Network Configuration

In the main Wireless WAN window:
• Tap on the Tools menu, and choose Network.
By default the GSM radio modem automatically chooses from the available and allowed net-
works (allowed networks are the home network and all other networks with which the home
network has a roaming agreement). You may find there are some situations in which you
want to override this default behaviour. For example, you may want to disable roaming if
you find yourself in a border area where the home network is not available but a foreign
roaming partner is available. Abroad, you may find that an available network does not have
GPRS roaming agreements. In this case, you'll need to manually select the network which
you know to support GPRS roaming.
Automatic network selection is enabled or disabled by checking or unchecking
automatic network select
is disabled, you must select a network manually.
Available networks can also be viewed without changing any settings. Scanning for avail-
able networks is a lengthy operation—a progress bar is shown while the scan is active. For
every network that is found, the network name, country, status and numeric network identi-
fier (MCC/MNC, Mobile Country Code followed by the Mobile Network Code) is dis-
played.
Notes: Your home network operator will need to let you know which other net-
works have roaming agreements. Even when a network is listed with an
'Available' status, it does not necessarily follow that it can be used or that
the roaming agreement covers GPRS.
A status of 'Forbidden' indicates that the network cannot be used. If you
choose a network that is not covered by a roaming agreement, the status in
the main WWAN dialog box changes to 'Emergency calls only', 'No net-
work found', 'GPRS not available' or 'GPRS not allowed'.
