Before Using the Communication and Internet Functions
Provider
● Making a Contract with a Provider
The provider is the company which provides the service of connecting you to
the Internet. Individual access to the Internet requires a contract with a
provider. When you make such a contract, you will be supplied with the
necessary information for accessing the Internet.
Note
• If your company already has an Internet environment, you do not need
to make a contract with a provider. In this case, the necessary
information can be obtained from the system administrator .
● Access Point
The contractor telephones the access point supplied by the provider and is
connected to the Internet via this point.
Important
Note
• The provider charges a connecting fee according to the amount of
use. You are also required to pay the telephone company a charge for
calling the access point.
• Each provider offers its own services and charges vary accordingly.
For the latest information on providers, see Internet-related
magazines, etc.
Dial-Up Function
The dial-up IP connection is used to make a connection to the Internet only
when necessary. Normally, it is for accessing the Internet using the RDC-i500.
To make the dial-up IP connection, the access point (dial-up destination) and
other information must have already been set. → P.24 “Setting a Dial-Up
Account”
Note
• “Dial-up IP connection” refers to being connected only when you
dialed, while “dedicated connection” refers to being constantly
connected to the Internet.
