Data Communication
There are 3 communication modes available by connecting FOMA terminal and a PC : data
transfer (OBEX
communication), packet communication and 64K data communication.
・
To make packet communications or 64K data communications or edit data such as the phonebook using
a PC connected, downloading the software from NTT DOCOMO website, installation and various settings
are required.
・
When performing packet communication overseas, use IP connection (packet communication is
unavailable with PPP connection). 64K data communication cannot be used overseas.
・
FOMA terminal does not support FAX communication or Remote Wakeup.
・
Data communication can be performed connecting with DOCOMO's PDA like sigmarion III. However,
FOMA terminal does not support high-speed communication compatible with HIGH-SPEED area.
❖
Data transfer (OBEX
communication)
You can send and receive data such as image, music, phonebook or mail etc. to/from other FOMA terminals
or PCs etc.
・
Transferable data varies depending on transfer method. For data that can be transferred by each transfer
method, see "Instruction manual (detailed version) (in Japanese only)" (in pdf format) of the FOMA
terminal.
❖
Packet communication
You can connect to the Internet and perform data communication (packet communication).
Packet communication charges are based on the amount of data sent and received, which makes it suitable
for high-speed exchange of comparatively small amounts of data as in sending and receiving mail. No
communication charges are required when no data are exchanged even if you are connected to the
network. Therefore, sending/receiving data as needed while remaining connected to the network is
possible.
High-speed packet communication can be performed at a maximum reception speed of 7.2Mbps and a
maximum transmission speed of 5.7Mbps or 384kbps by using access points that support FOMA packet
communication such as mopera U of DOCOMO's Internet connection service. Best effort method which the
actual communication speed varies with the environment and the rate of congestion offers.
Note that communications of large-size data such as viewing websites containing images and downloading
will require high charges.
*
The communication speed may be slower when connecting out of FOMA HIGH-SPEED area, connecting to access points
incompatible with HIGH-SPEED, or using devices incompatible with HIGH-SPEED such as DOCOMO's PDA; sigmarion
III.
*
For Bluetooth connection, though the communication speed of FOMA terminal is equal to HIGH-SPEED, communication
may not be performed by maximum speed because the communication speed between Bluetooth devices has limits.
