4. Establish Internet Access
Internet Access Using:
•
GSM with GPRS
•
CDMA 1x Data
A single DUN number is generally used by all of a wireless provider's subscribers throughout its
area of coverage – regional, nationwide, continental, etc. Rather than being a literal phone
directory number, as in conventional DUN, this is a code that gives the modem Internet access.
Internet Access Using:
•
GSM without GPRS
•
CDMA Point-to-Point Data
A circuit-switched data connection is used. Use the dial-up-network (DUN) to make a
conventional V.32 modem connection to any terminating modem at the other end. The phone
number specified in the DUN can be one supplied by the wireless service provider or another
phone number related to a different dialup modem service (e.g., a dialup modem service phone
number from any commercial or private dialup network).
