Data Connection Configuration

If the Enable automatic connect: checkbox is checked (unchecked by default), the Wireless WAN user interface will attempt to establish a GPRS connection whenever GPRS is available (e.g. after resume from suspend without further user interaction).

To activate the automatic connection mode:

•Tap on the OK button.

While automatic connection mode is enabled, the Connect Data button in the main Wireless LAN dialog box changes to Disable Auto.

To close the currently active connection (if any) and disables the automatic connection mode:

•Tap on Disable Auto.

Important: Automatic connection mode should not be used if applications other than the Wireless WAN user interface (e.g. Connection Manager) are expected to open and close connections.

If the automatic connection mode is enabled and another applica- tion closes the GPRS connection then the WWAN user interface will immediately try to re-establish the connection.

In most cases, the data connection is configured automatically and no user interaction is required. This is true even if multiple SIM cards from different operators are used with the same device. The connection parameters are adjusted automatically when a new SIM card is detected (this may require a warm boot). The connection parameters are retrieved from a database.

Manual configuration should be necessary only if:

•One or more parameters in the database are incorrect or a new operator is not yet in the database. (The database should be corrected for subsequent software releases.)

•An operator has assigned individual GPRS user names and passwords.

•A very large site has their own APN. Such connections always have to be configured manually.

•A customer has subscribed for a static IP address. By definition this must be configured manually.

Important: For CDMA/1xRTT, automatic configuration is not available – connections must be configured manually. Under APN, the packet service access number must be entered (typically “#777”).
