Glossary: ISDN connections are a way to establish a data call
between your phone and your access point. ISDN connections are
digital from end to end and as such offer quicker set-up times and
faster data rates than analog connections. In order to use an ISDN
connection, both your service provider and your Internet service
provider must support it.

defines whether the phone uses an analog
or digital connection. This setting depends on both your GSM service
provider and Internet Service Provider (ISP), because some GSM systems
do not support certain types of ISDN connections. For details, contact
your ISP. If ISDN connections are available, they establish connections
more quickly than analog methods.

Settings
Note: Charges may apply for certain types of received calls, such as
roaming and high-speed data calls. Contact your GSM service
provider for more information.

that were used in the callback-requesting call. The system must
support this type of call in both directions, to and from the phone.

Use server no.
/
Use other no.
Ask your
service provider for the correct setting; it will depend on the service

The GPRS settings affect all access points using a packet data connection.
GPRS connection
- If you select
When available
and you are in a system
that supports packet data, the phone registers to the GPRS system and
sending text messages will be done via GPRS. Also, starting an active
packet data connection, for example, to send and receive e-mail, is
quicker. If you select
When needed
, the phone will use a packet data
connection only if you start an application or action that needs it.
The GPRS connection is closed after it is not used by any application.
Note: If there is no GPRS coverage and you have chosen
When available
,
the phone will periodically try to establish a packet data connection.
Access point
- The access point name is needed when you want to use
your phone as a packet data modem to your computer.
