Using an Unlisted Network Provider
If the network provider you plan to use is not listed in the
Network Provider
drop-down list, scroll
to the bottom of the list and select
Other
. You will then be required to define the network
provider’s SPI (Service Provider Interface) number, shown in Figure 17.
Figure 17 The SPI Dialog Box
If you do not know your network provider’s SPI, contact your network provider and ask for the
number, or enter 0 (zero). If you type in a specific SPI in this dialog box, the modem will only
connect with the network using that specific SPI. If you enter 0, the modem will connect with any
network it can find.
After you have entered the SPI, tap
Done
. This will remove the dialog box from the screen.
Once the correct network provider appears in the
Network Provider
window, tap
Next
.
Configuring the Palm m500/505™ Device
After defining the network provider you will use with your Minstrel m500, you are given the option
of setting the Palm m500/505™ device’s network preferences to the same values as those being
defined in the Minstrel m500 modem setup. This will make the network values you are currently
defining the Palm m500/505™ device’s default values. This is accomplished by using the
Configure Palm Device
window, shown in Figure 18.
