System Requirements

This section lists the network subscriptions, hardware and software requirements for running the GC75.
Network and Subscription
The network subscription you use in conjunction with your GC75 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 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.
