Many service providers will require you to use an IAP for your default access point. Other
service providers allow you to use a WAP access point. Contact your service provider for
more information.
Start to fill in the settings from the top because depending on what data connection you
select (
Data bearer
) only certain setting fields are available.
•
Connection name
- Give a descriptive name for the connection.
•
Data bearer
- The options are
GPRS
or
Data call
. Depending on what data connection you
select, only certain setting fields are available. Fill in all fields marked with
Must be
defined
, or with an asterisk. Other fields can be left empty, unless you have been
instructed otherwise by your service provider.
To be able to use a data connection, the network operator or service provider must support
this feature, and if necessary, activate it for your SIM card.
•
Access point name
(for packet data only) - The access point name is needed to establish
a connection to the GPRS network. You obtain the access point name from your
network operator or service provider.
•
Dial-up number
(for Data call only) - The modem telephone number of the access point.
•
User name
- Write a user name if required by the service provider. The user name may
be needed to make a data connection, and is usually provided by the service provider.
The user name is often case-sensitive.
•
Prompt password
- If you must key in a new password every time you log onto a server,
or if you do not want to save your password to the phone, choose
Yes
.
•
Password
- A password may be needed to make a data connection, and is usually
provided by the service provider. The password is often case-sensitive. When you are
writing the password, the characters you enter are shown briefly and then changed to
asterisks (*). The easiest way to enter numbers is to press and hold the digit you want
to enter, and then continue entering letters.

•
Data call type
(for Data call only) -
Analogue
,
ISDN v.110
, or
ISDN v.120
defines whether
the phone uses an analogue or digital connection. This setting depends on both your
GSM network operator and Internet Service Provider (ISP), because some GSM networks
do not support certain types of ISDN connections. For details, contact your ISP. If ISDN
connections are available, they establish connections more quickly than analogue
methods.
•
Maximum data speed
(for Data call only) - The options are 9600 or 14400, depending on
what you have chosen in
Data call type
. This option allows you to limit the maximum
connection speed when GSM data is used. Higher data rates may cost more, depending
on the service provider.
The speeds above represent the maximum speed at which your connection will operate.
During the connection, the operating speed may be less, depending on network conditions.

in the callback-requesting call. The network must support that type of call in both
directions, to and from the phone.
•
Callback type
- The options are
Use server no.
/
Use other no.
. Ask your service provider for
the correct setting to use; it will depend on the service provider’s configuration.

packet data, the phone registers to the GPRS network and sending short messages will be
done via GPRS. Also, starting an active packet data connection, for example, to send and
receive e-mail, is quicker. If you select
When needed
, the phone will use a packet data
connection only if you start an application or action that needs it. The GPRS connection
can be closed after it is not used by any application.
If there is no GPRS coverage and you have chosen
When available
, the phone will
periodically try to establish a packet data connection.
Access point - The access point name is needed when you want to use your phone as a
packet data modem to your computer.
