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
recommended 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 a DATA connection
Caution! Some Service Providers use automatic DNS Server assignment.
However if you can connect but 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 or GSM connection might already
have been installed. If not, you will have to create a new connection following the
next steps. Click on GSM GPRS folder. Click on New to create a new connection.

When you set up your 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 settings you received from your provider.
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
tells you to do it.

Using the GlobeTrotter card for SMS, Voice 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 in the Start menu.
Once the program has started, the PIN code will be
requested (if the PIN code request is activated on the
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.
At the end of the network registration the interface will open and the connec-
tion will start

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 addi-
tional 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
over 80 characters, it will not be accepted. Select another directory or shorten
the names of the subdirectories.
