Connecting to your cellular provider

The PinPoint X uses your cellular provider as an ISP (Internet

Service Provider) to connect you to the Internet.

Steps of a connection:

1.When your PinPoint X is powered on, it automatically searches for cellular service using HSUPA/HSDPA.

2.Your PinPoint X establishes a PPP (Point to Point Protocol or “dial” up connection) link to the your cellular provider network, also called registering on the network, and receives an IP address.

3.When your PinPoint X has received its IP address from your cellular provider, a connection to the Internet or the cellular network is also available for computers or other devices connected directly to the PinPoint X.
