Depending on the connection type selected in Data bearer, only certain settings
are available. Fill in all fields marked with Must be defined or with an asterisk.
Contact your service provider for the following settings: Data bearer, Access point
name (for packet data only), Dial-up number (for data call only), User name,
Password, Authentication, Homepage, Data call type (for data call only), and
Maximum data speed (for data call only).
Connection name—Enter a descriptive name for the connection.
Prompt password—If you must enter a new password every time you log onto a
server, or if you do not want to save your password to the phone, select Yes.
If necessary, to define the internet protocol (IP) version, phone IP address, domain
name system (DNS) servers, proxy server, and advanced data call settings, such as
callback, PPP compression, login script, and modem initialization string, select
Options > Advanced settings. Contact your service provider for the correct
settings.
Packet data
The packet data settings affect all access points using a packet data connection.
Packet data connection—If you select When available and you are in a network
that supports packet data, the phone registers to the packet data network and
short messages are sent using a packet data connection. If you select When
needed, the phone uses a packet data connection only if you start an application
or function that needs it. The packet data connection can be closed when it is not
needed by any application.
If there are no packet data services available and you have chosen When available,
the phone periodically tries to establish a packet data connection.
Access point—The access point name is needed when you want to use your phone
as a modem with your computer.
Data call
The data call settings affect all access points that use a GSM data call.
