Defining an IP address for a Mobile IP service template
Everyone who logs on to the Internet needs to have a unique identifier 
(an IP address), whether permanent or temporary. Some networks 
dynamically assign a temporary IP address when clients log in. The IP 
Address field lets you identify whether your network provides automatic 
(dynamic) temporary IP addressing.
Note: Most networks automatically assign IP addresses. Leave the 
Automatic IP Address option checked unless you are certain you need to 
manually enter IP address information.
To identify dynamic IP addressing:
1.
Tap Advanced.
2.Tap the IP Address check box to select it.

Adding detailed information to a Simple IP service template
A Simple IP service template provides a persistent data connection while 
inside your home service area. A Simple IP configuration does not 
support a persistent data connection as you move between data service 
regions.
If you are creating a new Simple IP service template, you need to provide 
additional information to connect to your packet data network. You use 
the Details and Advanced dialog boxes to add additional information to 
the selected service template.
To define a Simple IP service template:
1.
Tap Details.

Defining DNS addresses in a Simple IP service template
The Domain Naming System (DNS) is a mechanism in the Internet for 
translating the names of host computers into IP addresses. When you 
enter a DNS number (or IP address), you are identifying a specific server 
that handles the translation services.
Each IP address has four sections, separated by periods. In the Details 
dialog box, you enter each section separately. Each section of an IP 
address is made up of a number from 0 to 255; numbers are the only 
allowable characters in this field.
Ask your System Administrator for the correct Primary or Secondary DNS 
IP numbers.
Note: Most networks automatically provide DNS information. Leave the 
Query DNS option checked unless you are certain you need to manually 
enter DNS information.

Troubleshooting network connections
If you are having a problem establishing a network connection, check 
this section and try the suggestions listed.
Checking your wireless service status
Make sure the wireless mode on your phone is active and that you are in 
a coverage area. The LED on the top of your phone and the signal bars at 
the top of the PhoneBook screen provide visual cues about the wireless 
mode status. See page 7 and page 82 for details.
Displaying expanded Service Connection Progress messages
It’s helpful to identify at what point in the login procedure the 
connection fails. An easy way to do this is to display the expanded Service 
Connection Progress messages. Expanded Service Connection Progress 
messages describe the current stage of the login procedure. Press the 
bottom scroll button at any point during login to display these messages. 
						

							Section 7
210 Setting Preferences for Your Phone
Viewing the Network Log
If viewing the expanded Service Connection Progress messages does not 
give you enough information to find out why you cannot connect to your 
packet data network, take a look at the Network Log. The Network Log 
lists all of the communication that occurs between your phone and your 
server during the login procedure. The information in the Network Log 
can help your System Administrator pinpoint where the login procedure 
fails and why.
To view the Network Log:
1.
Press Menu  . 
2.Under Options, select View Log (/V).
3.Use the scroll buttons to see the entire Network Log.
4.Hold Option   and press Return   to finish.
Adding a DNS number
If your packet data server requires a DNS number and you did not enter 
that information in the Network Preferences screen, it will appear that 
you successfully logged into your network. When you try to use an 
application or look up information, however, the connection fails. If this 
occurs, try adding a DNS number. Ask your System Administrator for the 
correct Primary and Secondary DNS IP numbers.
Owner Preferences
The Owner Preferences screen enables you to record a name, company 
name, phone number, or any other information that you want to 
associate with your phone.
If you use the Security application to turn off and lock your phone with a 
password, information that you put in the Owner Preferences displays the 
next time you turn on your phone. 
To enter the Owner Preferences:
©Enter the text that you want to associate with your phone in the 
Owner Preferences screen. If you enter more text than can fit on one 
screen, a scroll bar automatically appears on the right side of the 
screen.
