Internet access on the Nokia 9200 Series Communicator is necessarily limited

by the speed of the phone's GSM connection. As a consequence, testing and

debugging Internet-based applications on hardware can be both expensive and

tedious. The RAS IAP application alleviates this problem by enabling you to

connect to the Internet over a much faster serial connection, via your PCThe

application demonstrates how the Symbian OS Communications database (CommDb)

API may be used to configure an Internet Access Point (IAP). To some extent

it also shows the common paradigm for using most DBMS derived APIs.An

Internet Access Point defines ISP, modem, charge card and location records

that can be used together to make an Internet connection. The IAP for the

RAS connection specifies an ISP and modem record (charge card and location

records are required for this type of IAP). The CommDb is a standard DBMS

database. Modems, ISPs, charge cards, locations, IAPs etc are all stored in

their own tables within the database. There may be a number of records

within each table (e.g., there may be a number of IAPs, modems, ISPs, etc.).

As described in the preceding section, each IAP record defines the set of

ISP, modem, charge card, and location that can be used together. In other

words, an IAP record defines a set of records the other tables.The

implication of the above statement is that sets of CommDb records are

accessed through their associated table. The other implication is that you

cannot create an IAP record until you have already created the other

records. Finally, the fact that there may be many records in a table implies

that each record must be uniquely identified.2. Copy an existing CommDb that

has a correctly configured IAP. This method "works", but has several

problems. Firstly, Symbian does not guarantee that the CommDb will be binary

compatible between releases. In practice this has not been an issue, but it

is something to keep in mind. Secondly, while you are using your RAS IAP,

you don't have access to IAPs you configured in the "real" CommDb. Finally,

and most importantly, CommDb configuration should be targeted to the

platform; The CommDb that you use for RAS connections may well disable some

of your other phone services.. Add an IAP to your existing (proven) CommDb

using RAS IAP. The advantage of this method is that you get to retain the

CommDb that your manufacturer put onto the phone, and therefore can expect

the device to continue to work with the new IAP! Also, the CommDb API is

binary compatible between releases, so you can rely on this method as you

change phone. It is also by far the simplest method! Rather than coding the

application from first principles, I used the standard Minimal Eikon

Application Developer (MEAD) and Menu Builder tools to create an application

that I could easily customize. I then modified the engine to write to the

CommDb, and the UI to call the engine as appropriate. Each of these exports

calls non-exported functions to actually implement the creation and deletion

of the components of the IAP
