Login scripts
A login script is a series of commands that automates logging in to a network
server, for example, your corporate network or your Internet Service Provider
(ISP). A login script is associated with a specific service template created in
Network Preferences.
A login script is something that you are likely to receive from your IS System
Administrator if your company has a system in which you log in to the corporate
servers from your handheld using a modem or network connection. The script is
generally prepared by the System Administrator and distributed to users who
need it. It automates the events that must take place in order to establish a
connection between your handheld and the corporate servers.
You can create login scripts in two ways:
■ In a text editor on your desktop computer, in which you create a file with the
extension PNC, which you then install on your handheld using the Install Tool
(this method is not available to Mac computer users)
■ In the Login Script dialog box on your handheld, accessed from the Details
dialog box in Network Preferences
