Answer
What you will need before you start:
- Unsecured Bluetooth enabled mobile phone with DUN (Dial-up Networking) capability
- A digital data-plan (tethering) with your mobile phone network provider – digital phone coverage is not enough
Your mobile phone network provider should be able to provide you with the specific connection details which may include:
- A mobile phone network provider access username and password
- The mobile phone network provider access point name (APN)
- The “Phone Number” required to establish a connection
If the network provider requires a modem “dial string”, user may also require:
- The Trimble Dial-String Editor application
- The custom dial string for your phone to access mobile phone network provider
Note: many phones/ network providers do not require a dial string to establish an Internet connection.
