you in your region.

 

Select auto to have the card connect to an available network. Choose this option if you

 

do not know what networks are available.

 

You may want to manually specify the type of network to use if you are charged

 

differently for different types of network or you only have one type of network

 

available to you.

 

Select GPRS / EDGE (GSM) only to have this interface only use a 2.5G or 2.75G

 

network (respectively). If you only have a GSM network available to you, you may

 

want to select this so the ZyWALL does not spend time looking for a WCDMA network.

 

Select UMTS / HSDPA (WCDMA) only to have this interface only use a 3G or 3.5G

 

network (respectively). You may want to do this if you want to make sure the interface

 

does not use the GSM network.
