The expandable menus in the left-side frame provide access to the

LAN-Cell’s advanced configuration screens. In addition, many of the Home

screen field labels are “hot linked” to their corresponding configuration

pages. Some items you may need to configure for your specific application

include:

Network > LAN Use the screens in this area to change the LAN-Cell’s IP

address and its DHCP server settings.

Network > WAN The screens in this area configure the Wired and Cellular

WAN settings. Refer to your ISP’s documentation

regarding their requirements.

Wireless > Cellular After activating the PC-Card modem with your cellular

carrier and inserting it into the PC-Card slot, you must

also configure the 3G interface using this screen (see

below). The PC-Card modem must complete initialization

and registration on your carrier’s network – this process

may take up to several minutes each time the PC-Card is

reset. The Connection Status on the Home Screen will

show READY when dialing attempts can commence.
