You need to open a cellular account with your cellular service provider to enable
the cellular gateway module on your unit.
On opening the account you receive the following:
– A cell-phone number
– GSM/GPRS SIM card
4.2 SIM card
When ordering the GSM/GPRS SIM card, be sure to specify to the cellular service
provider that the SIM card needs to be activated for GPRS data services (unlo-
cked). In some locations you might receive a password for this, and maybe even a
different number.

The IP functionality is designed for use with a CMS and requires support from CSC.
For TCP/IP connection you need:
– APN (Access Point Name)
APN is the name of an access point for GPRS. It identifies an external network
that is accessible from a terminal. An APN has several attributes associated with
it that define how you can access the external network at that point.
Speak to your local service provider to get the ATN of your network.
