Access points
An access point is the point where your phone connects to the mobile Internet
by way of a data call or packet data connection. An access point can be provided,
for example, by a commercial Internet service provider (ISP), service provider, or
network operator.
Many service providers will require you to use an Internet access point (IAP) for
your default access point. Other service providers allow you to use a browser access
point. Contact your service provider for more information.
To define access point settings, select Menu > Settings > Connection >
Access points. Start to fill in the settings from the top because depending
on what data connection you select in the Data bearer option only certain
setting fields are available:
Connection name—Give a descriptive name for the connection.
Data bearer—The options are GPRS and Data call. Depending on which 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 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 on to 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.
Authentication—Normal or Secure.
Homepage—Depending on what you are setting up, write either:
• The service address.
• The address of the multimedia messaging center.
