Data Communication
Data communication
The data communication modes available from
FOMA terminal and hints on use are explained.
･
FOMA terminal does not support fax
communication or the Remote Wakeup.
･
When connecting FOMA terminal to DoCoMo’s PDA
“sigmarion
Ⅱ
” or “musea” for data communication,
make sure to update “sigmarion
Ⅱ
” or “musea”. For
details on update, visit the DoCoMo website.
･
Packet communication or 64K data communication
cannot be used overseas on this FOMA terminal.
･
This FOMA terminal does not support IP connection.
Supported data communication via FOMA terminal
FOMA terminal supports 3 communication modes:
packet communication, 64K data communication and
data transfer.
These communications become available by
installing the related software onto a PC from the
attached CD-ROM, connecting FOMA terminal to the
PC and making required settings.
■
Packet communication
Packet communication charges are based on the
amount of data sent and received, which make it
suitable for high-speed exchange of relatively
small amounts of data such as 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 provides a
maximum reception speed of 384 kbps and a
maximum transmission speed of 64 kbps by using
access points that support packet communication
on FOMA, such as DoCoMo’s “mopera U /
mopera” Internet connection service. These are
offered by Best-effort connection which allows
transmission speed to vary with the environment
and the rate of congestion.
Note that communications of large-size data such
as for viewing and downloading websites
containing images will require high charges.
■
64K data communication
The 64K data communications allow data transfer/
reception at stabled communication rate of 64 kbps.
Communication charges are based on the duration of
the connection to the network regardless of the
volume of data, which make it suitable for sending
and receiving relatively large amounts of data as in
downloading multi-media contents. You need to use
access points that support FOMA 64K data
communication such as DoCoMo’s “mopera U /
mopera” Internet connection service or ISDN
synchronized 64 kbps access points.
Note that communicating for long time will require
high charges.
■
Data transfer
It is the mode of non-charged communication in
which various data including the phonebook,
mails and bookmarks are transferred/exchanged.
･
Data can be transferred to another FOMA
terminal, mobile phone or PC via the infrared
communication/iC communication as well.
Before usage
Checking operating environment
Use the communication configuration file and the
FOMA PC configuration software in the following
operating environments:
*1 USB port (conform to USB specification 1.1/2.0) is
required.
*2 The operation from OS upgrading is not covered by
the warranty.
INFORMATION
●
Note that utilization may not be possible in certain operating
environments. Furthermore, operation will not be
guaranteed in an environment other than that described
above or by upgrading the OS and DoCoMo assumes no
responsibility for operation under such conditions.
Required devices
The following hardware and software are required in
addition to FOMA terminal and a PC:
･
FOMA USB cable (optional)
･
Attched CD-ROM “CD-ROM for FOMA D903i”
INFORMATION
●
Purchase a dedicated “FOMA USB cable”. A USB cable
for PC cannot be used because the shape of the
connector does not fit.
