Description of data settings
Introduction
There are several data parameters that can be set up in the web interface. This section gives an
overview of these parameters.
APN (Access Point Name)
The APN is used by the EXPLORER 500 user to establish the connection to the required destination
network. This means that the EXPLORER 500 must know the APN in order to be able to connect to
the destination network.
APNs are provided from the Airtime Provider. They may also be defined on the SIM card.
Header compression
The Header of a data packet contains control information belonging to that packet. The
information in the Header can take up a considerable amount of bandwidth. In order to save
bandwidth, you can use Header Compression, meaning you compress the header information,
leaving some of the information out.
You can select whether or not to use Header Compression for your data transmission.
•
Header Compression enabled
: Recommended for low-noise applications.
If you select Header Compression enabled, you will be using less bandwidth on header
Note
The USB interface cannot be disabled; it is always enabled.
