Wireless Wide Area Networks
Use Wireless wide area networks (WWANs) to access data over a cellular network. This section provides
information on:
• Sharing a data connection
• Changing Cellular Network settings
• Locking a SIM card
• Monitoring data usage.
Sharing the Mobile Data Connection
The tethering & portable hotspot settings allow you to share your data connection. You can share the TC56’s
mobile data connection with a single computer via USB tethering or Bluetooth tethering. You can also share the
data connection with up to eight devices at once, by turning it into a portable Wi-Fi hotspot. While the TC56 is
sharing its data connection, an icon appears at the top of the screen and a corresponding message appears in the
notification list.
USB Tethering
1. Connect the TC56 to a host computer with the USB cable.
NOTE USB tethering is not supported on computers running Mac OS. If your computer is running Windows 7 or a
recent version of Linux (such as Ubuntu), follow these instructions without any special preparation. If running a
version of Windows that precedes Windows 7, or some other operating system, you may need to prepare the
computer to establish a network connection via USB.
