Changing the Network preferences
Selecting a connection
Use the Connection setting to select the method you want to use to connect to 
your Internet Service Provider or a dial-in server.
1On the Network Preferences screen, tap the arrow V next 
to Connection and select Standard Modem.
Adding telephone settings
When you select the Phone field, your CLIÉ handheld opens a dialog box in 
which you define the telephone number you use to connect with your ISP or 
dial-in server. In addition, you can also define a prefix, disable Call Waiting, 
and give special instructions for using a calling card.
Note
The Phone Setup dialog box works correctly for AT&T and Sprint long- 
distance services. However, because MCI works differently, MCI customers 
need to put the calling card number in the Phone # field and the phone number 
in the Use calling card field.
1On the Network Preferences screen, tap the Phone field.
The Phone Setup screen is displayed.
2Enter the phone number for your ISP or dial-in server in the 
Phone # field.

3Change the following settings if necessary:
1Enter the telephone number used to access the modem.
If necessary, enter a dial prefix (such as “9”) to access an outside line, 
and tap the Dial prefix check box. You can enter a comma in the field 
to introduce a “pause” in the dialing sequence. Each comma equals a 
two second pause.
2If the phone line you are using for your CLIÉ handheld has Call 
Waiting, select the Disable call waiting check box to avoid an 
interruption during a modem HotSync
® operation.
Note
Each telephone company assigns a code to disable Call Waiting. Contact your 
local telephone company for the code you need.
3If you want to use a calling card to place the call, select the Use 
calling card check box and enter the calling card number.
Tip
There is usually a delay before you enter your calling card number.
Consequently, add at least three commas before your calling card number to 
compensate for the delay.
4Tap OK.
Adding detailed information to a service template
If you are using one of the predefined service templates, you probably only 
need to enter your user name and telephone number. If you are creating a new 
service template, you may need to provide additional information to your ISP 
or dial-in server. Use the Details dialog box to add additional information to 
a selected service template.
To select a connection type

from the TCP/IP server before executing the next 
command.
Wait For PromptDetects a challenge-response prompt coming from the 
server and displays the dynamically generated challenge 
value. Then enter the challenge value into your token 
card, which in turn generates a response value for you to 
enter on your CLIÉ handheld. This command takes two 
arguments, separated by a vertical bar (|) on the input line.

which you are connecting.
Send CRTransmits a carriage return or LF character to the TCP/IP 
server to which you are connecting.

Non-ASCII Characters for Log-in Scripts
The following information enables you to create custom log-in scripts that 
require non-ASCII characters. It is provided for advanced users who 
understand the use and requirements of such characters in a custom log-in 
script.
Use of ^char
You may use the caret ( ^ ) to transmit ASCII command characters. If you send 
^char, and the ASCII value of character is between @ and _, then the character 
is automatically translated to a single-byte value between 0 and 31.
For example, ^M is converted to a carriage return.
If character is a value between A and Z, then the character sequence is 
translated to a single-byte value between 1 and 26. If character is any other 
value, then the character sequence is not subject to any special processing. For 
example, the string “Joe^M” transmits Joe, followed by a carriage return.
Carriage return and line feed
You may include carriage return and line feed commands as part of the log-in 
script, when they are entered in the following format.
 : Sends or receives a carriage return
 : Sends or receives a line feed
For example, the string “waitfor Joe” waits to receive Joe followed by 
a carriage return and line feed from the remote computer before executing the 
next command in the script.
Literal characters
The backslash ( \ ) character defines that the next character is transmitted as a 
literal character, and is not subject to any special processing ordinarily 
associated with that character.
Examples:
 \^ : Includes a caret as part of the string
 \< : Includes a < as part of the string
 \ \ : Includes a backslash as part of the string
