Introduction
This document is a support guide for the configuration of
Internet settings needed to use the Nokia E61 for data
connections.
To access the Internet (in order to use WWW or mail), the
following conditions must exist:
• The cellular network (GSM 850/900/1800/1900) you
use must support data calls.
• The data service (also the high-speed HSCSD service if
used) must be activated for your SIM card.
• You must have obtained an Internet access point (IAP)
from an Internet service provider.
• Proper Internet settings must have been configured in
your device.
If you are using a wireless LAN (WLAN) connection, you do
not need SIM data service and GSM data call support.
For information about the correct settings, contact your
Internet service provider or system administrator. The
service provider may be able to configure the access point
for you using a special SMS message or WWW page, which
sets up all the necessary Internet access settings. Please
contact your Internet service provider (ISP) for details.
The necessary settings for Internet configuration are
provided by your Internet Service Provider. If your Internet
settings are incomplete or incorrect, please contact your
service provider. Depending on your ISP or network
operator, you may not need to fill in all of the settings.
When you insert a SIM card, the device will read the
necessary GPRS, MMS, and SMSC settings from the SIM
card if they are available, and no manual configuration is
necessary. Note that this may not work with all operators
and SIM cards.

Activating IP passthrough
Note: Use the USB data cable driver to
establish a cable connection between your
device and a compatible Windows-based PC.
For Windows 2000 and Windows XP users:
the drivers for the Nokia DKU-2 and CA-53
cables are integrated into Nokia PC Suite
version 6.7 and onwards. Instead of
downloading the cable driver separately, it is
recommended that you download the
Nokia PC Suite.
Select Menu→ Connect.→ Data cable→ Options→ IP
passthrough to use the data cable for the IP passthrough
Internet access point.
Nokia Network Bridge (which can be downloaded from
forum.nokia.com) is the IP passthrough application that
allows you to obtain a network connection on your device
from a compatible PC through a USB data cable. Connect
the USB data cable to the bottom of the device. Connect
the other end of the data cable to a compatible PC, and
wait for the PC to recognize your device.
Use IP passthrough as you use any Internet access point to
browse or synchronize remotely. If a wireless network
connection is unavailable, use IP passthrough to access the
Internet or a LAN. You cannot use IP passthrough at the
same time as Nokia PC Suite. You cannot activate the
modem if you select IP passthrough in cable connection
settings.
Selecting an Internet access
point
When you establish an Internet connection, you are asked
to select the Internet access point you want to use for
that connection. Select an Internet access point from the
list of available access points, and press Select.
Tip: The Select access point dialog opens only if
you have selected Always ask in the Access
point field in the Web settings. Otherwise, the
selected default Internet access point is used.
To check the status of the setting, select
Menu→ Web→ Options→ Settings.
Access point groups
Select Menu→ Tools→ Settings→ Connection→ Access
point groups.
An access point group is used for grouping and prioritizing
access points. An application can use a group as a
connection method instead of a single access point. In
that case the best available access point inside a group is
used for making connection and in case of email, also for
roaming.
