To define access point settings, select Menu > Settings > Connection > Access
points. Start to fill in the settings from the top because depending on what data
connection you select in the Data bearer option only certain setting fields
are available:

Connection name—Give a descriptive name for the connection.

Data bearer—The options are GPRS and Data call. Depending on which data
connection you select, only certain setting fields are available. Fill in all fields
marked with Must be defined, or with an asterisk. Other fields can be left empty,
unless you have been instructed otherwise by your service provider.

To be able to use a data connection, the network service provider must support this
feature, and if necessary, activate it for your SIM card.

Access point name (for packet data only)—The access point name is needed to
establish a connection to the GPRS network. You obtain the access point name
from your network operator or service provider.

Dial-up number (for Data call only)—The modem telephone number of the
access point.

User name—Write a user name if required by the service provider. The user name
may be needed to make a data connection and is usually provided by the service
provider. The user name is often case-sensitive.

Prompt password—If you must key in a new password every time you log on to a
server or if you do not want to save your password to the phone, choose Yes.

Password—A password may be needed to make a data connection and is usually
provided by the service provider. The password is often case-sensitive. When you are
writing the password, the characters you enter are shown briefly and then changed
to asterisks (*). The easiest way to enter numbers is to press and hold the digit you
want to enter and then continue entering letters.

Authentication—Normal or Secure.

Homepage—Depending on what you are setting up, write either:

•

The service address.

•

The address of the multimedia messaging center.

Data call type (for GSM data only)—Analog, ISDN v.110, or ISDN v.120 defines
whether the phone uses an analog or digital connection. This setting depends on
both your GSM network operator and Internet service provider (ISP) because some
GSM networks 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.

Maximum data speed (for GSM data only)—The options are Automatic, 9600, or
14400, depending on what you have chosen in Data call type. This option allows
you to limit the maximum connection speed when GSM data is used. Higher data
rates may cost more, depending on the service provider.

The speeds above represent the maximum speed at which your connection will
operate. During the connection, the operating speed may be less, depending on
network conditions.

ADVANCED ACCESS POINT SETTINGS

If you need to enter advanced settings, contact your Internet service provider. To
access advanced access point settings, select Menu > Settings > Connection >
Access points, select the access point you want to modify, and select Options >
Advanced settings. You can then define the following settings:

Phone IP address—The IP address of your phone

Primary name server—The IP address of the primary DNS server

Second. name server—The IP address of the secondary DNS server

Proxy serv. address—The IP address of the proxy server

Proxy port number—The port number of the proxy server

The following advanced settings options are shown if you have selected Data call
as the Data bearer type in the general access point settings:

Use callback—This option allows a server to call you back once you have made the
initial call. Contact your service provider to subscribe to this service.

The phone expects the callback call to use the same data call settings that were
used in the callback-requesting call. The network must support that type of call in
both directions, to and from the phone.

Callback type—The options are Use server no. or Use other no. Ask your
service provider for the correct setting to use; it will depend on the service
provider’s configuration.

Callback number—Key in the phone data phone number that the dial back server
uses. Usually, this number is the data call phone number of your phone.

Use PPP compression—When set to Yes, this option speeds up the data transfer,
if supported by the remote PPP server. If you have problems with establishing a
connection, try setting this to No. Contact your service provider for guidance.

Use login script—The options are Yes or No.

Login script—Insert the login script.

Modem initialization (modem initialization string)—Controls your phone using
modem AT commands. If required, enter characters specified by your service provider
or Internet service provider.

GPRS

GPRS (general packet radio service) is a network service that allows mobile phones
to be used for sending and receiving data over an IP-based network. GPRS is a data
bearer that enables wireless access to data networks, such as the mobile Internet.

Note: The Nokia 6620 phone is capable of using an EGPRS (enhanced GPRS)
network connection. EGPRS is also known as EDGE (enhanced data rates
for global evolution) and is similar to GPRS, but the connection is faster.
For more information on availability of EGPRS and data transfer speed,
contact your service provider.

The applications that may use GPRS are multimedia, text messaging, streaming,
browsing sessions, e-mail, data sync, Java™ application downloading, and the PC
dial-up (such as Internet and e-mail).

To use GPRS technology, you must first do the following:

•

Contact your service provider for availability and subscription to the GPRS service.

•

Save the GPRS settings for each of the applications used over GPRS.

For information on pricing, contact your service provider.

When you select GPRS as a data bearer, the phone uses EGPRS instead of GPRS, if
this is available in the network. You cannot select between EGPRS and GPRS, but
for some applications you may be able to select either GPRS or GSM data (CSD).

To define GPRS connection settings, select Menu > Settings > Connection >
GPRS, and the following:

GPRS connection—If you select When available and you are in a network that
supports packet data, the phone registers to the GPRS network. 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 can be closed
after it is not used by any application.

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. See "Use your phone as a modem" on
page 102.

Data call

Online time—This setting affects all access points using a data call. If there are no
actions, the data call is dropped automatically after a time-out period. Select User
defined (in which case you enter a time) or Unlimited.
