Getting Connected
Connect to Work
If you have access to a network at work, you can send email messages,
view intranet pages, synchronize your device, and possibly access the
Internet. You can connect to work in one of two ways:
■ Create a modem connection by using a RAS account. Before you can
create this modem connection, your network administrator will need to
set up a RAS account for you. If this is the method you want to use, see
“ To create a modem connection to a network ”. Your network
administrator may also give you VPN settings.
■ Use an Ethernet card and a net tap to connect to the network. If this is
the method you want to use, see “ To create an Ethernet connection to a
network ”.
To create a modem connection to a network
1. Get the following information from your network administrator: dial-up
access telephone number, user name, password, domain name, and
TCP/IP settings.
2. If your device does not have a built-in modem, install a modem card.
3. Tap ,
Settings, Connections and then tab Connections.
4. In My Work Network, tap Add a new modem connection, and follow
the instructions in the New Connection wizard.
5. Enter a name for the connection, such as your company's name.
6. In the Select a modem list, tap your modem type. If you are using any
type of external modem, in the Select a modem list, select the modem
by name. If a listing does not exist for your external modem, tap Hayes
Compatible on COM1.
7. Enter the phone number exactly as you want it dialed. If you know part
of the phone number will change frequently as you travel, use dialing
rules to avoid creating numerous modem connections for the same
phone number.
8. Enter your user name, password, and domain name as provided by
your network administrator. If a domain name was not provided, try the
connection without entering a domain name.
9. You should not need to change any advanced settings. Instances where
you will want to change advanced settings include:
■ You want to change baud rate settings, dialing string commands, or
credit card options.
■ You need to change port settings.
■ The server you are connecting to does not use dynamically-
assigned addresses, and you need to enter your TCP/IP settings.
To change advanced settings, tap Advanced. Otherwise, tap Finish.
