Setting Preferences for Your Communicator

Entering Details for dial-in, ISDN, infrared and USB/serial settings

If you are using a copy of a predefined service template, you probably do not need to enter Details
settings. If you are creating a new service template, you may need to provide additional
information for your ISP or dial-in server. You use the Details dialog box to enter Fallback and Idle
timeout settings for the selected service template.

The Fallback setting specifies an alternate network service to use if the current selection fails.
The Idle timeout setting defines how long your communicator waits before dropping the
connection with your ISP or dial-in server when you switch out of a TCP/IP application.

To set Details for a dial-in or ISDN service template:

1. Tap Details.

2. Tap the Fallback pick list and select the network service you want to use if the current

selection fails.

3. Tap the Idle timeout pick list and select one of the following options:

4. Hold Option

and press Return

to finish.
