7 Getting Connected
To take full advantage of your A701, you will want to get connected. This
chapter tells you how you can get your A701 connected through a variety of
ways including general packet radio services (GPRS), modem, wireless network
card, and Bluetooth. It also describes Internet Explorer for Web browsing.
7.1 Connection Settings
Your A701 has two groups of connection settings: “My ISP” and “My Work
Network.” My ISP settings are used to connect to the Internet, and My Work
Network settings can be used to connect to any private network, such as a
corporate network you use at work.
Connections can be made using GPRS, a modem or wireless network card.
After the connections, you can browse the Internet or intranet, send and receive
e-mail and instant messages, and synchronize information using ActiveSync.
GPRS Connection
Your A701 can receive GPRS, a high-speed data-only service that transmits
data over a mobile phone network. In addition, GPRS provides permanent
on-line connection.
To use GPRS, you must have a subscription to the function with a service
provider that supports GPRS.
The GPRS connection settings for several service providers have been built into
your A701. Simply select the proper connection setting for your service
provider.
1. Tap
Programs GPRS Configuration.
2. Select your service provider from the drop-down list, and tap
Apply ok.
