When a connection is established, the connection statistics (duration, bytes transmitted, bytes received) are displayed and updated at regular intervals.

Note:

Statistics display is not supported on Window 98(SE) or Me platforms. To view statistic data when using these operating systems hover your mouse cursor over the standard Windows Dial-up Networking icon.

Connection

To connect, cancel or disconnect a GPRS or HSCSD/CSD data session use the Connect/Disconnect drop down menu. The menu displays all the connections you have defined, so you can quickly select the required connection.

The Control button, located underneath the drop down menu, changes its appearance depending on the state of the GC79 connection. The button allows you to:

•Initiate a connection (Connect)

•Cancel connection attempt (Cancel)

•Disconnect (Hang-up) an existing session

To create a connection see Create a GPRS, HSCSD or CSD Connection on page 21.

Note:

You can also launch or terminate a CSD dialup networking sessions directly from the Windows Network Connections icon. A HSCSD networking session initiated outside GC79 Manager will require some additional settings to be added to your init string, see Appendix D- Initiating a HSCSD Connection from Outside the GC79 Manager on page 79.

The right side of the Status screen shows information about your wireless LAN connection, including:

•Wireless LAN connection status
