Introduction
the option wireless communication managerthe option wireless communication manager
The Wireless Communication Manager simplifies making and
administering voice calls, SMS messaging and the configuration
of GPRS settings for applications such as downloading e-mail or
browsing the Internet.
Compatibility with Microsoft Outlook™ ensures new or updated
address data need only be entered once: during start-up, WCM
creates a WCM Phonebook by copying the current content of
Outlook™. While WCM is in use, addresses in Outlook™ can be
added or edited from within WCM Phonebook.
WCM provides all voice call features found on mobile phones
including registers of calls made and missed. Calls can be made
from Phonebook (based on current Outlook™ data) and a list of
favourites can be selected from Phonebook.
Introduction
The WCM application also incorporates a powerful SMS editor,
message templates, and a viewer for reading SMS messages.
Incoming and outgoing messages are listed in Outlook™-style
directories. The application also offers many other facilities,
including the automatic generation of SMS texts.
The GPRS controller gives users a quick and easy way of defining
GPRS connection settings.

service provider.
Getting Started
Using the GlobeTrotter card for a DATA connection.
Wait for a couple of seconds for the card to be detected.
If you want to use the GPRS/GSM connection features you will
first need to install them, one for the GSM and one for the GPRS
connection.
Click on the GPRS controller icon on your desktop (bottom right
corner) and choose Create a new connection.
Getting Started
If you are using the card for the first time to set up a connection,
you will need to proceed to an automatic detection. You can

Triple-band functionalityTriple-band functionality
The GlobeTrotter card is a triple-band GPRS/GSM card: it operates
in GSM 900, DCS 1800 and PCS 1900 networks.
Automatic selection is supported by the firmware for only two
bands 900/1800 and 900/1900. Switching between frequencies
to be used is done manually. To set the band mode go to the
Voice dialer in the WCM software.
When the dialer is opened the current setting is displayed.
Select the desired frequency. If you are in North America be use
the band mode is set to GSM900/PCS1900.
Getting Started
Singal strength affecting cellular transmissions
You need to be in an area that is covered by a GPRS/GSM network
to use the GlobeTrotter card.
Cellular networks differ from landline networks in many ways.
For example, traffic loads and the strength of radio singals may
vary in a cellular network and cause handovers.
It is recommended that you move the card to a location where
the strongest possible cellular signal can be obtained. When the
signal is strong, cellular transmission is the most efficient.

External antenna cableExternal antenna cable
You can improve the reception and operation range of your
GlobeTrotter card by using the External Antenna. It can be
connected to any triple-band antenne that has a standard FME
antenna connector.
Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
This section points out the basic problems that could occur when
you are installing and using the program. There is a list of
symptoms and possible actions you can take in any of the
following situations below.
Not enough disk space for installation.
There is not enough space to complete the installation on the
selected drive. Select another drive for installation or delete
unnecessary files to free up additional disk space.
If there are several hard disk drives in the system and you decide
to install the program on a drive other than the one where the
Windows system files are located, disk space is required on both
drives. The program will always need to place some files in the
Windows directory.
Troubleshooting
Setup does not accept the target directory.
The program can only be installed on a local drive.
The path to the directory is too long, more than 80 characters.
Select another directory or shorten the names of the
subdirectories.
The GlobeTrotter card cannot be installed or used.
The Interrupt Request (IRQ) resources may be in conflict. Check
the GlobeTrotter resources from Control Panel/System/
Hardware/Device Manager/Modems/GlobeTrotter GPRS PCMCIA
Modem/select Properties/Resources. If there is a resource
conflict, consult the Windows online help on changing the
resource settings.
The GlobeTrotter card is not properly inserted. Make sure that the
PC Card slot of the computer is functioning properly and that the
GlobeTrotterdriver is installed (in Control Panel: Modems).
Troubleshooting
Also make sure that the SIM card has been inserted.
The network signal is weak, and you also suspect
interference from the laptop.
In addition to the regular antenna attached to the GlobeTrotter
card, an external antenna may be used. Attach it to the
GlobeTrotter and the call quality may improve.
