APN Setting
For internet connection, it is necessary to set the APN of your mobile provider. It could be set in
the gateway using PCManager (GSM&SIM – GPRS APN) or in the modem extra settings in the PC:
Example: at+cgdcont=1,"IP","internet.t-mobile.cz"
The APN name must be received from your mobile provider, the example shows the APN of T-
Mobile Czech Republic used.
Network Connection Setting
Ask your mobile provider for Internet connection instructions because they can be
different for each provider (especially the telephone number to be dialed, or the
Username, Keyword, DNS, etc.). Set the phone connection in your PC using the Network
connection setting and select the appropriate modem. Set the connection parameters
(Username, Password, Dial number) according to the information from your mobile
provider (obviously Username ‘internet’, Keyword is empty and Dial number is *99***1#).
Finally, use the Dial button to establish the Internet connection.
Data Connection – CSD or GPRS and Other Technologies?
The CSD connection is used for data connection of two endpoints, similarly as the data
connection of two modems in a fixed network. The maximum CSD transmission rate is 14400
bps. The GSM connection is reserved for the whole time of connection and calls are charged
according to the connection time. The CSD mode can provide data connection of two PCs.
The GPRS connection (for GSM version) or EDGE, WCDMA and HSDPA connection cannot be used
for direct connection of two devices. It is dedicated for connection to the APN, usually to the
Internet. Most mobile providers charge the connection according to the volume of data
transmitted or by a lump sum and so the GPRS is suitable for long-time connections.

Caution
Mobile providers mostly specify the *99# number to be dialed for GPRS connection
in their instructions. Cinterion GSM modules require the *99***1# format.
