5.1.2 Connection
Configuration
When a new SIM card is detected by F3607gw, the Wireless Manager identifies the
home network and automatically creates a connection profile from a pre-loaded list
of operator settings. This becomes the default profile and is available immediately.
Therefore, the user does not need to do anything, in most cases, except click the
Connect button to establish a connection.
If the operator settings are not available or a personalized (company-specific) APN
is in use, the information may be entered manually. Any number of profiles may be
defined (including Access Point Name, Username and Password). Quality of Service
parameters is set to “network default”.
5.1.3 Connection
Operation
No user interaction is required to set the speed of the connection. It will be
automatically set by the network depending on available network resources and the
user’s subscription.
F3607gw will automatically use the UMTS network by preference and automatically
switch over to GPRS/EDGE where the operator has an integrated UMTS/GSM
network if UMTS coverage is not available. When UMTS coverage returns, the
connection will return to the UMTS network. In some networks, data flow must be
paused. F3607gw therefore needs to return to an idle state before a return to UMTS
can take place. This is network-specific.
Similarly, if HSPA is available in the UMTS network, the higher download speeds
will be automatically available. In some networks, it is not possible to detect HSPA
until a connection is made.

5.2.1
IP Number Allocation
F3607gw enables you to work within your corporate and/or ISP-assigned IP
numbering scheme. It supports dynamic IP allocation. Dynamic IP allocation is
normally used by both ISPs and corporate networks.
5.2.2
EAP SIM Authentication
Some mobile operators also provide Wireless LAN hotspot services. Using EAP-SIM
technology, it is possible to authenticate the user to the WLAN hotspot using a
secure SIM-based transaction modeled on the GSM procedure. This makes access
automatic – the user does not need to enter a username or password.
