Setting up the APN

Before using GPRS connection in Windows, the APN (Access Point Name) must be added as a modem

initialization command. The following instructions explain how to set up the APN.

ATTENTION

Check the signal strength indicators on the front panel of the OnCell G2111/G2151I Series modem. If the LED

indicators are dark, then the SIM card is not installed properly,

or the modem is not picking up a signal. If only

one bar lights up, the signal is not strong enough for a GPRS connection. Adjust the position of the antenna,

change the location of the installation, or use an optional high

-gain antenna instead.

Make sure

that your SIM card account supports GPRS service. In most regions, you will need to apply with your

mobile service provider to activate the service.

Make sure that the RS

-232 port of the OnCell G2111/G2151I Series modem is connected. For the OnCell

G2151I

, make sure DIP switch 1 is set to ON.

1. From the Control Panel, open Phone and Modem Options. On the Modem tab, click Properties.

2. On the Advanced tab, enter the following in the Extra initialization commands field:

AT+CGDCONT=1,”IP”,”<APN>“

For <APN>, use the correct service for your account, as in this example;

AT+CGDCONT=1,”IP”,”ISP.CINGULAR
