Windows Log on Using GPRS/EDGE Dial-up Connection
The GC82 PC Card supports the Windows Log on using dial-up connection feature.
To log on to Windows using a dial-up connection the GC82 PC Card must be inserted and the radio
enabled before you log on. To enable the radio prior to logon, select Enable radio immediately
when card inserted checkbox on the Radio Power preferences tab, see Radio Power Tab
on page 15 for more details.

Never start your PC in this mode if you are in a location where mobile devices shouldn’t
be used, for example, on an aeroplane, in hospital or near a blast site.
Only check this option if you need to log on to a Windows Domain via a wireless dial-up connection.
This will permit the GC82 to register with the network and establish a connection when the Windows
logon screen is displayed.
Note:
It is not possible to display network status or signal strength during the Windows logon
procedure, so you should allow enough time for the GC82 to find and register with the wireless
network prior to attempting to log on.
The dial-up connections available to the Windows Logon must have been created by a user account
with Administrator privilege and designated For all users. This must be done using the Windows
Network Connection Wizard, because the GC82 Manager can only create connections for the
current user ID.
Normally the Windows Logon using dial-up connection will be using a CSD session to a corporate
network, so that the logon credentials can be validated by a Windows Domain Server.
There may be special circumstances where a GPRS dial-up connection is required for logon.
To create a GPRS dial-up connection, follow these steps:
1. Create the Windows dial-up connection using the Windows Network Connection Wizard.
For the telephone number, use *99***3#.
2. Set the GPRS context parameters in the GC82 PC Card using the following AT commands.
Type the AT Commands into the Windows Hyperterminal program.
AT+CGDCONT=3,“IP”,“<AccessPointName>”,“”,0,0
