CHAPTER 4 WAN GSM CONFIGURATION
Introduction
This chapter explains how to verify MC67 service on an Global System for Mobile communications (GSM)
wireless network and establish settings.
GSM networks deliver mobile voice and data services, such as Short Message Service (SMS)/Text Messaging,
with full roaming capabilities across the world. High-speed Packet Access + (HSPA+) enabled networks offer
Internet-based content and packet-based data services. This enables services such as internet browsing,
e-mail on the move, powerful visual communications, multimedia messages, and location-based services.
When using the MC67 as a phone, services can include speed dialing, call tracking, voice mail, call forwarding,
conference calling, and caller ID, depending on the type of service.
Also use the integrated phone as a modem to connect the MC67 to an ISP or work network. The GSM enabled
MC67 can connect to the Internet or work network using Cellular Line, or using the modem specified by the
mobile phone service provider.
MC67 Service Verification
MC67 phone and data services require a live SIM card, obtained from a service provider, installed in the MC67.
The SIM card has embedded circuitry on one side of its surface which, when inserted into an MC67, provides
phone service. The SIM card provides a phone number, determines the features or services available to the
subscriber and identifies the subscriber to the network.
With most SIM card, the MC67 automatically configures the data connection, otherwise it is required to
manually configure the data connection before using.
Ensuring Network Coverage
To ensure network coverage:
NOTE Before using an MC67 on a wireless network, first select a provider, establish a voice and data-enabled
service plan, and configure the MC67 (where applicable). Refer to the MC67 User Guide for information
on how to use the phone and services.
