4. Set the access point name appropriately (usually “INTERNET” or “operatorname.com”).

5. Set the GPRS network username and password appropriately if your GPRS service requires

authentication.

6. Set default route to enabled. With this setup, you are able for example to browse the web.

7. Optionally, set the PIN code and PPP idle timeout.

• If your SIM card has the PIN code set, type the code into the PIN code field.

• PPP idle timeout defines the time in seconds how often the Arctic resets the GPRS

connection if the connection is idle.

• ICMP Echo is used to monitor GPRS connection between Arctic and a remote host. If the

designated host cannot be reached the GPRS connection is restarted. This feature should

be always enabled from Network Æ Monitor menu.

8. Finally click Apply and then Commit to store the settings.

Reboot the Arctic for the settings to take effect. Check GPRS status from Network/Summary Menu.

Useful GSM/GPRS Information

Useful GSM/GPRS information can be obtained from Tool Æ Modem Info Menu:

Note: If the PIN code querying is enabled on the SIM card and the PIN code is entered wrongly

three (3) times, the card locks up and will then require that an additional code is to be entered

to open the card from locked state. It is thus important to set the code with the

rctic

Configurator before plugging the SIM card in.
