B.1.2.2 Shutting Down The Wireless WAN User Interface

While it is not usual to shut down the GSM/GPRS user interface, you can accomplish this by tapping on the File menu and choosing the Exit command at the bottom of the main Wireless WAN dialog box.

Note: Once you’ve shut down the user interface, you can only enable the radio by opening the Control Panel and tapping on the Wireless WAN icon to display the Wireless WAN dialog box.

B.1.3 Advanced Information

In most cases, when a GSM/GPRS radio and SIM are installed in your computer, setup is automatic. Follow the steps outlined under the heading “Establishing A Connection” on page B-4 to make a connection. The information in this section is for advanced

setup purposes.

B.1.3.1 Entering A PIN Number

If a PIN is required, a PIN entry dialog box is displayed.

Type your PIN, and press [ENTER].

Note: If you exceed the number of allowable attempts, a PUK entry window is brought to the foreground. You’ll need to enter a new PIN number.

Once the correct PIN or PUK is entered or if none was required, the modem is instructed to perform a GSM network registration followed by a GPRS attach. The main Wireless WAN dialog box reflects the progress of the initialization.
