Getting Started

Checklist

Make sure the following items are in the box when you unpack it:

• Aluminium protective case for storing the EDGE PC Card and its antenna

• GC82, GC83 or GC85 PC Card

• 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 EDGE PC Card.

Network and Subscription

The network subscription you use in conjunction with your EDGE PC Card depends on the functions and features 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. Verify the service you require, such as Internet, email or corporate VPN (Virtual Private Network) service is available through your mobile operator and enabled on 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 EDGE PC Card operates at this higher speed where available.

General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) GPRS is a type of 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 EDGE PC Card receives data at speeds up to 53.6 kbps and transmits at speeds up to 26.8 kbps.

Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution (EDGE) EDGE enhances GPRS by increasing data throughput by a factor of 3. GPRS networks enhanced with EDGE are often referred to as E-GPRS (Enhanced GPRS) networks. EDGE provides the “always on” capability of GPRS but at faster speeds. EDGE technology is transparent, simply make a GPRS connection as usual and benefit from the increase in speed where EDGE is available in a network.

Short Message Service (SMS) The PC can send and receive SMS text messages using the SMS Messages screen in the Wireless Manager, see Wireless Manager SMS Messages Screen on page 28, for more details.

Windows Log on Using GPRS/EDGE Dial-up Connection

The EDGE PC Card supports the Windows Log on using dial-up connection feature.

To log on to Windows using a dial-up connection the EDGE PC Card must be inserted and the radio enabled before you log on. To enable the radio prior to logon, select Enable radio immediately when card inserted checkbox in the Radio Power preferences tab, see Radio Power Tab on page 10 for more details.

Important! Never start your PC in this mode if you are in a location where mobile devices shouldn’t be used, for example, on an aeroplane, in hospital or near a blast site.

Only check this option if you need to log on to a Windows Domain via a wireless dial-up connection. This will permit the EDGE PC Card to register with the network and establish a connection when the Windows logon screen is displayed.

Note: It is not possible to display network status or signal strength during the Windows logon procedure, so you should allow enough time for the EDGE PC Card to find and register with the wireless network prior to attempting to log on.

The dial-up connections available to the Windows Logon must have been created by a user account with Administrator privilege and designated For all users. This must be done using the Windows Network Connection Wizard, because the Wireless Manager can only create connections for the current user ID.

Normally the Windows Logon using dial-up connection will be using a CSD session to a corporate network, so that the logon credentials can be validated by a Windows Domain Server.

There may be special circumstances where a GPRS dial-up connection is required for logon. To create a GPRS dial-up connection, follow these steps:

1. Create the Windows dial-up connection using the Windows Network Connection Wizard.

For the telephone number, use *99***3#.

2. Set the GPRS context parameters in the EDGE PC Card using the following AT

commands. Type the AT Commands into the Windows Hyperterminal program.

AT+CGDCONT=3,“IP”,“<AccessPointName>”,“”,0,0 where <AccessPointName> is the name of the special GPRS access point for your corporate GPRS service. Note: In this example, we used GPRS Context 3. There are 10 possible contexts supported by the EDGE PC Card (1..10). Context ID 2 is reserved for use by connections created by the Wireless Manager. The context definition is stored in nonvolatile memory in the EDGE PC card and only needs to be set up once. Cards could be set up, for example, by the IT Manager using a different laptop.

Refer to the AT Command Manual or contact your service provider for further assistance.

Networks

Current Network

You can select which network you want to use by going to Networks and then choosing Current Network.

Searching for the available networks:

• Click Retrieve, the current network appears in the box with all the other currently available

networks.

The available networks will fall into one of the following three categories:

• The home network.

• Available networks, networks that your home mobile operator has a roaming agreement

with.

• Forbidden networks, you can’t use these networks except for emergency calls. If your

home network and a forbidden network come to an agreement that allows you to use the forbidden network, you can select this network even though it is forbidden.

Choosing another network:

1 Uncheck Automatically choose a network for me. 2 Select the network that you want to use. 3 Click Apply to transfer the setting to your EDGE PC Card.

The message Please wait appears briefly on the screen. If you are not allowed to use the network that you have chosen, Forbidden is displayed.

Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use

Please read this information before using your GC82, GC83 or GC85.

Recommendations

• Always treat your product with care and keep it in a clean and dust-free place.

• Do not expose your product to liquid or moisture or humidity.

• Do not expose your product to extreme high or low temperatures.

• Do not expose your product to open flames or lit tobacco products.

• Do not drop, throw or try to bend your product.

• Do not paint your product.

• Do not use your product near medical equipment without requesting permission.

• Do not use your product when in, or around aircraft, or areas posted “turn off two-way

radio”.

• Do not use your product in an area where a potentially explosive atmosphere exists.

• Do not place your product or install wireless equipment in the area above your car’s air

bag.

• Do not attempt to disassemble your product. Only Sony Ericsson authorised personnel

should perform service.

Antenna

Only use an antenna that has been specifically designed by Sony Ericsson for your EDGE PC Card. Use of unauthorised or modified antennas could damage your EDGE PC Card and may violate regulations, causing loss of performance and SAR levels above the recommended limits (see below).

Efficient Use

Do not cover the antenna when in use, as this affects call quality and may cause the EDGE PC Card to operate at a higher power level than needed, thus shortening talk and standby times.

Radio Frequency (RF) Exposure and SAR

Your PC Card is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver (transceiver). When it is turned on, it emits low levels of radio frequency energy (also known as radio waves or radio frequency fields).

Governments around the world have adopted comprehensive international safety guidelines, developed by scientific organizations, e.g. ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection) and IEEE (The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.), through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. These guidelines establish permitted levels of radio wave exposure for the general population. The levels include a safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health, and to account for any variations in

measurements.

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of measurement for the amount of radio frequency energy absorbed by the body when using a transceiver. The SAR value is determined at the highest certified power level in laboratory conditions, but the actual SAR level of the transceiver while operating can be well below this value. This is because the transceiver is designed to use the minimum power required to reach the network.

Variations in SAR below the radio frequency exposure guidelines do not mean that there are variations in safety. While there may be differences in SAR levels among mobile phones, all Sony Ericsson PC Cards are designed to meet radio frequency exposure guidelines.

Before a PC Card is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations as required by the FCC for each model. For body worn operation, this PC Card has been tested and meets FCC RF exposure guidelines for fixed and mobile use when the PC Card is installed in a PCMCIA card slot of a standard Laptop PC with the original antenna.

Sony Ericsson has not measured, and makes no representation about, the body worn SAR levels when the PC Card is used in any portable host equipment or when any changes to the original product has been made.

More information on radio frequency exposure and SAR can be found on: www.sonyericsson.com.

Personal Medical Devices

EDGE PC Cards may affect the operation of cardiac pacemakers and other implanted equipment. If a minimum distance of 15 cm (6 inches) is kept between the EDGE PC Card and the pacemaker, the risk of interference is limited. If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, immediately turn off your EDGE PC Card. Contact your cardiologist for more information.

For other medical devices, please consult the manufacturer of the device.

Children

DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO PLAY WITH YOUR EDGE PC CARD OR ITS ANTENNA. THEY COULD HURT THEMSELVES OR OTHERS, OR COULD ACCIDENTALLY DAMAGE THE EDGE PC CARD OR ANTENNA. YOUR EDGE PC CARD OR ITS ANTENNA MAY CONTAIN SMALL PARTS THAT COULD BE DETACHED AND CREATE A CHOKING HAZARD.

Disposing of the Product

Your EDGE PC Card should not be placed in municipal waste. Please check local regulations for disposal of electronic products.

Emergency Calls

EDGE PC Cards manufactured by Sony Ericsson do not support voice calls, hence their use for essential communications (e.g. medical emergencies) is not possible.

Inserting and removing the SIM card – precautions against electrostatic discharge (ESD)

Do not touch the SIM card connectors. As a precaution, always make sure that the EDGE PC Card is already in your hand before you insert or remove the SIM card.

An ‘address’ that the service provider knows you by and uses to route information to and from your EDGE PC Card. Your IP address will either be: Server - assigned by the service provider when you connect. Static - assigned once by the service provider or the IT Manager. If your IP address is Static you must enter it into Own IP address fields which is available when you select Details in the Connection APN dialog. This tells the EDGE PC Card where to find the service provider’s DNS Service. DNS translates addresses such as www.sonyericsson.com to the numeric IP address so that the information can be accessed. Like IP assignment above, the DNS can be static or allocated by the service provider when you connect. If static is selected additional fields need to be completed containing the static information.

To take full advantage of the high bandwidth of the PC Card, the TCP/IP window size parameter TCPWindowSize should be changed from the default Windows setting of 16k for Windows 2000, or 64k for Windows XP. Sony Ericsson recommends a TCP/IP packet size of 43200 for optimum performance with the PC Card. An MTU size of 1450 is also considered optimal for EDGE networks.

These settings are made automatically when the Wireless Manager is installed. They may be viewed and, if necessary, changed in the properties of the Sony Ericsson Wireless WAN network adaptor.

Select Start Wireless WAN adaptor in the list, right-click on it and select Properties.

Settings Network and Dial-up Connections, locate the Sony Ericsson

Click Configure on the Advanced tab. If directed by your network operator, you may change the settings by selecting TCPWindowSize or MTU and changing the value. Changes to these settings require the network adaptor to be restarted. It is recommended that the laptop is rebooted.

If you have previously optimised TCPWindowSize, for example as directed by a broadband internet service provider, then check whether that setting is global or specific to the network adaptor over which the broadband connection is made. It is preferable that all TCPWindowSize settings are specific to the network adaptor involved, since this ensures that each individual connection is correctly optimised.

In some cases it is necessary to set TCPWindowSize globally. Further information and a utility to do this is available at www.sonyericsson.com/support.
