I was back to challenge with PK in Connectivity and Email. I failed again. I am buring out and tired.
First, I tried to use an external modem. PK said that it can not find a port, even I selected Hayes on COM1. Then I tried to use PC's modem via the serial cable but PK said that it is error 608 again. I have no either access to the email. I am using JUNO Platium. NOTE: I did not fill up in the KeyWeb yet. Do you think I SHOULD fill them before email? Or what did I miss something?

Use this option to set up a Dial up or LAN connection, as the name suggests. You can also enter a wireless configuration this way but it is preferable to do so via the "Wireless" Menu item. Before following this procedure, please refer to either 12.5.3 Using a Dialup Connection or 12.5.2 Using a LAN connection, whichever applies to what you want to do. They provide essential information about devices and settings that are needed to complete the procedure. 1. Configurations are kept in a database, and the first time you go to enter a configuration, you will be prompted to create a database in which to do it. KeySoft prompts: "The database for connection configurations does not exist. Create a database called connection configurations?" Press Y for yes and this happens automatically. After the first time you won't hear this prompt again. 2. KeySoft prompts: "Entry list for connection configurations." To go to the first field, press SPACE. 3. "Connection configuration name?" Enter a name for the record that is meaningful to you, then press ENTER. 4. "Device to use? (name)" Dial up only; if using networking, go directly to step 9. This is where you specify the device through which you are making the connection, such as a type of modem. Select the device you want by pressing ENTER. To cycle through the list, press SPACE with dots 34 and make a selection by pressing ENTER.. 5. "Phone Number?" For dialup connections only. If using in a work environment, remember to add any dialout prefix to the number. 6. "Service User name?" This is the user name you use to get onto the internet via your ISP. Type it here. Likewise the "Service Password?" 7. For the rest of the prompts, leave them set to their default unless otherwise stated in 12.5.3 Using a Dialup Connection or 12.5.2 Using a LAN connection. 8. For dialup connections only: When you are happy with all the settings, add this configuration by either pressing SPACE with dots 26, or SPACE with E then Y at the "Save this record?" prompt. The rest of this procedure applies to networking configurations only. 9. The rest of the fields relate to networking using a LAN. As discussed in 12.5.2 Using a LAN connection, you may not need to fill in all, or even any of them, depending on the way in which the network is set up. IP Address This identifies the BrailleNote PK as a part of the network. Subnet Mask The part of the IP address that is common to all of the IP addresses in the domain. Default Gateway Default connection to the Internet through another piece of hardware or software that provides address translation and/or security. Primary DNS Domain Name Server translates network names into IP addresses. Secondary DNS" Primary WINS Secondary WINS Proxy Settings: Use a proxy server for this connection?" YstN proxy server name proxy server port End Of List 12.5.2 Using a LAN connection. LAN is an acronym for Local Area Network. We use the term in this user guide to refer to networking via an ethernet card and cable as opposed to wireless networking, which uses a wireless network card that doesn't need cables. Wireless networking is discussed separately in 12.4 Using a Wireless Connection. To establish a LAN connection for your BrailleNote PK, you will need an Ethernet Card (type Socket Low Power Ethernet (LPE) EA2902139, CF plus RstLP E) which has a ruggedized, i.e. connected, cable. You will also need access to a working ethernet computer network, via a network capable PC, server, hubstswitchstrouter or DSL modem. When configuring the connection, use these specific settings: At the "Device to Use?" prompt, select Ethernet Network. At the "Obtain an IP address automatically?" setting, ensure it is set to yes, unless the network uses static IP addresses as in scenarios a and b below, where it is necessary to enter the IP address manually. When set to Yes, this setting allows the network to fill in the rest of the fields automatically except the proxy server fields. The scenarios below cover most of the common network configurations found at work, school or at home. In a work or school scenario, you may need to involve the network administrator in this task. a. Home Network: If you have one PC and only intend to connect to the BrailleNote PK, such as in a home user situation (i.e. No DHCP server, no WINS, maybe gateway), set an IP address in the same range as the PC's IP address. For example, if the PC's is 10.0.0.1, make the BrailleNote PK's 10.0.0.2. If the PC acts as a gateway, add a gateway address. If you use a router, the address is likely to start with 192.168.0ddtion where n is a number that uniquely identifies your BrailleNote PK. Note: If another computer is subsequently attached to the network, it MAY take the IP address that the BN has. If this happens, one of the addresses will need to be changed, and setup run again. but. Local Network with static IP addresses: If the network uses static IP addresses i.e. not automatically assigned, set an IP address on the BrailleNote PK in the range of acceptable addresses. Add a gateway address if available. can. Local Network with DHCP: This kind of network automatically assigns IP addresses. When creating the new dialup or LAN connection, set the "Obtain an IP address automatically?" setting to Yes. It will pick up the DNS and WINS from the DHCP. 12.5.3 Using a Dialup Connection. There are three typical scenarios for using the BrailleNote PK with a dialup connection, all requiring modems, of course. You will need to read this section before trying to set up a connection configuration for your modem as it outlines the specific settings required for configuring your modem type. 1. Using an external modem connected via serial port: If you are using this combination, connect the modem to the BrailleNote PK using the serial to serial cable. Ensure the modem is on and plugged into a phone line. The device name to choose when configuring the connection is Hayes Compatible Modem on COM1. 2. Using a card modem in the CF card slot: Insert the modem card before setting up a configuration for it, and it will appear on the device list as the name given to it by the manufacturer. 3. Using a Bluetooth cellphone as a modem: Before creating a connection configuration, you will need to pair up the cellphone and the BrailleNote PK successfully. This is explained in 12.11.3 Pairing with another Bluetooth device. Also, the cellphone itself may need some setting up to function as a modem, but if this is the case, the information will be included in its documentation. The device name to choose when configuring the connection is defined by the phone itself. ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote
