System Requirements
This section lists the network subscriptions, hardware and software requirements for running
the GC82 PC Card.
Network and Subscription
The network subscription you use in conjunction with your GC82 depends on the subscriptions your
network operator can provide. Contact your network operator or service provider to make sure the
options you require are available. Make sure that data options are included in your subscription,
as these are usually optional services.
Note:
Mobile operators often provide a number of connectivity options via GPRS such as WAP and
Internet, so check that the Internet or VPN service you require is enabled for your subscription.
The functionality of the different subscriptions available from networks operators are
discussed below:
Circuit Switched Data (CSD)
CSD is the original GSM network data transfer method, used in the past for WAP. Almost all GSM
networks have this capability at 9.6 kbps. It is possible for the network to upgrade the speed
to 14.4 kbps. The GC82 operates at this higher speed where available.
General Packet Radio Service (GPRS)
GPRS is a new network connection which provides “always on” mobility. The connection set up
is fast and, once connected, applications may send and receive data whenever required. In today’s
GPRS networks, the GC82 receives data at speeds up to 53.6 kbps and transmits at speeds
up to 26.8 kbps.
Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution (EDGE)
EDGE enhances GPRS by increasing data throughput by a factor of 3. GPRS networks enhanced
with EDGE are often referred to as E-GPRS (Enhanced GPRS) networks. EDGE provides the
“always on” capability of GPRS but with greater speed. EDGE technology is transparent, simply
Getting Started
make a GPRS connection as usual and benefit from the increase in speed where EDGE is available
in a network.

Windows Log on Using GPRS/EDGE Dial-up Connection
The GC82 PC Card supports the Windows Log on using dial-up connection feature.
To log on to Windows using a dial-up connection the GC82 PC Card must be inserted and the radio
enabled before you log on. To enable the radio prior to logon, select Enable radio immediately
when card inserted checkbox on the Radio Power preferences tab, see Radio Power Tab
on page 15 for more details.
,PSRUWDQW
Never start your PC in this mode if you are in a location where mobile devices shouldn’t
be used, for example, on an aeroplane, in hospital or near a blast site.
Only check this option if you need to log on to a Windows Domain via a wireless dial-up connection.
This will permit the GC82 to register with the network and establish a connection when the Windows
logon screen is displayed.
Note:
It is not possible to display network status or signal strength during the Windows logon
procedure, so you should allow enough time for the GC82 to find and register with the wireless
network prior to attempting to log on.
The dial-up connections available to the Windows Logon must have been created by a user account
with Administrator privilege and designated For all users. This must be done using the Windows
Network Connection Wizard, because the GC82 Manager can only create connections for the
current user ID.
Normally the Windows Logon using dial-up connection will be using a CSD session to a corporate
network, so that the logon credentials can be validated by a Windows Domain Server.
There may be special circumstances where a GPRS dial-up connection is required for logon.
To create a GPRS dial-up connection, follow these steps:
1. Create the Windows dial-up connection using the Windows Network Connection Wizard.
For the telephone number, use *99***3#.
2. Set the GPRS context parameters in the GC82 PC Card using the following AT commands.
Type the AT Commands into the Windows Hyperterminal program.
AT+CGDCONT=3,“IP”,“”,“”,0,0

TCP/IP Optimisation
To take full advantage of the high bandwidth of the GC82, the TCP/IP packet size should be changed
from the default Windows setting of 16k for Windows 2000, or 64k for Windows XP. Sony Ericsson
recommends a TCP/IP packet size of 52k for optimum performance with the PC Card.
The Windows Registry parameter to be changed is ‘TCPwindowsize’, at the registry location:
HKEY_Local_Machine\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\
The required ‘TCPwindowsize’ entry is:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\
However, a PC that has not previously had its TCP/IP packet size changed from the original default
value will not have a ‘TCPwindowsize’ parameter entry, and thus a new entry must be created.
Caution!
This setting affects all network adapters in the PC and therefore should only be changed by
experienced users.

48
Additional Information
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment, for example equipment in hospitals and cars, is shielded from
RF energy. However, certain electronic equipment is not, therefore:
Do not use your GC82 near medical equipment without requesting permission.
The GC82 may affect the operation of some implanted cardiac pacemakers and other medically
implanted equipment. Pacemaker patients should be aware that the use of a GC82 very close to a
pacemaker might cause the device to malfunction. Avoid placing the GC82 over the pacemaker. If
a minimum distance of 15 cm (6’’ inches) is kept between the GC82 and the pacemaker, the risk of
interference is limited. If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place,
immediately turn off your GC82. Contact your cardiologist for more information.
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine
if it is adequately shielded from external RF energy.
Turn your GC82 off in any facility where posted notices so require.
Aircraft
You MUST remove your GC82 before boarding any aircraft.
To prevent interference with communication systems and abide by the law, you must not use your
GC82 while the plane is in the air.
Do not use it on the ground without permission from the crew.
Blasting Areas
Turn off your GC82 when in a blasting area or in areas posted turn off two -way radio to avoid
interfering with blasting operations. Construction crews often use remote control RF devices to set
off explosives.
Explosive Atmospheres
Turn off your GC82 when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but your
GC82 could generate sparks. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in
bodily injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. They
include fuelling areas, below deck on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas
where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders.
Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or explosives in the compartment of your vehicle,
which contains your GC82 and accessories.
Inserting and removing the SIM card – precautions against electrostatic discharge (ESD)
Do not touch the SIM card connectors. As a precaution, always make sure that the GC82 is already
in your hand before you insert or remove the SIM card.
Radio wave exposure and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) information
This PC card modem is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is turned on, it emits
low levels of radio frequency energy (also known as radio waves or radio frequency fields).
Governments around the world have adopted comprehensive international safety guidelines,
developed by scientific organizations, e.g. ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing
Radiation Protection) and IEEE (The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.), through
periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. These guidelines establish permitted levels
Additional Information
49
of radio wave exposure for the general population. The levels include a safety margin designed to
assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health, and to account for any variations in
measurements.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of measurement for the amount of radio frequency
energy absorbed by the body when using a low-power radio transceiver designed for body worn or
head held use. The SAR value is determined at the highest certified power level in laboratory
conditions, but the actual SAR level of the low-power radio transceiver while operating can be well
below this value. This is because the low-power radio transceiver is designed to use the minimum
power required to reach the network.
Variations in SAR below the radio frequency exposure guidelines do not mean that there are
variations in safety. While there may be differences in SAR levels among PC card modems, all
Sony Ericsson PC card modem models are designed to meet radio frequency exposure guidelines.
Before a PC card 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.
For body worn operation, this PC card modem has been tested and meets FCC RF exposure
guidelines for fixed and mobile use when the PC card modem is installed in a PCMCIA card slot of
a standard Laptop PC with the original antenna.
Sony Ericsson has not measured, and makes no representation about, the body worn SAR levels
when the modem card is used in any portable host equipment or when any changes to the original
product has been made.

Bearer
capability:
CSD or GPRS?
You will need to know the bearer capability provided by your service
provider, so you can select the appropriate option during set up.
CSD Network
Speed
If you intend to create connections via CSD contact your network operator
and check the supported speeds.
Username
The username your service provider gave you when the account was set
up. Some dial-up accounts do not require a Username, in this case leave
the field blank.
Password
Password associated with the username, given to you by the service
provider. Some dial-up accounts do not require a Password, in this case

IP assignment:
Server / Static
An ‘address’ that the service provider knows you by and uses to route
information to and from your GC82. Your IP address will either be:
Server - assigned by the service provider when you connect.
Static - assigned once by the service provider or the IT Manager.
If your IP address is Static you must enter it into Own IP address fields
which is available when you select Details in the Connection APN dialog.
DNS
assignment:
Server / Static
This tells the GC82 where to find the service provider’s DNS Service.
DNS translates addresses such as www.sonyericsson.com to the numeric
IP address so that the information can be accessed.
Like IP assignment above, the DNS can be static or allocated by the
service provider when you connect. If static is selected additional fields
need to be completed containing the static information.
Own IP address
Only required if the IP assignment is static.
Format example: 123.9.45.3.
Do not enter any leading 0s when typing in IP address.
Primary DNS
Only required if the DNS assignment is static.
