8.2.2 Connection to Network using GPRS/EDGE/HSPA Modem
Note 1: Turn off the analyzer when connecting the analyzer to a modem.
Note 2: The SIM card account should include a data subscription and should be usable without
a pincode.
To use the modem you need to set up the parameters in Dialup Networking (listed below) and
set the Modem parameter to GPRS/EDGE/HSPA Dialup.
Parameters in Dialup Networking:
• APN (Access Point Name) is an identifier required by the network operator. Examples are
Internet, public and www.vodaphone.de
• Username, Password and possibly Domain should be set as required by the network
operator
When the Modem parameter is set to GPRS/EDGE/HSPA Dialup, then a connection is made
using the settings in Dialup Networking. The Status parameter reflects the current status of the
network connection – for example, ‘Connected’ or ‘Disconnected’. If the connection fails, then
the analyzer will try to reconnect – until it succeeds, or the Modem parameter is set to
Disabled.
If the connection succeeds, then the analyzer will automatically get an IP address, which is
readable (but not accessible) in Network Settings – for more details see section 8.3.
The IP address is the address on the WAN (Wide Area Network) or Internet. Use this address in
BZ-5503 or an Internet browser to connect to the analyzer.
Note: In some cases you might be able to get a static IP address from the network operator,
which means that the analyzer will always have the same IP address when connected to the
network. However, typically the IP address will be renewed each time the analyzer connects to
the network. In order to deal with this, in BZ-5503 or via an Internet browser you need to use
DynDNS – see section 8.2.3.
