Technical Description and User Guide F3307 1 About this Document 1.1 Purpose This user guide for F3307 gives the reader a deeper technical understanding of the features, applications and configuration of F3307. A simplified technical explanation of GSM/GPRS/EDGE and UMTS/HSPA data services is also included in this document. 1.
Technical Description and User Guide F3307 2 Product Overview F3307 is a PCI Express Full-Mini Card Mobile Broadband Module for UMTS and GSM, which enables notebook users to have flexible and high speed mobile access to the Internet or corporate network, including “always online”’ capability. It supports data services through HSPA, UMTS, EDGE, GPRS, and Data message service. New versions of the PC application software, drivers and module firmware can be installed by the end user.
Technical Description and User Guide F3307 With the F3307 Mobile Broadband Module installed in a notebook computer, it is always available for data transfer -the F3307 does not support voice calls. Connection settings are automatically created based on the SIM card. Parameter sets suitable for many networks are included and the module can, if needed, be set up to facilitate manual configuration where required. The user can simply click the “Connect” button to make an Internet connection.
Technical Description and User Guide F3307 Compared to 2G mobile networks, 3G significantly boosts network capacity, a much needed feature in densely populated areas. This means that operators are able to support more users and offer them more sophisticated services. 3.1.1.1 HSPA HSPA (High Speed Packet Access) is available in all developed UMTS markets. With its HSDPA solution, F3307 is capable of downlink-speeds of up to 7.2 Mbps.
Technical Description and User Guide F3307 3.2 Core Features 3.2.1 Browsing and Internet Access F3307 supports standard Internet connections using a Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS) “Wireless WAN” adaptor. It is possible to use the Internet or intranet with a generic browser. A common e-mail solution is to use an Internet connection and Transport Layer Security (TLS) to browse corporate e-mail via a web interface.
Technical Description and User Guide F3307 4 Hardware Overview 4.1 General F3307 is a full-size, type F2 mini card, built according to the PCI express mini card specifications, see chapter 6, Related Information and references. F3307 is an integrated solution using the antenna system and UICC reader of the host device.
Technical Description and User Guide F3307 All components except the antenna connectors are covered by EMC shields. All power and baseband communication is routed through the edge connector of the card. The fastening holes in the upper corners are connected to ground. 4.2 Dimensions The card follows the PCIe specification for type F2 cards. The type F2 is designed to fit into a full-size Mini card slot or into two half-size Mini card slots.

Technical Description and User Guide F3307 5 Software Overview Note: The appearance of the windows can be modified to fit customer and operator needs. The illustrations in this chapter show windows for the generic application for Microsoft Windows. The PC software architecture consists of drivers, a Windows service, APIs and two applications: ! Wireless Manager (WM) to manage the Mobile Broadband connection. ! SMS utility, used to send and receive text messages.
Technical Description and User Guide F3307 5.1 Installation Procedure Installation follows normal Windows procedures. Microsoft .NETTM 3.5 SP1 or later needs to be installed on the machine. If missing, a prompt will inform the user during the installation process to install the .NET Framework. The installation can be done both in interactive and silent mode to enable installation without user interaction. 5.
Technical Description and User Guide F3307 5.2.1 Status Display The main window of the Wireless Manager provides network and connection information. Wireless Manager can be customized to show logotypes of operators or device manufacturers in the main window. Connection duration, connection mode, volume of data and an indication of the signal strength are provided in the Wireless Manager window while connection is active. The figures provide an approximate checkpoint of the data volumes.
Technical Description and User Guide F3307 If the operator settings are not available or a personalized (company-specific) APN is to be used, the information may be entered manually. Any number of profiles, including settings for Access Point Name, Username and Password may be defined. Quality of Service parameters are set to “network default”. 5.2.2.2 Connection Operation No user interaction is required to set the speed of the connection.
Technical Description and User Guide F3307 5.3 SMS Utility Text messages can be sent and received with the SMS Utility. Concatenation is supported, so messages longer than 160 (dependent on character coding) characters can be sent and received. The phonebook is an integrated part of the application and messages can be sent using a phonebook contact. 5.
