Sony GC79 - Manual (Page 36)

36 GC79 Manager Status Screen
When a connection is established, the connection statistics (duration, bytes transmitted, bytes
received) are displayed and updated at regular intervals.
Note:
Statistics display is not supported on Window 98(SE) or Me platforms. To view statistic data
when using these operating systems hover your mouse cursor over the standard Windows
Dial-up Networking icon.
Connection
To connect, cancel or disconnect a GPRS or HSCSD/CSD data session
use the Connect/Disconnect drop down menu. The menu displays all the
connections you have defined, so you can quickly select the required
connection.
The Control button, located underneath the drop down menu, changes its
appearance depending on the state of the GC79 connection. The button
allows you to:
• Initiate a connection (Connect)
• Cancel connection attempt (Cancel)
• Disconnect (Hang-up) an existing session
To create a connection see Create a GPRS, HSCSD or CSD Connection on page 21.
Note:
You can also launch or terminate a CSD dialup networking sessions directly from the Windows
Network Connections icon. A HSCSD networking session initiated outside GC79 Manager will
require some additional settings to be added to your init string, see Appendix D- Initiating a
HSCSD Connection from Outside the GC79 Manager on page 79.
Wireless LAN Connection Status
The right side of the Status screen shows information about your wireless LAN connection,
including:
• Wireless LAN connection status
• Connection speed
• Signal strength
• Network name (SSID)
The Disable/Enable button allows you to switch the wireless LAN radio on and off.
