CONFIGURING AN INTERNET CONNECTION
To configure an Internet connection using Voxell LCR you have to follow these steps:
)
First, achieve the installation of the USB driver on your PC. The driver is
required so than the computer can “see” the Voxell LCR device connected to
it, which is required not only for the data transfer, but also for connection to
the OAM program
)
Configure an access connection to the Internet on the PC
)
Specify the initialization AT commands (for dial-up)
)
Connect to the Internet
Warning! The mobile phone number used by the connection, the user name and the password,
and also the additional AT commands are dependent on the mobile phone network carrier. The
following examples are for the Vodafone Romania network!
-
Check if the Voxell LCR equipment is properly connected with the PC and is powered up;
-
First you have to install the USB driver for the Voxell LCR equipment. This interface can be
used for data transfer and also for configuring the equipment (with the OAM application).
There is an executable program that automatically installs the USB driver. The executable
name is “ PL-2303 Driver Installer.exe”.
-
Create a dial-up connection for the mobile network. The connection must specify the mobile
number, *99**1#, the user name and the password used for log-in (such as "internet" and
respective "provider"). Also, the modem must be configured with an initialization command (an
additional AT command). This command must be typed with capital letters. The name of the
mobile Internet provider, the password, and dial-up number are speciffic to each carrier. An
example of command is : AT+CGDCONT=1, “IP”, “INTERNET_PROVIDER” (where the name of
the mobile data carrierr may be, for instance, Vodafone). This command must be inserted in
the “Extra Settings” window, from Modem>Properties>Advanced.
-
Finally you can connect to the Internet using the Dial-Up connection.
