2 OVERVIEW
The Novatel Wireless MobiLink™ Communications Software Suite is a family of wireless connectivity
applications that connect mobile devices using wireless wide area networks (WWAN) as well as WiFi and
Ethernet in a single application to allow quick and easy access to email, the Internet and corporate
networks anytime, anywhere. With MobiLink and a wide area wireless device, mobile users can stay
productive and connected to customers and colleagues while out of the office. MobiLink is optimally
engineered to work with all of Novatel Wireless' Merlin™ Family Wireless Modems for best in class 3G
wireless broadband access solutions.
The MobiLink Communications Software Suite of applications contains a messaging client that manages
2 way SMS operations, an addressbook client that manages contacts and phone number, connection
manager that manages the connectivity, and a customization utility to manage and generate install
customization settings. The following section will detail the features of each application.
TITLE: User Interface Document for MobiLink 2.0
3 GENERAL FEATURES
3.1 General User Interface Functions
The first design principle for MobiLink applications is that the basic information and controls needed for
day-to-day operations are quickly and easily accessible while less frequently used functions are located
deeper in the menu system. The user interface is designed to be intuitive to use and will not require a
large learning curve for the average user. The second design principle for MobiLink is to be easily
customizable in order to be able to meet the various requirements of a global market.
3.1.1 Layout
The general layout of the main windows is designed to display important information for connectivity while
making it easy to navigate to other functions. The main function such as mobile status and signal
strength display is shown in the main window. The connection button is prominently displayed and easily
accessible. The main MobiLink display is shown below.
The menu button is located on the left upper corner and contains additional functionality such as settings
and configurations. The menu system is designed as a button that when clicked, shows a drop down list
of other options. Because it’s a drop down list, it allows for expansion of functions as well as reduces the
clutter on the main display.
The Device Links area is an active navigation bar that shows status for all the three types of connections
as well as a clickable area to shift the main display information to the specific type of connection

The Dashboard Area in the layout is designed as a launching area for other applications. The default
applications in the current design are internet browser, SMS client, Addressbook, and Help file. Other
applications can be launched.
The Active Profile Selection is a list that allows for easy access to choose the active profile to use for
connection. For 3G, this list is a list of connection profiles while for WiFi, this is a list of access points
found. For WiFi, this list also shows the signal quality and whether the access point is encrypted.
Lastly, there are the standard minimize and close buttons that are the main stay of any application. The
minimize button hides the application as a tray icon and the close button gracefully closes the application.
3.1.2 Mouse Over
Mouse over is a feature of the application that displays helpful hint about the function of the application as
the mouse is moved over an active area of the application such as the menu button.
3.1.3 Snap to Edge
Snap to edge is a feature that makes the MobiLink application window snap to the sides of the Windows
desktop as the user drags the application close to the edge.
3.1.4 Hot Swapping
The design of MobiLink allows for hot swapping of the 3G device. Users can plug and unplug a 3G
wireless device and MobiLink will automatically recognize the technology and dynamically change the
display to show the relevant information.
3.1.5 Skinning Customization
Due to the software design and the underlying graphics engine used, the main “skin” of MobiLink is
completely customizable. The skin is contained in separate resource files that can be easily changed for
branding or function. Two different designs are shown below and more can be developed.

3.1.6 Localization
It is the intent of the MobiLink™ connection manager design to be able to support localization. Double
byte Unicode is used and all the text used by MobiLink is kept in resource files that can easily be
translated and added. Currently MobiLink supports the following languages:
• Chinese Simplified
• Chinese Traditional
• Danish
• English
• French
• German
• Italian
• Spanish
• Swedish
• Polish

6 Network Name For UMTS/HSDPA, this would show the network
name received from the AT+COPS command
7 Profile List This is the list of supported profiles that contains
the connection settings such as username and
password and QoS for 3G. This is a list of the 3G
profiles for the 3G networks and a list of WiFi
profiles for the WiFi network. The displayed profile
is the active profile.
8 Indicators The indicators are icons that show additional status
of the 3G wireless. Each indicator will be described
below.
9 Connection Type Selection
Bar This is a navigation bar that selects which
connection information is displayed in the main
window. As the connection is selected, the main
window will slide to show the right information.
Each of the connection icons for this navigation bar
also shows the signal strength of the respective
connection.
The connection navigation bar was added to support the universal connection management functionality.

With the 3G Wireless view, connection button can be used to connect to the chosen profile displayed.
The status icons for 3G will be displayed on the top right corner and when connected, byte count and
time displayed will be shown. The vertical bar next to the navigation bar indicates which view is currently
active. When the user clicks on the WiFi navigation button, the WiFi view will be shown.
View #2: WiFi
The WiFi view does not have a connection button since WiFi is a connectionless adaptor. The view does
show signal strength, packet count, and connection time as well as connection status. Since MobiLink’s
WiFi is developed using Windows zero configuration, MobiLink WiFi control can coexist with Windows
wireless network connection. The default hotspot is shown in the selection list in the same place as the
3G profile list. The list of hotspots is dynamically generated based on a WiFi network scan of the area.
Users can chose to make another hotspot active by clicking on the selection list shown below.

Clicking on the “To” button or the Addressbook button will bring up the following dialog to select the
contact to insert into the destination field. Multiple destination addresses can be selected.
4.3.6 Email Interworking
A new feature added to this version of MobiLink is the ability for email interworking. What this feature
does is to allow an email message to be sent over an SMS message. If the user types in an email
address in the To filed, the application will automatically format the SMS message so that the SMSC on
the network side will forward it as an email.
The recipient of this email can simply reply to the message and the message will be forwarded back to
the wireless device.
4.3.7 Concatenated SMS
With the addition of email interworking, the ability to send an SMS that is longer than the limited 160
characters is very important. To address that issue, the SMS client will allow the user to enter a long
message and automatically segment the message and send it as separate SMS with a special tag to
indicates the messages are segments of a long message.
4.4 Addressbook Features
The MobiLink address book allows the management of phone numbers on the SIM, Windows Address
Book and Outlook. The following screen shows the address book client.
