The information below summarizes the most common problems with GPRS service and provides tips to prevent or overcome them.
| 1. Connecting your handset to the computer (please see the option which applies to you) | |
|---|---|
| Serial cable connection | Always use the cable recommended by the telephone manufacturer.If you use third party cable, make sure it is compatible with your handset before purchase. |
| USB cable connection | Remember to install the USB cable software (supplied with the cable) before you install web'n'walk Manager software. |
| Bluetooth connection | Make sure you install the Bluetooth connection first (using software supplied with computer or the connecting device) and pair your computer with handset.If you encounter any problems when pairing the devices, please refer to Bluetooth device manual or contact your Bluetooth vendor. |
| Infrared connection | If you haven’t used the infrared port before, check whether it is installed properly (it should be visible in the Device Manager in Windows).It is recommended to avoid connecting your handset with the infrared port before installing the web'n'walk Manager software. In some cases, Windows would automatically install generic modem drivers, which would not be suitable for your terminal. |
| Important: Install the web'n'walk Manager only after you have set-up the connection between your computer and handset. | |
| 2. Installing web'n'walk Manager software (setup of modem and Internet connection) | |
|---|---|
| Installing your handset as GPRS modem |
Please note: Some handset models not sold through the T-Mobile distribution are not supported by wnw Manager. For those handset models, as well as for non-Windows systems, please setup the connection manually using instructions found at the end of this document. |
| Nokia handsets | Enter the APN name in terminal’s menu. The path to this setting varies at different terminals, it can be either:§ Menu > Settings > GPRS modem settings > Edit active access point > GPRS access point > Edit active access pointor§ Menu > Connectivity > GPRS > GPRS modem settings > Active access point > Access point 1 > Edit active access point > GPRS access pointOnce you have reached the APN name setting, change it to: internet.t-mobile.cz . |
| MDA II organizer | If you want to use MDA II as GPRS modem with your PC, you have to disable ActiveSync first by selecting the follow:Connection Settings > Allow USB connection Then unselect the checkbox „Allow USB connection with this desktop computer“. |
| E-mail client setup parameters | To retrieve your e-mails from any IMAP/POP3 e-mail service, enter the following to tour e-mail client:IMAP/POP3 server for incoming mail: depends on your e-mail service (plesse check with your e-mail service provider).SMTP server for outgoing mail: smtp.t-email.cz Please note: You cannot use this SMTP server to send e-mail when connected to Internet through other ISP than T-Mobile. For example, if you use a laptop connected sometimes via GPRS and sometimes via your office LAN, you need either to change the SMTP server name at each occasion, or use SMTP autentication. Please contact your system administrator to explore the latter option. |
General error types
The possible causes of GPRS problems fall into two broad categories: terminal/PC settings and GPRS network.
| Terminal/PC connection and settings | Examples of this category include malfunctioning cable, improperly installed modem driver, improperly paired Bluetooth etc.Troubleshooting modem problems is easier with modem diagnostics provided in Windows “Phone and Modem Options” control panel. The diagnostics queries the modem (i.e. GPRS-enabled handset or other terminal) and if there’s no answer, you need to check all possible causes of improper connection between the terminal and your PC. You can reach the modem diagnostics here:Start > Control Panel > Phone and Modem Options > Modems > choose the respective terminal (i.e. Option Globetrotter PC Card) > Properties > Diagnostics > Query Modem |
| GPRS network problems | You should focus on this area in case you have trouble connecting to GPRS, but modem diagnostics in GPRS works correctly. |
