Network Preferences and Palm TCP/IP Software
The Network Preferences settings enable you to use the Palm TCP/IP software that comes
with your SPT 1500 terminal operating system. You can use the TCP/IP software to connect
with Internet Service Providers (ISPs) or dial-in (remote access) servers. Because the TCP/IP
software is a feature of the operating system, you configure all parameters relating to it from
the Preferences application.
To use Palm TCP/IP, you must configure both the Modem Preferences and the Network
Preferences settings.
Note: Modem Preferences settings enable your SPT 1500 terminal to use an
external modem (such as the PalmPilot Modem) to communicate with
remote devices. For example, you can communicate with your
computer if you are away on travel or your ISP server. See Modem
Preferences on page 11-9 for a complete explanation on how to
configure modem parameters.
After you configure both the Network and Modem Preferences, you can establish a PPP
(Point-to-Point Protocol), SLIP (Serial Line Internet Protocol) or CSLIP (Compressed Serial
Line Internet Protocol) connection with your ISP or dial-in server. You can do this either by
using menu commands from the Network Preferences screen or by using a third-party
application.
