Setting up WAP accounts
A WAP account (sometimes called a WAP profile) defines a
service provider and gateway that should be used when making
a connection to WAP services. You also need a WAP account
when you use MMS message (Multimedia Messaging Service).
The WAP gateway sits between your P910c and the WAP site
coding and decoding information. You can set up details of more
than one gateway if necessary, for example one for your MMS
messaging, one to access corporate data over WAP, and another
to access your bank's WAP service.
The easiest way to set up a WAP account on your P910c is
automatically, through your service provider. Check your
service provider's Web site for information or contact their
support desk and ask about automatic setup. You can also find
more information, and settings for many operators on:
http://www.SonyEricsson.com/support.
Note
You access WAP pages through an Internet Service
Provider (ISP) so, when you create a WAP account, you must
choose one of your existing Internet accounts or first create a
new one.
Manually set up a WAP account
Instead of setting up a WAP account automatically, you can
enter the settings manually from
Control panel > Connections >
WAP accounts
.
First collect all the information you will need. You can obtain
this information from the WAP service provider, or if you are
connecting to a corporate network, your information services
manager.
All settings are described in
‘WAP accounts’
on page 170.
To set up a new account follow the steps under
‘To create a new
WAP account’
on page 170.
Using your P910c as a modem
Your P910c contains a complete GSM/GPRS modem, so you
can use it to connect your PC to the Internet or corporate
intranet.Your P910c appears to the laptop like a normal modem.
You link the laptop to your P910c using Bluetooth wireless
technology, infrared, or cable (USB or serial).The connection
over the air can be by any of the bearers that your P910c
supports:
• GPRS
• HSCSD (High-speed Circuit Switched Data)
• CSD (Circuit Switched Data).
A Windows modem driver file and a PC utility, the
Dial-Up
Networking Wizard,
is provided on your
Sony Ericsson PC Suite
CD.
The wizard will help you configure DUN (Dial-Up Networking)
entries on your PC for GPRS and HSCSD connections.
