New Dial-Up or High-Speed Dial-Up account
Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) supplies you with your User
name , your Password , and their Phone number , which your P910a
dials to connect to the Internet. If you have a High-Speed Dial-
Up account with your network operator you can increase the
speed of your connection by making settings on the
Speed tab
under Advanced .
Tip To avoid having to change the phone number when you
travel abroad: enter the international dialing prefix (for
example '+') and the appropriate country code for your ISP.
For some accounts you may also need to make advanced
settings.
Select Advanced and enter settings on the tabs as described
below
Authentication is used by some network operators to
identify the mobile phone connecting to their GPRS
network. There are different methods, or protocols,
for doing this.
Normal : PAP (Password Authentication Protocol).
The user's username and password are transmitted
over the network in an unencrypted form.
Secure : CHAP (Challenge Handshake
Authentication Protocol). The user's username and
password are never transmitted over the network.
None : No authentication is required by the network
operator.
QoS Check with your network operator before changing
any of the QoS (Quality of Service) settings.
The settings
Precedence , Delay , Peak rate , and Mean
rate are all by default set to Subscribed , which means
that your operators default QoS (Quality of Service)
values will apply.
Reliability is set as Class 3 by
default.

Dial-Up and High-Speed Dial-Up Advanced tabs
Log in The settings on this tab deal with IP and DNS addresses.
For an explanation of these settings, see
Log in in the
‘GPRS Advanced tabs’ on page 157.
Script As an alternative to entering your username and password
to access the Internet you may need to use a login script
stored on your P910a. Although uncommon, scripts may
be required by your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
Select the
Use login script check box and enter the script
text in the Script editor .
If you select the check box Plain text authentication
(required by some ISPs), the security of your connection
will decrease during the connection process. Once you
are connected, the security of your connection will be
restored.
