What is Graffiti® writing?

Most people find that they can enter text quickly and accurately with only minutes of practice. Graffiti writing includes any character you can type on a standard keyboard. The Graffiti strokes closely resemble the upper case letters of the regular alphabet, which makes Graffiti writing easy to learn.

Entering characters with a single stroke

Most characters require only a single stroke. When you lift the stylus from the Graffiti writing area, your CLIÉ handheld recognizes and displays the text character immediately. To allow you to write an entire character with a single stroke, some Graffiti strokes are portions of the regular alphabet.

Certain characters have similar shapes, but different beginnings and end points. Always begin the stroke from the dot.

5 Lift the stylus from the screen at the end of the

stroke shape.

When you lift the stylus from the screen, your CLIÉ handheld recognizes your stroke immediately and prints the character at the insertion point on the screen. As soon as you lift the stylus from the screen, you can begin another stroke for the next character you want to write.

Note

You must begin the character strokes in the Graffiti writing area. If you do not draw Graffiti strokes in the Graffiti writing area, your CLIÉ handheld does not recognize them as characters.

Notes on entering Graffiti® writing

• Recognition accuracy improves when you draw your strokes that nearly fill in the Graffiti writing area.

• Draw your strokes at natural speed. Drawing too slowly may generate recognition errors.

• Do not draw your strokes on a slant. Vertical strokes should be parallel to the vertical lines of the Graffiti writing area.

If the Internet Service Provider name you want to use is not displayed in the list, tap the area showing the service template, or select New from the Service menu, and enter the new Internet Service Provider name. You can create multiple service templates for your Internet Service Provider. You need to name them so that those service templates are uniquely identified, such as “So-net1” and “So-net2.” It is useful for creative use of your Internet Service Provider by access point or setting.

• When you want to copy an existing service template without changing, select

Duplicate from the Service menu.

Entering a user name

The User Name setting identifies a name you use when you log into your Internet Service Provider or dial-in server.

1 On the Network Preferences screen, tap User Name field. 2 Enter your user name.

Notes

• Although this field can contain multiple lines of text, only two lines appear on the screen.

• Most dial-in servers do not accept spaces in the user name.

Entering a password

The Password box identifies a password you use to log into your server or ISP. Your entry in this field determines whether your CLIÉ handheld prompts you to enter a password each time you log into your network:

• If you do not enter a password, your CLIÉ handheld displays the word

-Prompt- in this field and asks you to enter a password during the log-in procedure.

• If you enter a password, your CLIÉ handheld displays the word

-Assigned- in this field and does not prompt you to enter a password during the log-in procedure.

Note

If you are concerned about security, select the Prompt option and do not enter a password.

1 On the Network Preferences screen, tap the Password

field.

2 Enter a password you use to log into your server. 3 Tap OK.

The Password field updates to display the word -Assigned-.

Selecting a connection

Use the Connection setting to select a method you want to use to connect to your Internet Service Provider or a dial-in server.

1 On the Network Preferences screen, tap the arrow V next

to Connection and select Standard Modem.

Adding telephone settings

When you select the Phone field, your CLIÉ handheld opens a screen in which you define the telephone number you use to connect with your ISP or dial-in server. In addition, you can also define a prefix, disable Call Waiting, and give special instructions for using a calling card.

Note

The Phone Setup screen works correctly for AT&T and Sprint long- distance services. However, because MCI works differently, MCI customers need to put the calling card number in the Phone # field and the phone number in the Use calling card field.

1 On the Network Preferences screen, tap the Phone field.

The Phone Setup screen is displayed.

2 Enter the phone number for your ISP or dial-in server in the

Phone # field.

3 Change the following settings if necessary:

1 Enter the telephone number used to access the modem.

If necessary, enter a dial prefix (such as “9”) to access an outside line, and select the Dial prefix check box. You can enter a comma in the field to introduce a “pause” in the dialing sequence. Each comma equals a two second pause.

2 If the phone line you are using for your CLIÉ handheld has Call

Note

Each telephone company assigns a code to disable Call Waiting. Contact your local telephone company for the code that you need.

3 If you want to use a calling card to place the call, select the Use

calling card check box and enter the calling card number.

Tip

There is usually a delay before you enter your calling card number. Consequently, add at least three commas before your calling card number to compensate for the delay.

4 Tap OK.

Adding detailed information to a service template

When you are using one of the predefined service templates, you probably need to enter your user name and telephone number only. When you are creating a new service template, you may need to provide additional information to your ISP or dial-in server. Use the Details screen to add additional information to a selected service template.

To select a connection type

1 On the Network Preferences screen, tap Details.

The Details screen is displayed.

2 Tap the arrow V next to Connection type and select one of

the following connection types.

• PPP: Point-to-Point Protocol

• SLIP: Serial Line Internet Protocol

• CSLIP: Compressed Serial Line Internet Protocol

Tip

If you are not sure, try PPP; if that does not work, ask your Internet Service Provider or your System Administrator for the correct connection type.

Creating Log-in Scripts

A log-in script is a series of commands that automates logging in to a network server, such as your corporate network or your Internet Service Provider (ISP). You can also use non-ASCII characters or literal characters for log-in scripts.

b For details, refer to “Non-ASCII Characters for Log-in Scripts” on page 82.

Note

Depending on the type of communication adapter (sold separately), there may be cases when there is no need to create a log-in script.

b For details on accessories that are not supplied, refer to “Read This First (Operating

Instructions).”

The Details screen is displayed.

2 Tap Script.

Non-ASCII Characters for Log-in Scripts

The following information enables you to create a custom log-in script that require non-ASCII characters. It is provided for advanced users who understand the use and requirements of such characters in a custom log-in script.

Use of ^char

You may use the caret ( ^ ) to transmit ASCII command characters. If you send ^char, and the ASCII value of character is between @ and _, then the character is automatically translated to a single-byte value between 0 and 31. For example, ^M is converted to a carriage return. If the character is a value between A and Z, then the character sequence is translated to a single-byte value between 1 and 26. If the character is any other value, then the character sequence is not subject to any special processing. For example, the string “Joe^M” transmits Joe, followed by a carriage return.

Carriage return and line feed

You may include carriage return and line feed commands as part of the log-in script, when they are entered in the following format.

•<cr> : Sends or receives a carriage return

•<lf> : Sends or receives a line feed For example, the string “waitfor Joe<cr><lf>” waits to receive Joe followed by a carriage return and line feed from the remote computer before executing the next command in the script.

Literal characters

The backslash ( \ ) character defines that the next character is transmitted as a literal character, and is not subject to any special processing ordinarily associated with that character. Examples:

• \^ : Includes a caret as part of the string

• \< : Includes a < as part of the string

• \ \ : Includes a backslash as part of the string
