Quick Overview

This documentation covers how to get the cell modem ready for use:

•Set up a data account and receive a SIM card.

•Install the SIM card in the cell modem, and seal the card portal.

•Install pack on the handheld.

•Run setup program to configure the cell modem.

GSM Modem Activation Instructions

Thank you for purchasing a cell modem expansion pack. Each enclosed modem has been pre-

configured to operate on the GSM network. However, before you can begin to use the modem,

you will need to set up a wireless account.

GSM Account Set Up and Activation Process

Follow these steps to set up a wireless account:

•Contact your wireless provider/partner/reseller to obtain an account and/or SIM card.

Since you already have the equipment, and all you need is to set up an account, it is best

to work directly with a cellular service provider, ie; AT&T, T-Mobile, Vodafone, etc.

•When you contact the service agent of the cellular carrier, inform them that you have a

cellular data modem and need to set up data service for this device. Your company may

already have a business account with a cell carrier. If so, you can add the account you

need for this device to your business account.

•You will need to provide the following information when setting up an account:

1. Billing Information and business ID such as your Federal Tax I.D. or VAT number.

2. The wireless services required. You will need to specify that you need data only service.

You do not need voice or messaging service.

3. You may be asked for the modem’s 15-character IMEI number, which can be found

using the CellModemSetup utility when the pack is installed on the handheld.

4. You may be asked to provide the modem’s model number. This number allows the

carrier to verify this modem as one of its approved models.

IMPORTANT The model number that you should provide is the model number of the internal

modem module, and not the model of the handheld computer. The cell modem module is a

MultiTech cellular modem model MTSMC-E.

•The cellular carrier will give you a plastic card that has a smaller break out SIM card.

Installing the Cell Modem and SIM Card

To install the cell modem on the Field PC complete the following

instructions.

1. Power off the handheld by holding down the power button

for a few seconds and select Power Off.

2. Remove the rubber cover from the pack.

The IMSI number is an indication from the SIM card. It is unique to each card. The

above example shows what is displayed when a SIM card is not present.

2. Configuration is not possible if the SIM card is not detected:

If a SIM card has been installed and there is still an error a new SIM card may be

required.

3. If the SIM card is not present or functional, it is still possible to send commands to the

modem.

Cell Modem Operation

Once the cell modem expansion pack has been properly configured and set up, the following

icons can be displayed on the status star:

No SIM Card icon—This icon notifies the user that: a) no SIM card is installed and b) it

will be impossible to create an internet connection using the cell modem until a valid SIM

card is installed.

No Internet Connection icon—This icon is displayed when there is no internet connection

present or if the internet connection has been dropped. There are two ways to (re)establish

an internet connection when the cell modem expansion pack is properly installed and has a valid

SIM card installed:

1) If the application automatically establishes an internet connection (Internet Explorer is one

example of an application that automatically establishes an internet connection, consult with

your application supplier to determine the capabilities of the application), simply run the

application and attempt to access the internet.

2) Go to the connections menu (tap Start > Settings > Connections or tap the No Internet

Connection icon > Settings). Tap Manage Existing Connections, tap and hold Modem connection

until the menu is displayed. Select Connect.

Internet Connection icon—This icon is displayed when an internet connection is present.

Signal Strength icon—This icon is displayed when an internet connection has been

established using the cell modem expansion pack. It contains either the letter E or G and 0 to 4

bars. The E indicates EDGE and the G indicates GPRS. The quality of the cell modem signal and

the data transmission speed is dependent on the number of signal strength bars displayed.

0–1 bar: signal strength is weak and the data transmission speed with be slow.

2–4 bars: signal strength is strong and transmission speed will be faster.

If no bars are displayed, the cell modem can still maintain an internet connection, but may not be

able to transmit any data. It may be necessary to move to another location with better signal

strength in order to send and receive data effectively.

When the Internet Connection icon is displayed, the cell modem expansion pack will

automatically send and receive data once sufficient signal strength is obtained.

When the No Internet Connection icon is displayed, the internet connection has been lost and it

is necessary to reestablish an internet connection before data is sent or received.
