Testing the emulator's connection

Here are two ways to test the emulator's network and Internet connection:

Symbian provides a very simple HTTP client called HttpExampleClient.exe. You can use it to test connections to the Internet:

1. Run epoc32\release\<emulator-build>\<udeb or urel>\httpexampleclient.exe.

2. Type ‘1’ to download a web page.

3. Type a URL to retrieve and press return. It must be an HTTP URL such as http://www.symbian.com.

4. You may get asked which Internet Access Point (IAP) you wish to use. If you created one while setting up your connection then choose the one you created.

5. If the URL is retrieved successfully then select ‘Y’ to save it to disk.

6. Type a file name and press enter. We suggest you save it to C:\. This will place it in \epoc32\<emulator-build>\C.

7. Open the saved file in a browser to verify that it was downloaded successfully. Note that you will only have saved the web-page; pictures and fonts will not have been downloaded and may not be displayed. As long the web-page's text appears then your Internet connection is working.

IAP Status is a utility that comes with the TechView user interface:

1. Start the appropriate emulator.

2. Start the IAP Status application from the Extras menu.

3. Select a Internet Access Point (IAP) from those in the list and press ‘Start’. If you created an IAP while setting up your connection then choose the one you created.

4. If the IAP status changes from ‘Inactive’ to ‘Active’ then you have access to the network.

5. Select the IAP and press ‘Stop’. The IAP status should change back to ‘Inactive’.
