SPT 1700 Series Product Reference Guide
Note: Connection preferences settings enable your SPT 1700 terminal to
use an external modem (such as the SPT 1700 Modem Cradle) to
communicate with remote devices. For example, you can
communicate with your computer if you are away on travel or your
ISP server. Refer to
Connection Preferences on page 14-7 for a
complete explanation on how to configure modem parameters.
After you configure both the Network and Connection (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, by
using menu commands from the Network Preferences screen or by using a third-party
application.
Note: Symbol Palm Terminal Desktop TCP/IP provides the ability to
connect to your ISP or dial-in server, however, it does not come with
any applications to view the transmitted data. Visit the Symbol
website (http://www.symbol.com/palm) for information on third-party
applications that take advantage of TCP/IP.
Selecting a Service
Use the Service setting to choose the service template for your WAN, Internet Service
Provider or a dial-in server. Service templates are a set of ISP and dial-in server
configuration settings that you can create, save and reuse.
