Setting up for the Internet 5

Introduction to setting up

This manual contains information about setting up your Series 5 so that you can connect to the Internet, and set up Email

to send and receive fax, email and SMS messages. This section starts with a list of the information that you need to collect

about your modem, phone line and Internet connection. It then leads you through the process of setting up.

•Read the ‘Setting up the Control panel sections and Email’ section for full details on setting up your Series 5.

•If you are an experienced Series 5 user and are familiar with setting up computers to connect to the Internet, read the

‘Quick setup for advanced users’ section.

•Read the ‘Quick setup for Infrared mobile phones’ section for information on how to set up your Series 5 to work

with an infrared mobile phone.

•If the setup instructions don’t cover all the things you need, see the ‘How do I...?’ section for more details.

Memory requirements

Please note the approximate memory requirements for running the software:

•To run Email and send and receive messages, you should have at least 1000K free.

•To install and run Web and open an average-sized Web page with graphics, you should have at least 2500K free.

These figures are guidelines only. The actual memory requirements of either Email or Web at any particular time will

depend largely on the nature of the information you are sending or receiving from your Internet service.

Setting up for the Internet 7

Overview of setting up

Before connecting your Series 5 to the Internet, you need to set up your machineusing the information you

gathered in the previous section. This consists of five stages:

1. Connecting the Series 5 to a modem and phone line.

2. Choosing the type of modem you use.

3. Setting the location you are dialling from.

4. Choosing the Internet Service Provider you use to connect to the Internet.

5. Entering email-specific settings in Email (if you wish to use email).

The following sections describe each of these stages in turn.

The dialogs you use when setting up the new sections of the Control panel on your Series 5 have Help buttons. Tap

Help to find out more information on how to complete a dialog.

Connecting your Series 5 and modem

The first stage of connecting to the Internet is to connect your Series 5 to a modem and phone line and set them up for

communication.

To do this:

1. Connect your modem to a phone line and, if necessary, to a power supply. Make sure the modem is switched on.

2. Connect the modem to the serial port of your Series 5 using the appropriate cable.

Quick set up for advanced users

If you are familiar with configuring Internet software, you may want to set up your Series 5 quickly using the table below.

It tells you what information you need to put in each Control panel section in the System screen, and what you need to set

up in the Email program.

Setting: What to set up there:

Modems section of Control

panel •Set up your modem. Use the New button if the list does not include your

type of modem, then enter the settings you use.

•Use the Edit button to change any of the modem settings. To change the

modem speed, use the Modem page. To change the loudspeaker volume,

use the Options page.

Dialling section of Control

panel • Set up the location you dial from. On the Location page, tap Edit to alter

any of the settings or New to enter new dialling details.

•On the Location page, select your current country and enter your area

code.

•Use the Dial out page to enter any prefixes you need to add to get an

outside line.

•If you want to use a chargecard from the location you are setting up, tick

the box on the Chargecard page and tap the Options button. Select Edit,

or New if the list of pre-defined chargecards does not contain your type of

card. Enter your account details on the Details page and the order

information should be sent on the Rules page.

•Use the Dial settings page to indicate whether you use tone or pulse

dialling, and whether you need to wait for dial or proceed tones while

dialling out.

The Tone dialling page in the Dialling section of the Control panel is the same

as the one covered by your Series 5 User Guide, and applies to normal DTMF

dialling, not dialling via a modem.

Setting up for the Internet 8

Internet section of Control

panel •Set up your Internet service provider.

•Tap New and select whether you want to base the service you are setting

up on standard settings or settings from a ‘template’ file on your Series 5.

•Enter the your access number (dial-up number) on the Service page,

including the country and area codes.

•Tick the Use smart dialling box if you just want the software to dial the

number as entered in the Standard dial-up number line.

•Use the Login page to change between 7 bit and 8 bit data.

•If your service provider requires you to perform a text-based login, you

will need to use a script. If you are adding a new service, you may need to

tick the Use login script box on the Login page and edit the example

script.

Email account settings Select Add new account|Email on the Tools menu in Email.

On the Account page:

•Enter the Account details including Your name and Email address that

you want to appear on outgoing messages.

•If the option is available, select your Mailbox type, and tick the Set as

default account box to make this the default account.

On the Outgoing page:

•Enter the address of the Email (SMTP) server.

• If the option is available, tick the Auto send on opening box to send

messages as soon as you connect to the mailbox.

On the Incoming page:

•Enter the address of the server you receive email from in the mailbox type

server line.

•Enter your Mailbox login username and enter and confirm the password

for your mailbox.

For fax settings:

•Select Account settings|Fax on the Tools menu. Enter the number where

you can receive faxes in the Fax number line.

Quick set up for Infrared Mobile phones

If your mobile phone has a built-in infrared port and modem, and is supported by your EPOC communications software,

connecting to the Internet with your Series 5 while you're on the move is quick and easy.

To do this:

1. Open the Dialling section of the Control panel in the System screen and select Mobile in the Current location line.

Tap OK.

2. Open the Modems section of the Control panel and select Infrared mobile phone as your Current modem. Tap OK.

3. Open the Internet section of the Control panel. Tap New and enter the details of your account with an Internet

service provider. Tap Done, then OK.

4. In Email, make sure you have entered your email account settings using Add new account on the Tools menu.

You are now set up to use Email and Web with your mobile phone. When you want to connect, make sure:

•The infrared port on your phone is enabled. You should do this just a short time before attempting to connect. Your

phone's documentation will tell you how to do this.

•The infrared ports on your phone and Series 5 are facing each other.

Setting up for the Internet 9

Setting up the Control panel sections and Email

This section provides detailed information about how to enter the setup information in the Control panel sections and in

Email.

Specifying the type of modem you use

Once you’ve connected your Series 5 and modem, the next stage is to specify your type of modem. Your Series 5 has a

number of pre-defined modem settings to make this easier.

To do this:

1. Open the Control panel in the System screen and open the Modems section.

2. Tap in the Current modem box or press Tab to see the list of pre-defined modems.

3. Select the modem you use, or a modem from the list which you know is compatible with your own. Tap OK.

If the modem you use doesn’t appear in the list, select ‘Generic modem settings’. If the generic settings don’t work

for your modem, you can add settings for a new one. See “…add a new modem” in the ‘How do I…?’ section later

on.

Setting the location you dial from

When you connect to the Internet, your Series 5 instructs the modem to dial out. You need to specify the location you’re

dialling from, so that your Series 5 can automatically adjust the number, e.g. by adding a 9 to get an outside line from an

office telephone system. This automatic adjustment is known as smart dialling.

To set the location you dial from:

1. Open the Dialling section of the Control panel in the System screen.

2. In the Current location line, select your location. The pre-defined locations have the following settings:

Pre-defined

location Connection

type Dial out prefix Disables Call Waiting Uses

chargecard

Office Fixed line Yes: “9,” for both local

and long distance numbers No No

Mobile Mobile No No No

Home Fixed line No No No

Setting up for the Internet 10

If your location doesn’t correspond to any of the pre-defined locations, you can create a new one using the New

button.

3. Select Edit to change any of the settings for the Current location. Make sure that:

•In the Country line of the Location page, you select your current country.

•In the Area code line, you enter your current area code.

For more information on each of the settings, tap the Help button on the appropriate page of the dialog.

Specifying your Internet Service Provider

Once you have set up your modem and location, you need to enter details about the Internet service that you use to

connect to the Internet.

To do this:

1. Open the Internet section of the Control panel in the System screen.

2. Tap the New button and:

•On the Service page, enter the your access number in the Standard dial-up number line. Include the country and

area codes. (You may need to omit the first 0 from the area code.)

•On the Account page, remove the tick from the Manual login box and enter the username and password for your

Internet account. Tap Done, then OK.

If your Internet Service Provider requires you to specify your IP address or the DNS addresses, or requires you to log

on using a 7 bit setting for data transfer, change these settings on the Addresses and Login pages. For more details,

use the Help button on the dialog pages, and see the ‘How do I…?’ section in this guide.

If your service provider requires you to perform a text-based or script-based login, you will need to enter a script on

the Login page. If you are creating a new Internet service and need to create a new script, see the appendix on

scripting at the end of this guide.
