optionally, to improve the Internet connection, a DNS
address and a Proxy address. All these settings will
allow you to configure the Dial-up Networking
program in your PC in order to establish a GPRS
connection.
Note: this procedure is similar to the way you
configure an Internet connection from a specific ISP
(Internet Service Provider).
If your network operator has provided you with an
installation guide, please follow the instructions
included in the guide.
Otherwise, the present manual explains the
installation process. As the Dial-up Networking is
different for Windows 98 and Windows NT, two
separate descriptions are provided. See Annex:
PC Data Configurations on page 41.
If you encounter problems during installation, please
contact your distributor or network operator.
GSM data access type
GSM data access type allows you to make both
incoming and outgoing data calls in the same way as
with a fixed line. Therefore, you can connect to the
Internet using the same ISP (Internet Service
Provider) that you would use with a fixed line.
Warning!: you will not be able to make or receive
other calls while a GSM data communication is
established.
The SIM card must support GSM data.
The network operator does not need to supply any
specific information, and it is your ISP who provides
you with the user name, password and installation
information inorder toestablish an Internetconnection.
Please contact your ISP for installation instructions.
Note: your PC should be configured in exactly the
same way as if using the fixed line.
T
ip: if you already have an Internet connection
configured for the fixed line, you do not need to
make any changes, just connect your PC to the FCT
line instead of the fixed line.
Warning!: if your modem is an old model and it is
not able to send the CNG tone, you should include
*02* before the destination number (B-number) in
order to indicate the FCT that the call to be made is
a data call (Example: *02*B-number). This is not
usually necessary, as most modems automatically
