Using the Internet and Faxing | Testing the Infrared Connection |
You can join your GD87 and a PC together via an infrared connection to access the Internet, and to send and receive faxes. The following explains how to set up communication between the GD87 and a PC. These instructions should be used in conjunction with your Internet platform software and/or your fax software.
Prerequisites
Faxing: contact your mobile phone network operator to determine whether this feature is available to you.
Ensure that you have set up a dial up account with an Internet Service Provider.
You will need the installation CD from your ISP, or your account details (i.e. phone number, user name and password) to configure Dial Up Networking within Windows.
When you set up your Internet account for the first time, make sure that you select GD87 as the connecting modem device. (For more details contact your Internet Service Provider, or for help using Windows Dial Up Networking, search Windows Help [Start>Help])
The following process will set up a PC to connect to your GD87 using the Windows standard communication software, HyperTerminal, as an example (the process described may vary slightly for other software packages).
Note: Depending on how your computer has been set up ‘HyperTerminal’ may not be located in ‘Communications’ (as detailed in the first instruction).
Select Start > Programs > Accessories >
Communications > HyperTerminal
Double click on HyperTerminal.
In the Connection Description dialogue box, enter a name of your choice in the Name field and click OK.
In the Phone Number dialog box, select the country code, enter your Internet Service Provider’s phone number and confirm that GD87 is selected in the “Connect using” box. Click OK.
When the connect dialogue box is displayed, click Cancel.
Select File > properties and confirm that GD87 is selected. Click OK.
In the HyperTerminal window, type AT+CGMI and click. If GD87 has connected successfully you will receive the reply OK.
