18 Start Using GC79 Manager
Text Messaging Tab
You can use this tab to enable reception of specific message classes from the SMS Cell Broadcast
service and to set the SMS received audio alarm to on or off. Select the radio buttons to activate
the options.
Example of SMS Cell Broadcast message types:
To enter multiple SMS Cell Broadcast message types separate each entry with a comma,
for example, 000, 034, 076.
Note:
SMS Cell Broadcast message types are network specific. Contact your GSM network operator
for more details.
This screen also allows you to set a validity period for the SMS messages that you are sending.
If your message can not be delivered, for example, if the recipient hasn’t inserted their GC79,
the validity period tells your service centre how long to keep trying to send the message.
Notifications Tab
Click the Notifications tab. You can decide if you want to display a splash screen every time GC79
Manager is opened or closed and a program end confirmation box. Select the radio buttons to activate
the options.
GPRS Connection Tab
Establish GPRS connection at startup
Select this option to automatically connect to your chosen GSM network when GC79 Manager
is started. GC79 Manager waits until GPRS is registered and then it establish the specified GPRS
connection. Simply select the name of the connection to be established from the drop down list.
To automatically connect when you start or restart your PC see the example below. If you need
to connect at Windows log on see Appendix B - Windows Log on using a GSM/GPRS Dial-up
Connection on page 76.
Example: If you want your GC79 to be available and a GPRS internet connection to
be automatically established when you boot your laptop:
- Set Preferences Misc Run this program when Windows Starts
- Set Preferences GPRS Connections Establish GPRS Connection
At Startup and select the GPRS connection required.
Re-establish GPRS connection if dropped
If this option is checked, the GC79 Manager will attempt to re-establish the GPRS connection
if it is disconnected due to GSM network problem (poor signal, etc).
