About data transmission
The Nokia D311 PC card employs data transmission capabilities of WLAN and GSM
networks in order to send and receive data, browse the Internet, send short
messages and e-mail, and to establish connections with other computers.
Data connections may be made from most locations where your PC card operates.
However, it is recommended that you move the PC card to a location where the
strongest possible network signal can be obtained. When the signal is strong, data
transmission is more efficient.
Factors that may impair wireless connections:
Interference – Electronic appliances and other equipment can cause radio
interference. Also in areas where PC cards are prevalent, other PC cards can impair
your wireless connection.
You will need the appropriate data and fax communications software on your
computer. The Nokia D311 PC card is compatible with a variety of commercially
available Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows Me, Windows 2000, and
Windows XP compatible data and fax communications applications, such as
Dial-Up Networking and HyperTerminal.
The data and fax applications that reside on your computer must be correctly
configured for use with the Nokia D311 PC card. Follow the instructions given
in the documentation of these applications and remember to select the Nokia
D311 PC card as the modem for each application.
The data transfer and fax functions depend on the applications you have
chosen, and not only on the computer or the Nokia D311 PC card. For
information on how to use an application, please refer to that application's
documentation.
You need to subscribe to the corresponding data and fax services from your
wireless provider. Contact your wireless provider for information about the
availability and details of the services in your home network. Internet access
requires that you have subscribed to the data service and obtained an Internet
access point from your wireless provider.
