4.3. Running GlobeTrotter Connect

As soon as you plug in a compatible communications device (Card, USB

device…). GlobeTrotter Connect shows up in the Systray.

GlobeTrotter Connect is now ready to make a connection. Don’t forget that

apart from the software the Option communications device also needs to be

ready. E.g. you can’t use the device while it isn’t registered to the network

or if the PIN code hasn’t been entered yet.

4.4. Entering your PIN code

If you have enabled the PIN code on your SIM card you will automatically be

asked to type it in. If enabled you won’t be able to use your data device until

you have typed in the PIN code. This will happen every time you power up

the device.

code) the device will look for the network. You can check the status by

moving your mouse pointer over the GlobeTrotter Connect icon to get a quick

status report showing the network name, technology being used and the

signal quality:
