CSD Specific Parameters
TCP/IP Optimisation
To take full advantage of the high bandwidth of the PC Card, the TCP/IP window size parameter
TCPWindowSize should be changed from the default Windows
®
setting of 16k for Windows 2000,
or 64k for Windows XP. Sony Ericsson recommends a TCP/IP packet size of 43200 for optimum
performance with the PC Card. An MTU size of 1450 is also considered optimal for EDGE networks.
These settings are made automatically when the Wireless Manager is installed. They may be viewed
and, if necessary, changed in the properties of the Sony Ericsson Wireless WAN network adaptor.
Select Start Settings Network and Dial-up Connections, locate the Sony Ericsson Wireless
WAN adaptor in the list, right-click on it and select Properties.
Click Configure on the Advanced tab. If directed by your network operator, you may change the
settings by selecting TCPWindowSize or MTU and changing the value. Changes to these settings
require the network adaptor to be restarted. It is recommended that the laptop is rebooted.
