2. Tap on the Connection tab
to open the page on which you can
attach your PL300 to packet
network.
3. On the ‘Connection’ page,
tap on the ‘Connect’ button, your
PL3000 starts attaching to the
GPRS network of your service
provider (see the adjacent figure).
When your PL3000 is
connecting to the GPRS network,
the Connection page shows it in its
‘State’ field. If you need, for some
reason, to stop the connection
establishment, you can tap on the
’Cancel’ button on the Connection
page.
Your PL3000 is GPRS-
attached to the external packet
network, when the ‘State:’ field on
the Connection page displays
‘Connected’. If you want to detach
your PL3000 from the GPRS network, tap on the ‘Disconnect’ button. However,
when you power down the PL3000, the GPRS modem detaches itself from the
network and indicates it to you with a notification sound.
There remain two optional
completion tasks before
trying the connectivity:
1. If you want to get your
PL3000 automatically to connect to
your service provider’s network
after powering it up, check the
‘Automatic connect’ checkbox on
the Connection page, before
tapping on the ‘OK’ button in the
top right-hand corner of the
‘WWAN Configuration’ window to
close the applet.
2. It is also recommended that
you make your configuration
permanent; see the section
‘Making Your Configuration
Settings Permanent’ on page 97 after closing the control panel.
