Data and fax communication
The Nokia D311 PC card provides the functionality of a wireless modem. In order
to connect to a remote computer, send and receive files, e-mail, and faxes, as well
as access the Internet, please take the following into account:
• You will need the appropriate data and fax communications software on your
computer. The Nokia D311 PC card is compatible with a variety of commercially
available Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows Me, Windows 2000, and
Windows XP compatible data and fax communications applications, such as
Dial-Up Networking and HyperTerminal.
• The data and fax applications that reside on your computer must be correctly
configured for use with the Nokia D311 PC card. Follow the instructions given
in the documentation of these applications and remember to select the Nokia
D311 PC card as the modem for each application.
• The data transfer and fax functions depend on the applications you have
chosen, and not only on the computer or the Nokia D311 PC card. For
information on how to use an application, please refer to that application’s
documentation.
Introduction
• You need to subscribe to the corresponding data and fax services from your
wireless provider. Contact your wireless provider for information about the
availability and details of the services in your home network. Internet access
requires that you have subscribed to the data service and obtained an Internet
access point from your wireless provider.
The Nokia D311 PC card can also be controlled with AT commands.
About data transmission
The Nokia D311 PC card employs data transmission capabilities of WLAN and GSM
networks in order to send and receive data, browse the Internet, send short
messages and e-mail, and to establish connections with other computers.
Data connections may be made from most locations where your PC card operates.
However, it is recommended that you move the PC card to a location where the
strongest possible network signal can be obtained. When the signal is strong, data
transmission is more efficient.
Factors that may impair wireless connections:
Interference – Electronic appliances and other equipment can cause radio
interference. Also in areas where PC cards are prevalent, other PC cards can impair
your wireless connection.
4
Introduction
Roaming – As the PC card user moves from one WLAN access point coverage area
or GSM network cell to another, the signal strength may drop. As a consequence,
the network may hand the user over to a coverage area and frequency where the
signal is stronger. Due to varying network traffic loads, roaming may also occur
when the user is stationary. Such roaming may cause slight delays in transmission.
Electrostatic discharge – A discharge of static electricity from a finger or a
conductor may cause erroneous functions in electrical devices. The discharge may
result in unstable software operation. Network connections may become
unreliable, data may become corrupted, and transmission halted. In those cases,
end the existing connection (if any), stop the PC card, and remove it from the PC
card slot. Then re-insert the PC card into the PC card slot and try connecting again.
Dead spots and dropouts – Dead spots are areas where radio signals cannot be
received. Dropouts occur when the PC card user passes through an area where the
radio signal is blocked or reduced by geographical or structural obstructions, such
as concrete walls.
Signal impairment – Distance and obstacles can cause signals to become out-ofphase. They can also cause reflected signals. Both situations result in a loss of
signal strength.
Low signal strength – Due to either distance or obstacles, the radio signal
strength from a WLAN access point or GSM cell site may not be strong or stable
enough to provide a reliable connection for communication. Therefore, to ensure
the best possible communication, remember to consider the following points:
• Data connection works best when the PC card is in a stationary position.
Attempting wireless data communication while in a moving vehicle is not
recommended. Fax transmission is more easily impaired than data or text
message transmission.
• Do not place the PC card on a metal surface.
General Packet Radio Service (GPRS)
Important: GPRS may not be available in all wireless networks. The
establishment and continuation of a GPRS and Internet connection
depends on network availability, wireless provider support, and signal
strength.
GP RS is a p ac ke t d at a t ec hn ology where information is sent in short bursts of data
over the mobile network. The benefit of sending data in packets is that the
network is occupied only when sending or receiving data. GPRS as such is a data
bearer that enables wireless access to data networks like the Internet. The
applications that use GPRS are SMS messaging and GPRS dial-up (for example,
the Internet and e-mail).
5
Before you can use GPRS technology:
• You need to subscribe to GPRS service.
For availability and subscription to GPRS service, contact your wireless
provider.
• You need to save the GPRS settings for the applications used over GPRS.
See “Messages” on page 31 for configuring text message settings.
See also “Create new profiles” on page 21 and “Data and fax communication”
on page 4.
Please refer to the Data Security document found on the Nokia D311 PC card CDROM for information on security issues.
Pricing for GPRS and applications
Confirm the cost of operating your PC card with your wireless provider. You may
be charged for the GPRS connection and any data that is sent and received over
the connection.
Introduction
Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)
The PC card described in this document is approved for use in a Wireless Local Area
Network (WLAN).
The Nokia D311 PC card supports the following WLAN features:
• IEEE 802.11b standard
• Data rates of 1, 2, 5.5, and 11 Mbit/s
• Operation at a frequency of 2.412 - 2.462 GHz using Direct Sequence Spread
Spectrum (DSSS) radio technology
• Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption with keys up to 152 bits.
The Nokia D311 PC card enables you to connect compatible laptop computers,
hand-held devices, desktop PCs, and other devices with a type II or III PC card slot
to a local area network through a WLAN access point. Instead of cables, radio
waves are used to transmit and receive data over the air.
If you move the computer to another location within the WLAN and out of range
of a WLAN access point, the roaming functionality can automatically connect
your computer to another access point that belongs to the same network. As long
as you remain within range of access points that belong to the same network, your
computer can stay connected to the network.

Introduction
The Nokia D311 PC card enables different types of communication in a WLAN.
There are two operating modes to choose from: infrastructure and ad hoc.
Infrastructure
The infrastructure operating mode allows two kinds of communication:
• Wireless stations communicate with each other through a WLAN access point.
• Wireless stations communicate with a wired LAN station through a WLAN
access point.
WLAN access point
Figure 1 - Infrastructure network
The advantage of the infrastructure operating mode is that you can have more
control over network connections because they pass through an access point. A
wireless station can access the services that are available in a regular wired LAN:
company database, e-mail, the Internet, and other network resources, for example.
Ad hoc
In the ad hoc operating mode, wireless stations send and receive data directly with
each other; no access point is required. Simply insert the PC cards into the
stations, make the necessary configurations, and start communicating. Ad hoc
networking is easy to set up, but communication is limited to stations that are
within range. As long as the stations are within range, you can, for example, share
and exchange files.

SIM services
Introduction
Figure 2 - Ad hoc network
See “Set up and join ad hoc networks” on page 17 for how to set up an ad hoc
network.
SIM services refers to a service which enables you to access the Internet via your
wireless service provider’s own public network. Your wireless provider may, for
example, offer you the possibility to check data from your company intranet, send
and receive e-mail, and save documents. SIM services are usually available in
public places such as hotels, airports, railway stations, business centers, and
corporate buildings.
A SIM card is used as a means for user identification: the data stored on the SIM
card is read, and if valid, you are allowed to connect to the Internet and intranets.
The SIM card is provided by the wireless provider.
Accounting data, such as used access time and/or transferred data, is passed from
the network on to the wireless provider for billing purposes. Accounting begins
when the wireless station is authenticated and ends when the wireless station
logs off.
Security in WLAN
Security issues should always be carefully considered to ensure the secure
transmission of data in both wired and wireless LANs. In current wireless systems,
for example, WLAN access points need to authenticate wireless stations to
Note: Before you can take advantage of the SIM services, you must
subscribe to these services from your wireless provider and obtain
instructions for use.
Note: The actual invoice for services from your wireless provider may vary,
depending upon network features, rounding-off for billing, taxes and so
forth.

Introduction
prevent unauthorized access to the network. Authentication is a service that
confirms the identity of an entity, such as a user or a computer, or confirms the
origin of a transmitted message.
The Nokia D311 PC card supports the Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) protocol,
which offers basic protection in WLAN. The WEP protocol utilizes the RC4
algorithm with an up to 152-bit secret key, which encrypts data before it is
transmitted over radio waves. When the wireless stations in a WLAN wish to
communicate using WEP, they must have the same WEP key in possession.
The Nokia D311 PC card is also compatible with leading Virtual Private Network
(VPN) clients over GPRS and WLAN. VPN is recommended for more secure network
access.
The Nokia D311 PC card is equipped with an integrated smart card reader. SIM
cards and smart card readers provide a tool for managing secure user
authentication in a WLAN. SIM cards also provide an easy way for users to carry an
authentication device with them. On a SIM card users can store important
information, such as WEP keys and network profiles.
The smart card reader reads the data stored on the computer chip and sends it to
the network for processing. The SIM card is protected by a PIN code; to access the
contents of the SIM card, you need to enter the correct PIN code.

Getting started
With the Nokia D311 PC card you can:
• establish a General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) connection where
information is sent in short bursts of data over the cellular network. The
benefit of sending data in packets is that the network is occupied only when
sending or receiving data. GPRS is ideal for applications which transmit data in
short bursts, such as Web browsers. The data ra te can be u p t o 4 0.2 Kb it/ s. Yo u
need to subscribe to the GPRS service.
• connect to a GSM network where you can send and receive text and picture
messages. You can also connect to the Internet or your e-mail by making a
data call, which enables data transmission rates of up to 14.4 Kbit/s. You can
make GSM data calls if your network supports data calls and you have
subscribed to this service.
• connect to a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) and send and receive data
like in a regular wired LAN. The data rate in WLAN can be up to 11 Mbit/s.
Getting started
Connect to a network
To be able to connect to a network you need a network profile. Easy connection
profile with predefined settings is automatically created during software
installation. This profile enables network access without your needing to
configure any settings.
If you want to create a profile yourself, see “Create new profiles” on page 21 for
more information.
You need a SIM card to be able to establish a GSM or GPRS connection.
To create a network connection:
1 Slide the SIM card into the smart card slot of the Nokia
D311 PC card. Make sure that the metal contacts of
the SIM card are facing down and that the bevelled
corner is on the right.
Note: Insert the SIM card into the slot until the edge
with the bevelled corner can no longer be seen, but no
further than that.
Note that the PC card does not support 5 Volt SIM
cards.
