Internet
The World Wide Web (often just known as ‘the web’) is a large collection of
pages which are a part of the Internet. These pages usually contain text and
pictures, and can also contain files such as software. Web pages can be viewed
using browsing software like the Internet program, and are ‘linked’ to each
other, allowing you to move between them with ease.
• You can use the Internet program to retrieve pages from machines
anywhere in the world, search for information on a specific subject or
download software.
What do I need to browse the World Wide Web?
To browse the World Wide Web with the Internet program, you will need to
connect to the Internet with your MC 218 and mobile phone. Before you can
connect, however, you will need to:
• Have a subscription with an Internet Service Provider or access to a
corporate network (not initially necessary if you intend to try the Ericsson
free-trail option to browse Ericsson’s Mobile Internet site and its links).
• Run the Internet Setup Wizard to set up the MC 218 for the Internet.
• Make sure your mobile phone is fitted with an infrared modem.
• The infrared modem is designed for phones without a built-in infrared
modem. Alternatively, the Ericsson 888 GSM phone, for example, has a
built-in infrared modem and its IR port is activated in the phone’s main
menu.
• Face the two infrared ports from each unit, the MC 218 and your phone,
towards each other, no more than one metre apart.
Alternatively, if you are using a fixed line connection you will need a modem
and access to a telephone line.
You should enter information about your modem and Internet account when
setting up your MC 218 to connect to the Internet in the following sections of
the Control panel on the Desktop screen:
• Modems: This is for details about the modem you are using.
• Dialling: For information about where you are dialling from.
• Internet: For information about the service provider with whom you hold
your Internet account.
Tip! For details on entering the setup information, see the “Setting Up the
Internet and Message Programs” chapter.
