Introduction 5
Introduction
Congratulations and thank you for buying the Sony Ericsson GPRS PC Card Modem GC75. The
GC75 is a triple band GSM product that enables you to communicate wirelessly from your laptop on
all five continents, in over one hundred and sixty countries. As the GC75 provides wireless
communications you no longer need to carry cables, telephone jack converters, chargers and
batteries. The GC75 is very simple to install and use; the software provided allows you to select the
best data service available so that the GC75 is always available for data transfer.
The GC75 enables your laptop PC to:
• Browse the Internet
• Send and receive e-mails
• Receive information services in real time
• Access files, databases and discussion groups
• Send and receive SMS text messages
• Edit SIM card entries
Note:
Before using your GC75 you MUST read Important Information on page 41.
Hardware Overview
The GC75 is a standard 16 bit type II PC card. It is standard length and only the antenna protrudes
outside the PC card slot.
The GC75 operates in 3 or 5 volt slots by automatically switching to the correct voltage. The amount
of power drawn from the laptop battery is dependant upon a number of factors including status,
frequency band, distance to GSM base station and number of timeslots used. See Technical
Specifications on page 43 for a general guide to power consumption.
Before you can start using the GC75 you need to put the hardware together. You will also need a
SIM card.
SIM Card
When you subscribe to a mobile network operator, you are issued with a SIM card (Subscriber
Identity Module card). The SIM contains your personal subscriber data. You need a SIM to use
GC75.
6 Introduction
Software Overview
GC75 Manager
You can use the GC75 Manager to:
• Display GC75 status information
• Create or modify connection settings
• Connect to the Internet or a corporate network
• Manage GC75 settings
• Manage SIM card and PC phonebooks
• Send and receive SMS messages
Using the GC75 with your Applications
Data Programs
You can use the GC75 as a modem to provide Intranet/Internet connectivity for a wide range of
applications.
The GC75 can also be programmed at command level by application developers for more details see
the AT Commands Manual.
Fax Programs
You can use the GC75 as a fax provided you have the correct software, e.g. Microsoft Fax (Windows
2000 and XP).
The GC75 can also be programmed at command level by application developers for more details see
the AT Commands Manual.
Documentation
The GC75’s documentation is designed to enhance your understanding of its capabilities. The
following guides are provided:
• A printed Quick Start Guide aimed at getting you operational as quickly as possible.
• An online User’s Guide (this document) containing a comprehensive description of the GC75
functionality. You can read the guide on the computer screen or print it on to either European A4
or American Letter sized paper.
• An online AT Commands Manual, aimed at application developers, containing a full list of all
the modem commands that can be used with GC75. The manual can be read online or printed in
the same way as the User’s Guide.
The User’s Guide and the AT Commands Manual are located on GC75 CD-ROM as Adobe Acrobat
PDF files. The GC75 CD-ROM also contains Adobe Acrobat Reader
®
which you can install if
necessary.
The User’s Guide and the AT Commands Manual can be saved on to your computer’s hard drive
during the software installation. If you selected the shortcut option during installation the
documentation is accessed via Start Programs Sony Ericsson. Alternatively you can open
the documentation and either read or print it directly from the CD-ROM.
Introduction 7
Illustrations
The illustrations in this manual were obtained using the GC75 on a Microsoft Windows
®
2000
operating system. The dialogs that appear on your PC may differ depending on the version of
Windows
®
in use.
8 Getting Started
Getting Started
Checklist
Make sure the following items are in the box when you unpack it:
• Protective plastic case for storing the GC75 and its antenna
• GC75 PC Card
•SIM tray
• Antenna
• Quick Start Guide
• CD-ROM
The CD contains; drivers, software, documentation and a readme file.
System Requirements
This section lists the network subscriptions, hardware and software requirements for running the
GC75 PC Card.
Network and Subscription
The network subscription you use in conjunction with your GC75 depends on the subscriptions your
network operator can provide. Contact your network operator or service provider to make sure the
options you require are available. Make sure that data options are included in your subscription, as
these are usually optional services.
Note:
Mobile operators often provide a number of connectivity options via GPRS such as WAP and
Internet, so check that the Internet or VPN service you require is enabled for your subscription.
The functionality of the different subscriptions available from networks operators are discussed
below:
Circuit Switched Data (CSD)
CSD is the original GSM network data transfer method, used in the past for WAP. Almost all GSM
networks have this capability at 9.6 kbps. It is possible for the network to upgrade the speed to
14.4 kbps. The GC75 operates at this higher speed where available.
High Speed Circuit Switched Data (HSCSD)
HSCSD is an enchanced GSM network capability offered by some network operators. It enables
circuit switched data connections to run at a higher data speed, using more than one wireless
‘timeslot’ for the data transmission. This is ideal for providing a faster connection to existing
corporate or ISP dial-up facilities. The preferred connection speed is selected when you define the
connection using the Connection Wizard.
Getting Started 9
General Packet Radio Service (GPRS)
GPRS is a new network connection which provides “always on” mobility. The connection set up is
fast and, once connected, applications may send and receive data whenever required. In today’s
GPRS networks, the GC75 receives data at speeds up to 53.6 kbps and transmits at speeds up to 26.8
kbps.
Short Message Service (SMS)
The PC can send and receive SMS text messages using the SMS Messages screen in the GC75
Manager, see GC75 Manager SMS Messages Screen on page 33, for more details.
Hardware
You will need:
• A PC that has the minimum specification recommended by Microsoft to run the version of
Windows
®
installed on it.
• A 16 bit type II PC Card slot.
• Sony Ericsson GPRS PC Card Modem GC75
Software
You will need:
•Windows
®
98SE, Me, 2000 (SP2) or XP.
