Access Internet, e-mail, etc.
PC setup - before you start
For the LAN or WLAN interface to work without any further setup, the
connected computer or IP device must be set up to obtain an IP address
and a DNS server address automatically. This is usually the case for most
PCs. If you are in doubt you can check your PC, see the step-by-step
procedure how to do this in IP address and DNS server address setup on
page 68.
Internet, e-mail etc.
With SwiftBroadband the cabin applications e-mail, Internet and intranet
access, VPN, etc. are available. The connection type recommended for these
applications is the Standard data connection, which is also the default
setting. For a more detailed description of the Standard data connection see
Packet switched service on page 11.
To optimize airtime and bandwidth usage we recommend to
disable the feature for automatic PC software update
in your computer.
