getting started 11
Starting the Option GlobeTrotter card.
Slide the SIM card into the SIM card slot of the Option GlobeTrotter card and insert
the Option GlobeTrotter card into the PC Card slot of your computer. It is recom-
mended to insert the card in the top PCMCIA slot. You may have to enter the PIN
(Personal Identity Number) code if the PIN code request is activated in the SIM card.
The PIN code is usually supplied with the SIM card. If you enter an incorrect PIN
code three times in a row, you will need a PUK (Personal Unblocking Key) code to
unblock the SIM card. If this doesn’t work, contact your service provider.
Using the GlobeTrotter card for SMS and Phonebook management.
During the installation of the GlobeTrotter Mobility Manager software a link is created
in the Startup folder. GlobeTrotter Mobility Manager will subsequently start every time
the computer is turned on. The GlobeTrotter Mobility Manager icon then appears in the
task bar. If the GlobeTrotter Mobility Manager software does not start automatically
when the computer is switched on, or if the GlobeTrotter Mobility Manager program
has been closed in the meantime, it can be started again from the Start menu.
Once the program has started, the PIN code will be
requested (if the PIN code request is activated on the SIM
card) in order to activate the Globetrotter card. The card
will subsequently be registered onto the network.
If the PIN code request has been disabled, the
GlobeTrotter card will be registered on the network as
soon as it is powered on.
At the end of the network registration the GlobeTrotter MM
interface will open and you are ready to start a connection.
getting started

You can read, create, reply, forward and delete an SMS by clicking the icons on the SMS
Message Management Bar, which is located at the bottom of the GlobeTrotter
Mobility Manager SMS Page
The Phone book
The available phonebooks are:
> SIM Phonebook
> Outlook contacts (if Outlook is present)
Contacts are read on the fly, which means that no duplicate phonebooks or synchronization
is necessary. The software will operate directly on the SIM and on the Outlook contacts.
You can edit the name or phone entry in the SIM contacts by right click on the SIM
contacts and select new or by going to ‘File/New/Contact/SIM. Then you get the
following popup window where you can edit your contact.
You can edit the name or phone entry in the Outlook contacts by going to
‘File/New/Contact/Outlook’. Then you get the standard Outlook window to make
a new contact.
You can also create new, cut, copy paste either the SIM contacts or the Outlook

having recognized that a new SMS message had arrived.
The SIM or Outlook address book will be shown when clicking on the respective icon.
By clicking on the Synchronize button (icon with the two arrows) you can synchronize your
Outlook contacts with your GlobeTrotter MM contacts. The Synchronize button will force
GlobeTrotter MM to (re)import the Outlook contacts.This action deletes all the current
contacts held in GlobeTrotter MM. This is useful when you have updated Outlook contacts
independently of GlobeTrotter MM.
getting started
12
The software offers you two possibilities:
> To import an existing profile from the GlobeTrotter Mobility Manager Database.
> To Set up the profile manually
If you choose to import an existing connection, the software will open a dialog window.
You can then select one of the connections to import and this will become available
within GlobeTrotter MM.
getting started 15
Setup
The Setup page allows you to create, edit and configure a GPRS, GSM, UMTS or WLAN
connection.
Once a connection has been defined it can also be started from here.
In the top of the screen you have a list of all available connections.
Using the GlobeTrotter card for a DATA connection
Tip: Most Service Providers use automatic DNS Server assignment. However; if you
can connect but you have trouble opening a webpage we advise you to enter the
DNS settings manually. Please contact your Service Provider to obtain the required
DNS settings.
Depending on your network operator, a GPRS, GSM, UMTS or WLAN connection might
already have been installed. If not, you will have to create a new connection following
the next steps. Click on Setup. Click on New to create a new connection.
getting started
14
In
Name Servers (DNS)
you can specify the DNS if required by your carrier.
In PDP type you can specify the PDP type. You can choose between IP and PPP. If required
by your carrier you have to fill in the address. (Typically the connection is type
IP
).
In
Dial up Network
you can modify the card
settings and the dial properties.
getting started 17
You can ‘Group’ all existing connections by Operator or by Radio Access
Technologies (e.g. GSM, GPRS, 3G, WLAN).
If you select to set up the connection manually, the software offers you three possibilities:
> 3G/GPRS
>GSM
>WLAN
When you set up your 3G/GPRS connection manually right-click on the connection
and select rename. Enter a name for your connection (e.g. “My GPRS connection
with Operator X”) and fill in all the parameters of your GPRS connection. Enter the
GPRS/UMTS settings you received from your provider.
getting started
16
Click Save. You are now ready to start a 3G/GPRS connection!
Setting up a GSM connection is similar to setting up a GPRS connection.
When highlighting a GSM connection, the configuration pane shows different values
compared to the GPRS connection pane.
Click Save. You are now ready to start a 3G/GPRS connection!
Setting up a WLAN connection
Note: This feature is only available on cards supporting WLAN.
getting started 19
In
Internet
you can modify the internet
properties.
In Quality of Service (QoS), you can change the QoS parameters. See the help files
for definitions of the QoS parameters.
CAUTION! Do not change the QoS parameters unless your provider explicitly informs
you to do so.
getting started
18
NOTE: If you are using the profile that has been modified then the changes will not
come into effect until you have stopped the connection and restarted it.
WLAN Settings
This group of settings determines the communication parameters used on the air
interface. Its shown in a separate tab in the WLAN configuration dialogue. If an
authenticated connection to a wireless network is required, additional parameters
are needed that may interact with the parameters described in this section.
> The user may either enter the network name or select it from a list, which was
generated by clicking the Scan button. A network might not broadcast its name
for security reasons and so will not appear in the list, you will need it’s details
from your IT administrator.
> The list of available networks is not updated automatically while this dialogue is
open, you must click “Scan”. While the scan is active a progress dialogue is shown.
getting started 21
Managing Profiles
The configuration dialogue for WLAN profiles works like the configuration dialogue
for GPRS/3G or GSM connections. The user selects the desired profile from the list at
the top and can modify the different parameters in the panes in the middle. Some
common operations are available in the tool bar at the bottom.
> To create a new profile, the user clicks the button “New” at the bottom of the
configuration pane. The user has the option to import an existing WLAN
connection from the GlobeTrotter Mobility Manager Database or to create
a new WLAN connection manually. All settings in a new profile are set to their
default values until changed by you.
> By clicking “Delete” the selected profile is removed from the list. A profile may
be deleted only if it’s not currently being used for communication.
> The user can save any changes to the current pane (including any changes to
other panes) immediately by clicking “Save”. This button is only available when
the data on the current or another pane has been changed.
getting started
20
The check box in the page determines whether the other controls are activated.
If Automatic configuration (DHCP)” is on, the other settings cannot be modified.
In this case the AP configures TCP/IP automatically.
If Automatic configuration (DHCP)” is off, the user can enter values in the other fields of
the page and configure TCP/IP manually. The fields “Static address”,“Network mask”,
“Gateway address”, and “DNS server” have the same meaning as in the Windows system’s
control panel for configuring a TCP/IP connection.
User Information
For WLAN networks that require user authentication you must define the user data within
the WLAN profile. The same information is used by all the supported authentication
methods. Additional WLAN profiles should be created if you want alternative user data.
> The user enters his data in the dialogue shown below. User data is only used
when authentication takes place. However, these settings can be entered even
if the currently selected authentication method does not use them.
getting started 23
Once the scan for networks is complete, all networks found are added to the pop-
up menu of available networks. For each network the following information is
shown: > Name of network
> Signal strength
> Selecting a network from the pop-up menu assigns the network’s name as well as
the network mode and the communication channel for point-to-point networks.
TCP/IP Settings
If a connection to an AP is established (including any authentication), the device uses the
TCP/IP protocol for accessing other machines over the WLAN connection. This group of
settings is shown in a separate tab on the configuration.
getting started
22
Authentication
Especially on wireless networks it is easy to gain physical access to the network.
Hence it is important to make sure that only the intended group of people is able
to use the network and any resources attached to it. The identity of the users has
to be checked and this is called authentication.
>
Different authentication methods (including “no authentication”) are supported.
Each method requires different authentication parameters. The user’s credentials
are taken from the corresponding page (see “User Information”) and are not specific
to a particular method of authentication. If the user selects a different method of
authentication, the user’s personal data are reused without resetting or changing it.
>
Communication over the air interface is usually encrypted. For some authentication
methods encryption of network traffic is required and cannot be turned off.
If such an authentication method is selected, the appropriate encryption method
is activated as well.
> The supported methods of authentication are “Open”,“Shared”,“WPA-PSK”, and “WPA.
> The method of encryption is selected from a drop down list (e.g. None, WEP, TKIP,
and AES). This list is only available when it is allowed for by the selected method
of authentication. The dependencies between authentication method and
encryption scheme are shown here:
getting started 25
> The field for entering a user name holds the user’s account name used for logging
into the wireless network. This usually different from the user’s real name
(e.g. “jdoe17” vs.John Doe”). For a new profile the user name is set initially to the
account name of the current user.
> There are two fields for setting a password in a profile. The first determines
whether the password is contained in the profile or taken from the user’s
account information. Its possible values are “Prompt for password” and
“Use password”. The field for entering a password and the corresponding
check box are active only when “Use password” is selected.
> The field for the password does not show the password in clear text but as
a sequence of asterisks. As long as “Clear text” is checked, the password is
displayed in clear text. The check box is initially not marked.
> The field for the user’s certificate displays the “friendly name” of the certificate
selected by the user. This field is initially empty (i.e. no certificate is preselected).
A certificate is selected in the dialogue shown below. This list of certificates
shows all certificates for the current user. The list contains only usable
certificates, i.e. expired or invalid certificates are not shown.
getting started
24
while WPA-PSK is more secure without the need for a dedicated authentication server.
WPA
On the WPA settings pane, the user selects the method of authentication used when
the device communicates with a RADIUS server. RADIUS servers are typically used in a
corporate environment.
> The method of authentication is selected from the “Main Protocol” pop-up menu.
The following bullets describe in more detail additional parameters that might
be necessary for the different methods:
-EAP/LEAP This protocol does not use any additional parameters.
-
EAP/PEAP This protocol uses certificates for authentication. By setting the appropriate
check box, the user may request a verification of the server’s certificate.
-
EAP/SIM This protocol does not use any additional parameters. The user’s SIM
must be present when he wants to attach to a WLAN network. Usually
the user enters the SIM-PIN when the main application is started.
If the user did not enter the SIM-PIN when the main application started,
the main application prompts the user for the SIM-PIN using the usual
dialog for entering a SIM. The main application can simply check whether
the SIM-PIN is needed when the user tries to open a connection with
EAP/SIM as its authentication method and prompt the users as appropriate.
-EAP/TokenCard This protocol does not need any additional parameters.
-EAP/TLS This protocol uses certificates for authentication. The user must select
a personal certificate for this method to work. If there is no certificate selected,
this triggers a warning. The only additional parameter for this method is
whether the server’s certificate should be verified.
-EAP/TLS This protocol uses a certificate for authentication.
All connections can be started from the GlobeTrotter MM controller icon in the taskbar.
getting started 27
Open
Open authentication lets users attach to networks quickly as there is no access
control and encryption may be turned off. The amount of configuration is therefore
minimal. This mode is ideal for an ad-hoc network created for instance during a
meeting to exchange data or collaborate on a document. If encryption is set to
“None”, the files for entering WEP keys are hidden.
Shared
Shared authentication using WEP encryption provides weak security. If this method
has been selected, the user can either enter four shared keys. You can choose if you
want a 40(64) bit [equivalent to 10 hexadecimal or 5 ASCII characters] or 104 (128)
bit [equivalent to 26 hexadecimal or 13 ASCII characters] WEP key.
> The user can enter up to four different WEP keys. All entered keys must be of
the same length or the configuration is invalid. If the configuration is invalid,
the triggers a warning.
> The user can enter a key either as a sequence of hexadecimal digits or as a string
of characters as defined by the format buttons above the key fields.
> As long as the user enters a key and the key’s length is not correct, an appropriate
warning is shown.
WPA-PSK
If the user selects authentication via WPA-PSK, he has to enter a so-called
pre-shared key. Such keys contain between 8 and 63 characters. The user may
enter these characters in an appropriate password field. The text of the key is
shown masked unless the check box “Clear text” is turned on.
Note WPA-PSK is a stronger encryption method than WEP, users are advised to use
WPA-PSK whenever possible. The amount of configuration is essentially the same
getting started
26
Start a connection
A connection can be started from:
> The connect button in one of the GlobeTrotter MM connectivity tabs
> From the Windows icon tray controller > right-click > ”Connect using” for every
available connection
> From the Windows icon tray controller > left-click > ”Connect” for the default

This section points out the basic problems that could occur when you are installing
and using the card. 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.
Setup does not accept the target directory.
The program can only be installed on a local drive. If the path to the directory is
greater than 80 characters, it will not be accepted. 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.
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 or the computer is functioning properly and that
the GlobeTrotter drivers are installed (In Control Panel > Ports).
Also make sure that the SIM card has been inserted.
