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.

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 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.

Setting up for the Internet 11
Entering your email and fax settings in Email
The final stage of the setting up process is entering your email and fax details in Email.
To start Email:
•Tap on the Email icon.

•Set as default account: Tick this box if you plan to use multiple mail accounts, but want most of your new messages
to be created and sent using the details from this account. (You can change the account used for sending individual
messages by opening the message and using the command on the Tools menu.)
3. Enter the following on the Outgoing page:
•Email (SMTP) server: This is the server through which outgoing email will be sent.
•• Auto send on opening: If this box is available, remove the tick if you don’t want email in your outbox to be
automatically sent when you connect to this mail account.
4. Enter the following on the Incoming page:
•Server: This is the server used to receive email messages (e.g. POP3 or IMAP4).
•Mailbox login: This is the mailbox login name provided by your Internet Service Provider.
•Mailbox password: This is the password you need to use to access your Remote mailbox.

This number will be printed on the top of faxes you send.
You can only enter ‘+’, space, and digits ‘0’-’9’ in the Fax Number line.
•Your name: Enter the name you want to be printed at the top of the faxes you send.
•Preferred resolution: This is normally set to fine. This is the resolution you will send faxes in and would prefer to
receive faxes in. Change this to normal if you want to reduce the size of the fax, or if the fax machine you are sending
to can only receive normal faxes.
•Show connection dialog: Remove the tick from this box if you don’t want to display the Connection dialog each
time you send a fax.
3. On the Modem page enter the:
•Max. fax speed: If you have problems sending or receiving faxes because of a poor quality phone connection, you
can lower this value.
•Faxback delay: Enter the number of seconds that you want the modem to wait after dialling a faxback number before
it expects the fax to be sent.
The standard settings on the Modem page are designed to work with most setups, so you may want to leave them as
they are.

Setting up for the Internet 12
Setting up to send SMS messages
If you have an account with a phone network which supports SMS, you can use Email to send SMS messages.
Email will attempt to retrieve the correct SMS settings from your phone.

Service Provider using Web. You can install the Web program from the PsiWin CD ROM.
To do this:
1. Open Web.
2. Tap in the location line, or select Open web page on the File menu, and enter the address of any World Wide Web
page, e.g. “www.psion.com”. Tap OK.
3. A connection dialog will appear showing the settings you entered earlier:
4. If all the details are correct, tap OK to connect. Web will then connect to the Internet and retrieve the page you want.
If you experience any difficulties connecting using Web, select Help on Web on the Tools menu to display a list of
help topics. You can view a list of topics that deal with problems by typing ‘troubleshooting’ as a search clue with
the Quick find button on the Toolbar pressed.

Web.
To disconnect from the World Wide Web when using Web, select Disconnect from Internet on the File menu.
Testing your connection in Email
A good way of testing that Email is set up correctly is to send yourself an email message, then retrieve it from your
Remote mailbox.
To send the email message:
1. Tap on the Email icon.
2. Tap the New button on the Toolbar and select Email.
3. Enter your own email address in the To: line, then enter some text in the Subject: line and the message area.
4. Tap the Save to outbox button on the Toolbar.
5. Tap on the Outbox icon in the left-hand Folder list, then tap Send on the Toolbar and select Email. If you are not
already connected to the Internet, the connection dialog appears. If the details are correct, tap OK to start the
connection. If any of the settings are incorrect, you’ll need to change them in the Control panel in the System screen.
Email will automatically disconnect from the Internet once it has sent the email message. To change this, open the
Internet section of the Control panel and enter the time you want the connection to remain open in the On exit, stay
online for box. If you are connected to the Internet elsewhere (i.e. through Web or an open mailbox), this option will
not come into effect until you go to close the last connection.
To get the message from your mailbox:
1. Wait for a few minutes to give the message time to arrive. Then tap the Open mailbox button on the Toolbar and
select your mailbox.
2. When the connection appears, tap OK.
3. A list of the messages you’ve received will appear in the Remote mailbox. Select the test message and tap the Copy
(inbox) button on the Toolbar, or use the Move to inbox command on the Transfer menu.
Copying emails from your mailbox to your inbox leaves a copy on the server. Moving an email deletes the message
from the server when it has successfully been moved to your Series 5.
If you experience any difficulties connecting using Email, select Help on Email on the Tools menu to display a list
of help topics. You can view a list of topics that deal with problems by typing ‘troubleshooting’ as a search clue
with the Quick find button on the Toolbar pressed.
This test confirms that you can connect to your service provider correctly, and send and receive email.

Setting up for the Internet 13
Sending a test SMS message
To do this:
1. Open Email, tap New on the Toolbar and select SMS.
2. Enter the number of the phone you want to send the message to, followed by your message, then use Save to outbox
on the Toolbar.
3. Make sure your phone and Series 5 are ready to communicate, then use Send on the Toolbar, and select SMS.

The scripting language
Overview of creating connection scripts
The Internet section of the Control panel in your machine’s System screen provides a simple and easy-to-use scripting
language. This enables you to automate your connection if your Internet Service Provider requires a text-based login. You
can use this scripting language to create a script that sends details such as your username and password to the service
provider’s machine automatically when you connect.
When to use scripts
Some Internet Service Providers require you to log in at a terminal prompt. This text-based login will usually involve the
service provider’s machine prompting you for details such as your username and password, and you typing them in. If
your service provider requires you to log in like this, you will need to use a script.
How to use scripts
To use a script for logging in:
1. Open the Internet section of the Control panel in the System screen.
2. With the Internet service you use selected, tap the Edit button.
Read the earlier sections of this guide for information on selecting the appropriate Internet service and setting up the
Internet section of the Control panel.
3. Tap on the Login page and put a tick in the Use login script box.
4. You should enter the appropriate script in the script editor below.
5. Once you’ve entered your script, tap Done. Web and Email will now use your script when connecting to the Internet.
When you create a new Internet Service Provider in the Internet section of the Control panel, and tick the Use login
script box on the Login page, you will find a “generic” script provided in the script editor. You should be able to
tailor this to your own service provider’s needs rather than have to create a new script from scratch. To learn more
about creating and editing scripts, read the following sections.

Setting up for the Internet 20
Creating a script for your Internet Service Provider
Creating a script for connecting to your Internet Service Provider consists of two stages:
1. Recording the process of logging in, so that you have something to base your script on.
2. Writing the script based on the record of your logging in.
Recording the logging in process
Recording the process of logging in to your Internet Service Provider is best done using the Comms program, rather than
Email. This has a “capture” facility, which stores the whole logging in process as a text file, which you can then use as a
guide when writing your script.
To set up your machine to capture the logging in process using Comms:
1. Connect your Series 5 to a modem and the modem to a telephone line.
2. Close all Internet programs such as Email and Web, select Remote link on the Tools menu in the System screen and
set the Link line to ‘Off’.
3. Tap on the Extras icon, then tap on the Comms icon.
4. Use Communication settings on the Tools menu in Comms to set the same options for speed, handshaking, etc. as
you normally use for your modem. Tap OK.
If you aren’t sure which settings you normally use, open the Modems section of the Control panel in the system
screen, and tap Edit with your modem selected. You should replicate the settings on all the pages of this dialog in the
Communication settings section of Comms.
5. Select Translate codes on the Tools menu and remove the tick from the Local echo box.
6. Make sure the Port active line on the Transfer menu is ticked, then select Capture to file on the same menu.
7. Give the “capture file” a name and location and tap OK.
You are now ready to dial your Internet Service Provider and log in.
To do this:
1. Type ‘AT’ and press Enter. You should see ‘OK’ appear below the ‘AT’ in the Comms screen.
2. Enter your modem initialisation string and press Enter. This will often be ‘ATZ’ or ‘AT&F’.
If you do not know the initialisation string for your modem, open the Modems section of the Control panel, select
your modem and tap Edit. Move to the Initialisation page and make a note of the information in the Data Init. string
line.
3. Type ‘ATDT’ followed by the telephone number you need to dial to connect to your Internet Service Provider,
including any codes you have to add to get an outside line. Press Enter.
Your modem will dial the access number you entered and “handshake” with the modem at the other end of the line for a
while once the call has been answered. If you have the modem loudspeaker on, you will hear high-pitched sounds at this
stage. When this has stopped, you can log in.
To log in:
1. A short while after the modem noise has finished, you should be presented with a prompt. This will normally be
‘Username:’, ‘login:’ or something similar.
2. Enter the information required by the prompt and press Enter. Repeat this process for any other prompts your Internet
Service Provider sends you.
3. When you have finished logging on, the server will normally send a welcome message, e.g. ‘HELLO’ or
‘CONNECTED’.
