3 Services and Applications
3.1 Packet Data Service
The E392 supports the PS domain data service based on LTE/HSPA+/UMTS
/EDGE/GPRS
After you connect the E392 to a PC with the USB interface, the E392 driver and the
client software are installed on the PC automatically. DualAPN is supported in LTE
mode.A defaultAPN will be used at initial attach to LTE. The otherAPN is use like
normalAPN in 2G/3G. You can configureAPN through the E392 application (or
directly use the default settings) and set up a network connection. Then you can send
or receive E-mail, access the network through wireless connection, and download
files through wireless data channels.
To use the data service, perform the following steps:
1. Enter *99# or *98# to launch the packet data service.
2. In the Choose Connection Type dropdown box, choose a network type.
3.2 SMS
The E392 supports message writing/sending/receiving and group sending on
GSM/EGDE/UMTS network. As long as SMS over SGs is not activated for LTE, so no
messages can be sent/or received on LTE, and the messages can only be stored. You
can manage messages through the dashboard, such as sorting the messages by
telephone number or time.
