Using the FOMA PC configuration software
FOMA PC configuration software
In order to enable packet communication or 64K data communication on the FOMA terminal
connected to your PC, you must complete various setup procedures. The FOMA PC
configuration software allows you to easily perform the following settings.
z
Easy setup
The program guides you through the steps for "creating a dialup connection for FOMA data
communication" and performs "W-TCP setup" automatically at the same time.
z
W-TCP setup
This function optimizes the settings in the PC required for "FOMA packet communication".
Optimization of the communication settings using "W-TCP setup" is required to enable full
use of the communication capabilities.
z
Dialup connections (APN) setup
This function performs "dialup connection (APN) setup" required for "packet
communication".
Unlike 64K data communication, phone numbers cannot be used as a dialup connection for
FOMA packet communication. Register a dialup connection name called APN (Access Point
Name) in the FOMA terminal for each dialup connection and enter the registration number
(cid) in the dialup connection phone number field. APN "mopera.ne.jp" is registered in cid 1
by default to connect to "mopera", but the APN for connections to other providers and
company LAN must be set.
cid [Context Identifier]: . . .a number for a dialup connection (APN) used in packet
communication. This number is used for registering an APN in a
FOMA terminal.

Packet communication and 64K data communication can also be set up without using the
