Punkt. MP02 Mobile Phone - Instruction manual
Providing Internet access
49
The MP02 can be used to provide
another device (e.g. a tablet or laptop
computer) with an Internet connection,
via 4G (LTE).
This linking process is called tethering.
Most mobile phone contracts permit it,
but some do not; contact the network
service provider for more information if
required.
⏤ To make the MP02’s Internet
connection available to other devices
• From the Main menu, select Settings,
then Connectivity, then Tethering.
• Select Turn on.
• If desired, the MP02’s network name
and password can be changed. To
cancel this process, repeatedly press
the Back key (the network name or
password will be deleted from the
screen, but this will have no effect on
what is saved in the phone).
Alternatively, press the Up or Down
key repeatedly.
• The security protocol is WPA2 PSK;
this cannot be changed.
• Tethering can also be quickly turned
on or off via the Status menu.
• The MP02’s OTA Wi-Fi connection
feature (as used for connecting to an
external Wi-Fi router for
downloading new software) will
automatically switch off when
tethering is activated.
The external device can now connect
with the MP02 via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or
USB. USB is the fastest, and also uses
the least battery power (in each device);
it will usually require software to be
installed in the second device.
