Making an Infrared connection
Your PMA430 has an Infrared port which permits you to connect via a mobile phone to the internet. Please be aware that a number of factors, such as your service provider and your mobile phone manufacturer's parameters, influence the success of this connection.
You have 2 options for setting up an Infrared connection:
1)HSCSD/GSM connection
This is the standard way where the connection is made as a normal phone call at the speed of a 9,6k modem. For this connection, you require an Internet Service Provider (ISP) who will provide you with information necessary to establish the connection, such as a user name, password and access phone number.
2)GPRS connection
This relatively recent standard permits you to establish a direct digital connection which tends be faster than the HSCSD/GSM connection. This connection is typically billed per megabyte transferred rather than connection time. Some mobile phone providers require you to take a data subscription service in order to use GPRS.
