2-26 Operating Your Computer
Configuring a GSM Modem Connection
Before you can use the GSM modem connection, make sure that you have
a subscription to the Circuit-Switched Data (CSD) network with your
service provider and you have an account with your service provider or
corporate network you are connecting to.
To connect to an ISP or dial in to a specific computer, you must configure
a connection for that service on your computer.
Connecting Using GPRS
Your computer can receive General Packet Radio Services (GPRS), a
high-speed data-only service that transmits data over a mobile telephone
network. In addition, GPRS provides permanent on-line connection.
To use GPRS, you must have a subscription to the function with a service
provider that supports GPRS.
Configuring a GPRS Connection
To connect to a GPRS network, you must configure a connection for that
service on your computer.
Using the GPS
NOTE: To take advantage of the GPS feature, the PL-2303X driver supplied with your
computer must be installed (see chapter 6 for details).
Navigation and positioning are crucial to so many activities and yet the
process has always been quite cumbersome. To try to figure out where
you are and where you are going, you need GPS technology.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a worldwide radio-navigation
system formed from a constellation of 24 satellites and their ground
stations. GPS uses these "man-made stars" as reference points to calculate
positions accurate to a matter of meters. In fact, with advanced forms of
GPS you can make measurements to better than a centimeter! In a sense it
is like giving every square meter on the planet a unique address.
