necessary.

•

Your e-mail user name or ID. (This may be the same as

your network user name.)
