Attached When your Merlin XU870 has found a cellular
network and has registered to it, the LED will
flash (see page 47). In this state you can send
and receive SMS. However, to pass data (i.e.,
surf the web or check your email), you must be
connected.
APN Access Point Name. Provides routing information
for GPRS. The APN consists of two parts; the
Network ID, which identifies the external service
requested by a user of the GPRS service, and the
Operator ID, which specifies routing
information.
bps Bits per second rate of data flow.
Broadband Highcapacity highspeed, transmission channel
with a wider bandwidth than conventional
copper telephone lines. Broadband channels can
carry video, voice, and data simultaneously.
Connected To connect to the cellular network you require
an APN. You might also require a user name
and password, depending on your service
provider. Once you are connected, you can pass
data (i.e., surf the web or check your email).
