REFERENCE MANUAL
1. INTRODUCTION TO GLOBESURFER
®
II
Within minutes, you can connect to your mobile network and use a wireless connection to the Internet through the mobile network.
GlobeSurfer
®
II is compatible with GSM and 3G mobile networks and supports GPRS, EDGE, UMTS and HSDPA technologies.
Tip:
To achieve the best possible reception, check the signal strength on the display of the unit (the more bars the better the reception). You
may find that placing the unit near a window provides the best reception.
Simple set-up
GlobeSurfer
®
II provides you with a quick installation and set-up that gets you easily and quickly connected to the Internet. You can use an
Internet browser (e.g. Microsoft
®
Internet Explorer 6.0 or Firefox
®
1.5) and most personal computers, including Windows
®
, Macintosh
®
and
Linux. The ‘Quick Setup Wizard’ introduces you to the basic settings that need to be configured for use with the mobile network. Once you
have configured, you can review and enable customised wireless security settings.
Instant protection
Your GlobeSurfer
®
II supports Network Address Translation (NAT). This network service hides the computers in your network so they cannot be
found or directly accessed from outside your network. A firewall is also included which, by default, blocks incoming traffic and allows outgoing
traffic.
Additional security
GlobeSurfer
®
II supports both Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA and WPA2) to protect your network data.
Security logs keep you aware of potential security risks and intrusion attempts. You can view logs online or via email.
Stay in touch
You can use GlobeSurfer
®
II to send and receive SMS text messages. The display on the front of the unit lets you know when a new SMS
arrives. You can use GlobeSurfer
®
II to make mobile phone calls. When you get a phone call the display shows the caller’s number and
indicates missed calls.
Important note
To protect your network from unauthorised access, and to make it more difficult for hackers to analyse your data, please configure the WLAN
security settings and enable WEP, WPA or WPA2 encryption on your GlobeSurfer
®
II.
