Hardware Overview

The GC79 is a standard 32 bit type II PC card with a 15mm extension which contains the GSM and WLAN antennas. The amount of power drawn from the laptop battery is dependant upon a number of factors including status, frequency band, distance to GSM base station and number of timeslots used. See Technical Specifications on page 63 for a general guide to power consumption. SIM Card When you subscribe to a mobile network operator, you are issued with a SIM card (Subscriber Identity Module card). The SIM contains your personal subscriber data. You need a SIM to use your GC79.

Software Overview

GC79 Manager You can use the GC79 Manager to: View GSM/GPRS and wireless LAN status information Create or modify connection settings Connect to the Internet or a corporate network Manage GC79 settings Manage SIM card and PC phone books Send and receive SMS messages
Using the GC79 with your Applications Data Programs You can use the GC79 as a connector to a wireless LAN access point or to provide Intranet/Internet connectivity for a wide range of applications. The GC79 can also be programmed at command level by application developers; for more details see the AT Commands Manual. Fax Programs You can use the GC79 as a fax provided you have the correct software, e.g. Microsoft Fax (supplied with Windows 2000 and XP).

Documentation

The GC79s documentation is designed to enhance your understanding of its capabilities. The following guides are provided: A printed Quick Start Guide aimed at getting you operational as quickly as possible. An online Users Guide (this document) containing a comprehensive description of the GC79 functionality. You can read the guide on the computer screen or print it on to either European A4 or American Letter sized paper. An online AT Commands Manual, aimed at application developers, containing a full list of all the modem commands that can be used with GC79. The manual can be read online or printed in the same way as the Users Guide.
The Users Guide and the AT Commands Manual are located on the GC79 CD-ROM as Adobe Acrobat PDF files. The GC79 CD-ROM also contains Adobe Acrobat Reader which you can install if necessary. Illustrations The illustrations in this manual were obtained using the GC79 on a Microsoft Windows 2000 operating system. The dialogs that appear on your PC may differ depending on the version of Windows in use.

FCC Statement

Before a modem is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations as required by the FCC for each model. Body worn measurements are made while the product is in use and worn on the body with an Sony Ericsson accessory. The design and composition of an accessory can affect the body worn SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) levels for the modem card. The distance used in the SAR Test Report for this device is 4mm. Sony Ericsson has not measured, and makes no representation about, the body worn SAR levels when the modem card is used with non-Sony Ericsson accessories. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) The device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. FCC-ID: PY7F1021011 IC: 4170B-F1021011

It is strongly recommended that the values are only changed by network administrators or technicians with wireless LAN experience. Item IBSS Channel Number Useful information Selects the independent basic service set (IBSS) channel number on which to operate. The GC79 comes preset for use on channels 1-11. These values are legal in most countries. Some countries allow use on more channels. If you travel to one of these countries, you may change the value for IBSS Channel Number to 12 or 13. Selects the operating characteristics that comply with the regulations that apply in a particular country. Before connecting to a wireless network, you should verify that the Locale value is correct. If you travel to different countries with your GC79, you should change the Locale value to suit. If the destination country is not listed, change the Locale value to Worldwide. Reset the Locale value after returning. Residents of both Canada and the United States should use the value USA. For details of an easier way of changing this value, see GC79 Wireless Control menu on page 15. Radio Enable/ Disable Enables or disables the GC79 wireless LAN radio. This may be necessary necessary at times to turn off the radio to comply with restrictions prohibiting the emission of radio signals, such as during takeoff and landing onboard a commercial aircraft. For details of an easier way of changing this value, see GC79 Wireless Control menu on page 15. Rate Sets the transmission rate. The default value is Use best rate. This automatically adjusts the data rate to the optimal rate based on the capabilities of the other clients and access points. The threshold at which the IEEE 802.11 adapter breaks the packet into multiple frames. This is used to override the MAC address of the GC79 wireless LAN network adapter. This is used to set the header type used for CCK rates. The type can be long, or auto (short / long). Sets the percentage of the maximum available output power to be used.
