who supplies you with account details including: a username, a 
password, and the phone number or web site address that your 
P800 automatically uses to access the Internet. You need to set 
up an Internet account before you can:
• Access web pages and download multimedia messages.
• Set up an e-mail account to send and receive e-mail 
messages.
TipA simple way of setting up an Internet account is to ask your 
service provider to send you a message that contains the 
required information to create an account automatically on your 
P800.There are three types of Internet account:
The dialog has two tabs:

 and enter settings on the 
tabs as described below:
GPRS Advanced tabsServer User name and password
Normally, you do not have to enter a user name and 
password when you connect to a GPRS account. However, 
some service providers may require you to enter these 
details. 
If you select the 
User name and password required
 check 
box, but do not enter a user name and password, you will 
be prompted to enter these when the P800 connects.
AddressEnter the Internet address of your access point. The address 
is supplied by your service provider.
Log in
The settings on this tab deal with IP and DNS addresses.
The DNS address uniquely identifies your Internet Service 
Provider (ISP)s computers, which your P800 uses to 
connect to the Internet. Your P800 can normally fetch these 
addresses automatically from most ISPs. 
If, after setting up an Internet account, you cannot connect 
to the Internet and you suspect these addresses are 
incorrect, ask your ISP for their primary and secondary 
DNS addresses. 
						

							Control panel147This is the Internet version of the user’s guide. © Print only for private use. 
IP address types
There are four different types of IP addresses:
•IPv4
: Consists of four 3-digit boxes and valid input is 
between 000 and 256 in each box. 
•
IPv6
: Consists of eight hexadecimal boxes and valid input 
is between 0000 and FFFF in each box.
•
IPv4
 compatible
: Consists of four 3-digit boxes and valid 
input is between 000 and 256 in each box.
•
IPv4
 mapped
: Consists of four 3-digit boxes and valid 
input is between 000 and 256 in each box.
IPv4 is the most common addressing method.
Proxy
A proxy server is a computer connected between your 
P800 and the computer you communicate with. This 
arrangement can be used for connections to Remote Sync 
servers, or within a company network. If this setting is 
needed, your companys Information Services department 
or Remote Sync provider must give you instructions.
Other
If your ISP supports Point to Point Protocol (PPP) 
extensions, you can select the 
Enable PPP extensions
 
check box. PPP extensions allow your P800 to provide 
features such as encryption, which increases the security of 
your Internet connection. GPRS Advanced tabs
Authenti
cationAuthentication 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
: PAP (Password Authentication Protocol). The 
users username and password are transmitted over the 
network in an unencrypted form. 
Secure
: CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication 
Protocol). The users username and password are never 
transmitted over the network. 
None
: No authentication is required by the network 
operator.
Your ISP may require plain text authentication. If you 
select the 
Plain text authentication
 check box, the security 
of your connection will decrease during the connection 
process. Once you are connected, the security of your 
connection will be restored.

the QoS (Quality of Service) settings.
If your operator supports the use of 
Header compression
, 
selecting 
On can speed up your connection.
The settings Precedence
, Delay
, Peak rate
, and 
Mean Rate
 
are all by default set to 
Subscribed

Please note that your P800 can be used for either voice (or GSM 
data) calls or transferring GPRS data, but not both at the same 
time. It may however still be connected to GPRS. As an 
example, during GPRS data transfer (Icon:  ) your P800 may 
not receive incoming calls. As soon as the transfer stops (Icon: 
) incoming calls will be accepted.
Setting the 
Preferred Mode
 lets you choose how you want to use 
your P800:
• Select 
GPRS only
 if you do not want to be disturbed by 
incoming phone calls while browsing the web. All incoming 
voice (and GSM data) calls are rejected. If you disconnect 
from the Internet, incoming calls can be received. Outgoing 
calls are possible, except during data transfer. This mode is 
useful if you are using sensitive Internet services, such as 
banking. 
• If you select 
GSM only
, your P800 will not be connected to the 
GPRS network. If you choose to download e-mail or browse 
the web, your P800 will connect to GPRS only as long as is 
needed for the data connection.
• If you select 
Automatic,
 your P800 will let you answer 
incoming GSM calls while having normal GPRS 
functionality. A GPRS data connection will be temporarily 
interrupted by a voice call.
