Chapter 5 MC9094 Configuration

Introduction

This chapter explains how to verify MC9094 service on an Enhanced Data rates for Global Evolution (EDGE)
wireless network and establish settings. EDGE is also known as Enhanced General Packet Radio Service
(EGPRS).
EDGE networks deliver mobile voice and data services, such as Short Message Service (SMS)/Text
Messaging, with full roaming capabilities across the world. General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) enabled
networks offer Internet-based content and packet-based data services. This enables services such as internet
browsing, e-mail on the move, powerful visual communications, multimedia messages and location-based
services.
When using the MC9094 as a phone, services can include speed dialing, call tracking, voice mail, call
forwarding, conference calling and caller ID, depending on the type of service.
The integrated phone in the mobile computer can also be used as a modem to connect the mobile computer to
an ISP or work network. The GSM/GPRS enabled mobile computer can connect to the Internet or work
network over GPRS, using Cellular Line, or using the modem specified by the mobile phone service provider.
NOTE Before a mobile computer can be used on a wireless network, a provider must be selected, a voice and
data-enabled service plan must be established and the mobile computer must be properly configured
(where applicable).
Refer to the MC909X User Guide for information on how to use the phone and services.
