New Dial-Up or High-Speed Dial-Up account
Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) supplies you with your
Username
, your
Password
, and their
Phone number
, which your
P900 dials to connect to the Internet. If you have a High-Speed
Dial-Up account with your network operator you can increase
the speed of your connection by making settings on the
Speed
tab under
Advanced
.
Tip To avoid having to change the phone number when you
travel abroad: enter the international dialling prefix (for
example '+') and the appropriate country code for your ISP.
For some accounts you may also need to make advanced
settings.
Select
Advanced
and enter settings on the tabs as described
below
Authentication
is used by some network operators to
identify the mobile phone connecting to their GPRS
network. There are different methods, or protocols,
for doing this.
Normal

The user's username and password are transmitted
over the network in an unencrypted form.
Secure
: CHAP (Challenge Handshake
Authentication Protocol). The user's username and
password are never transmitted over the network.
None
: No authentication is required by the network
operator.

any of the QoS (Quality of Service) settings.
