Getting Connected 99

10.2 Connecting to the Internet

Dial-up connection

Your device’s networking capability allows you to access the Internet through the dial-up connection. Settings
for connecting to your service provider’s 1xRTT/EVDO network are already preconfigured on your device, and
your device is ready to connect to the Internet. Please do not change these settings as this may cause your
data connection to stop working.

If you need to use another dial-up connection from an ISP (Internet Service Provider), you can manually
add it to your device. To establish a dial-up connection on your device, you need the same settings that you
normally use when you dial up from your computer. This includes the ISP server phone number, your user
name and password.

1.

Tap Start > Settings > Connections tab > Connections.

2.

Under My ISP, tap Add a new modem connection.

3.

On the Make New Connection screen, enter a name for the connection.

4.

In the Select a modem list, select Cellular Line, then tap Next.

5.

Enter the ISP server phone number, then tap Next.

6.

Enter your user name, password, and any other information required by your ISP.

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection allows you to access your company network through your device’s
Internet connection. Whereas a proxy connection lets you access the Internet using an existing connection to
your corporate or WAP network.

Server phone number

Complete the connection wizard, then tap Finish.

Start a data connection

After setting up a data connection such as the ISP dial-up on your device, you can now connect your device
to the Internet. The connection is started automatically when you begin using a program that accesses the
Internet such as Internet Explorer® Mobile.

To manually start a data connection

If you have set up multiple types of data connections on your device, you can manually start a connection.
