To increase security on the Wi-Fi network

The LEAP (Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol) feature of

Comm Manager helps increase security on your phone, and ensures that

nobody is able to access your network without your permission.

1.

On the Wi-Fi Settings screen, select LEAP.

2.

Select Menu > New.

Note By default, the LEAP screen displays data that you entered previously.

However, you can modify or delete the data as required by selecting

Menu > Modify or Menu > Delete on the LEAP screen.

3.

Enter the SSID (Service Set Identifier).

You can obtain this information from T-Mobile.

4.

Enter the user name, password, and domain.

5.

Select an Authentication Type. By default, the Authentication Type

for your phone is Open System authentication.

Note

For LEAP to work correctly, the receiving phone (your phone) must be set

with the same SSID, user name, and password as the access point.

8.4 GPRS/EDGE

You can use GPRS/EDGE to connect to the Internet or to send and receive

Picture Messages on your phone. You need a data plan to access the

T-Mobile GPRS/EDGE network.

Note

T-Mobile GPRS/EDGE settings are already preconfigured and modifying them

may cause services to stop working.

To set up a new GPRS/EDGE connection

If GPRS/EDGE settings are not preset on your phone or are accidentally

deleted, obtain the Access point name from T-Mobile. Also, check with

T-Mobile if a user name and password are required.

1.

On the Home screen, select Start > Settings > Connections > GPRS

> New.

2.

In Description, enter a name for the connection.

3.

In Connects to, select The Internet.
