| Data
in GSM
and GPRS We reviewed the main vocal features, now we are going to discover what's more interesting while using this sleeve: The data part, whether in GSM or GPRS mode. If you want to, you may discover on this site, what GSM and GPRS are by clicking on these links : GSM - GPRS. Talking about parameters, these are the same than those you have determined while setting the use of your Ipaq with your mobile phone through the infrared ports. The detailed implementation of this connection to Internet, including the subscription to Internet and its use, are detailed in the book "Pocket PC - All its Universe" edited by Sybex. We will show you how to set the parameters for the GPRS when the offers of the operators will be marketed in France, or we invite you to ask for the parameters to use to your operator. Wetheryou are usingGSM ou GPRS, the use of the DATA part is exactly the same for you, once the parameters are set. To a nuance however, that is, every time that you want to connect to Internet to get your mails, to surf, to run your applications in " light customer " mode, the GSM card will connect to the network, whereas while in GPRS, your Pocket PC is connected permanently. To get there, use the menu that unfolds itself on the top of your screen while pointing on one of the icons of the menu bar on the top of your screen and selecting the option Voice Center. You then get back to the general menu of the software of your sleeve : |

By pointing on the link to reach the site, you will see your Pocket PC connecting automatically to the network sif it was not already connected, whether in GSM or GPRS. The following notifications will appear on your screen : To begin, the setting of the connection. What does your machine do ? It sets up a link between the radio part of your Sleeve and the receiving antenna of the nearest mobile network (The antenna is called a BTS, look up the description of the GSM and GPRS network ). Once it has set up the link with the antenna, a connection with the server of your internet access service provider (ASP) is set. Within this introduction, we will use a provider named Free (in order to remain coherent with the book " Pocket PC - All its Universe " which explains how to set the parameters of the Internet connection). The parameters are the same that those described in the book. Your ASP is going to route your request towards the Internet server requested, upon the receipt of your request it will send back the page asked in HTML form. The Internet Browser (Internet Explorer) of your Pocket PC will translate the HTML marks and rearrange them in order to submit it to you in an usable form to a human being, which is you. |
