Chapter 5: Settings Advanced Information 5.35.4 Advanced Information In most cases, when a GSM/GPRS radio and SIM are installed in your hand-held, setup is automatic. Follow the steps outlined under the heading “Establishing A Connection” on page 226 to make a connection. The information in this section is for advanced setup purposes.
NDIS error An internal software error has occurred. If a reset does not clear this condi- tion, Psion Teklogix technical support may need to investigate further. 5.35.5 Tools Menu The Tools menu in the main Wireless WAN dialog box offers some additional, advanced setup features.
Chapter 5: Settings Tools Menu 5.35.5.1 Data Connection Configuration Enable Automatic Connect If the Enable automatic connect checkbox is checked (unchecked by default), the Wireless WAN user interface will attempt to establish a packet data connection whenever packet data is available (e.g. after resume from suspend without further user interaction).
Page 249
Use Virtual Serial Port If Use virtual serial port is enabled, packet data connections are established through the virtual serial port of the WWAN driver rather than through the WWAN driver directly. This checkbox should only be checked if certain third-party VPN (Virtual Private Network) clients are used that do not work correctly otherwise.
Page 250
Chapter 5: Settings Tools Menu If connection profiles are configured manually then the Enable automatic configuration: checkbox should normally be unchecked. In one particular use case, manually configured profiles may be combined with automatic configuration. If multiple SIM cards are used with the same device, each SIM card being from a different operator and some or all of them requiring a manually set up profile, automatic configuration may be used to automatically pick the correct manually configured profile for each SIM card.
Page 251
Chapter 5: Settings Tools Menu Tapping on the New button allows you to create a new profile. The name of the newly created profile must be different from all existing profiles. Also, the name cannot be Default. When the New Data Profile dialog box is opened, a proposal for a unique name is filled in the corresponding entry field.
Chapter 5: Settings Tools Menu Advanced IP The Advanced IP button in the Show Profile and Edit Profile dialog boxes opens another dialog box that allows you to configure a static IP address as well as the IP addresses for the primary and secondary DNS and WINS resolvers. 5.35.5.2 Security Configuration The Security Configuration dialog box is called up through the Tools menu.
If unauthorized access to the device is a concern, the Require PIN on resume checkbox should be checked. In this case, you will be prompted whenever a PIN is required and the PIN is not stored. 5.35.5.3 Network Configuration Note: Network configuration is not available with CDMA modems. In the main Wireless WAN screen: •...
Chapter 5: Settings Tools Menu 5.35.5.4 Driver Mode Configuration By default, the Wireless WAN driver is enabled (the Enable driver checkbox is checked). The driver must be disabled in order to access the modem directly (e.g. dial-up data, fax, or in order to manually submit AT commands to the modem for development, testing, approvals, etc.).
5.35.5.5 Modem Information The fields in this dialog box cannot be edited – they only display information about the WORKABOUT PRO modem. If the network operator has not programmed a user’s phone number into the SIM, the Phone field remains empty. The modem serial number is called IMEI for GSM modems and ESN for CDMA modems.

Chapter 5: Settings SMS Menu 5.35.6 SMS Menu SMS functions are accessed through the SMS menu. For modems that support a SIM card, the SIM initialization typically takes longer than the network initializa- tion, resulting in a noticeable delay before the SMS functions become available. 5.35.6.1 New SMS Tapping on New opens a dialog box for sending a new SMS message.
Chapter 5: Settings SMS Menu 5.35.6.2 Inbox Tapping on Inbox opens the list of received messages. Reading 50 messages, for example, from the SIM can take about 30 seconds. By default the list of messages is sorted with the most recently received message first. The list can be sorted by any other column by clicking on the corresponding column heading.
Chapter 5: Settings SMS Menu 5.35.6.3 Outbox Tapping on Outbox opens a list of sent messages. Otherwise the Outbox behaves exactly as the Inbox described above. The date and time when a message was sent is not available for GSM modems. 5.35.6.4 SMS Configuration Tapping on SMS Configuration opens the SMS configuration dialog.
Page 260
Chapter 5: Settings SMS Menu Note: Only certain discrete validity period values can be sent and thus, the validity period is rounded to the nearest allowed value. The next time the SMS configuration dialog is opened, the rounded value is shown. The user interface tries to keep the SMS storage location available for a new incoming message if the Delete oldest message when full checkbox is checked.
