●
This manual assumes that you use the FOMA USB Cable
with Charge Function 01 (optional).
●
Purchase the exclusive “FOMA USB Cable with Charge
Function 01” or “FOMA USB Cable”. A generic USB cable
for a PC connection cannot be used because it has a
different connector shape.
●
If you use USB HUB, it may not work properly.

Administrator
An administrator is authorized access to all Windows XP,
Windows 2000 Professional, and Windows Vista systems.
At least one user with Administrator privilege is set for each
PC. Normally, a user without Administrator privilege cannot
install the FOMA communication configuration files. For more
information on Administrator privilege, contact the manufacturer
of your PC or a representative of Microsoft Corporation.
●
APN (Access Point Name)
A character string used for identifying the Internet service
provider host or in-house LAN for packet communication. For
example, the APN of “mopera U” is “mopera.net”.
●
cid (Context Identifier)
A registration number available when you save a packet
communication host (APN) in the FOMA terminal. You can
save up to 10 numbers from one to 10 for the FOMA terminal.

“
通信設定最適化
” is a “TCP parameter setting” tool that makes
optimal use of TCP/IP transmission capabilities for packet
communication on the FOMA network. To make the most of the
communication performance of the FOMA terminal, you need
to configure the communication settings using this software.
