HSDPA or GPRS Data Transfer
HC15 offers two alternatives to access the GPRS or HSDPA networks:
•
The
Siemens Connection Manager
provided for the
Siemens Wireless Ethernet Adapter
See chapter 3.10.1.
•
A dial-up network connection via the installed
Siemens HSDPA Modem
as described in
chapter 3.10.2.
In either case the ME must be registered to the network. So, before trying to connect to the
data services ensure that SIM PIN authentication was done from the host application. To
take advantage of HSDPA make sure that the <act> parameter of AT+COPS equals “2”. For
GPRS the parameter shall be “0”. It is recommended to configure these settings on the
Siemens HSDPA USB Com Port
.
3.10.1 HSDPA or GPRS Data Transfer via Siemens Wireless
Ethernet Adapter
The easiest way is using the
Siemens Connection Manager
installed along with the HC15
driver package.
•
To open the tool in Windows XP, click
Start
, point to
Programs
, select
Siemens
, select
HSDPA USB Modem
and click
Connection Manager
.
•
Use
the
Select Device
listbox to
choose the
Siemens Wireless
Ethernet Adapter
. When opened
the first time or after disabling the
adapter, the listbox may be
empty.
•
Check
the
APN Name
box and
enter the APN (Access Point
Name) of your service provider.
•
If necessary, check the
Authentication Preference
box
and select the type of
authentication protocol.
Otherwise, PAP and CHAP apply
by default.
Username
and
password are also provider
dependent.
•
Press
the
Connect
button to set
up a connection. Then simply
open your Internet browser. The
box on the rightmost bottom
represents the signal strength.
•
To close the connection press the
Disconnect
button (available when connected).
The
Auto Connect
check box on the leftmost bottom can be activated if you want the
Siemens Wireless Ethernet Adapter to automatically connect to the network each time you
restart the HC15. This option can be used particularly with a flat rate subscription. In this
case, take care that the SIM PIN authentication is also done automatically.
