PIN (for authentication)
When enabled, it means you need to provide PIN code for authentication while connecting the
cradle to a GSM or GPRS network. If the current and new PIN codes listed below this entry are
blank, you will have to input them via the Configure menu.
When disabled, it means authentication is disabled; however, you still have to input the correct
PIN code as the current one in use.
APN
Name of access point that connects the mobile network to the Internet — For establishing a GPRS
connection, you will have to provide the access point name.
CHAP
Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol — When enabled, user name and password are
required.
DHCP
When enabled, DHCP server is in use.
When disabled, you will have to specify a static IP address for the cradle.
Note: You must input the PIN code even though authentication is disabled!
The default PIN, APN, CHAP, as well as IP settings should be obtained from your
Internet service provider (ISP) or network operator.
