for Nokia 9290 Communicator before installing this program.
This upgrade program enables you to move your contact
data (phone book), and calendar from the Nokia 5100,
6100, 7100, 8200, 8800 series GSM phones and the Nokia
9110 Communicator to the Nokia 9290 Communicator. The
upgrade software is supplied on the CD-ROM of the Nokia
9290 Communicator sales package.
.3 Multimedia converter
With Multimedia converter you can convert common video
file formats to NIM format playable on the Nokia 9290
Communicator. When converting a video file, the size of the
converted file is usually much smaller than the size of
the original file.
You can also convert common audio file formats to WAV
format and optimize existing WAV format sound files for
use on the Nokia 9290 Communicator. You can use converted
WAV files as ringing tones, for example.
Multimedia converter runs on the 32-bit Microsoft
Windows operating system (95, 98, Me, NT4, and 2000).
It is included on the CD-ROM of the sales package.
You can use the Nokia 9290 PC Suite for Nokia 9290
Communicator to copy converted files to your Nokia 9290
Communicator via a serial cable or an infrared (IR) connec-
tion. You can also store video clips directly to a memory card,
if you have an appropriate peripheral installed in your com-
puter. NIM files can also be stored on a Web server and
referred from an TML page. This enables users to down-
load NIM files into the Nokia 9290 Communicator.
Multimedia converter supports most files that you can
play in Windows Media Player. The exact set of supported
files depends on the version of Media Player installed in
your system and on the installed audio and video codecs.
Typically, Multimedia converter is able to support most AVI,
WAV, MPG, and MP3 files.
Note: You can play a NIM file on your PC using Multimedia
converter only.
. Nokia 9290 Administrator Suite
Nokia 9290 Administrator Suite is an additional PC software
that is targeted to retailers and corporate IT personnel. It
features Nokia 9290 Communicator setting, file, and appli-
cation delivery to the Nokia 9290 Communicator. The Nokia
9290 Administrator Suite is supplied on the CD-ROM in the
Nokia 9290 Communicator sales package.
It is possible to transfer the configurations to the Nokia
9290 Communicator either by connecting the Nokia 9290
Communicator to the PC where the Nokia 9290 Administrator
Suite is locally or remotely. In the user interface of the
Nokia 9290 Administrator Suite it is possible to create a
whole selection of different settings, applications, etc. and
transfer that set to one or several Nokia 9290 Communicators.
This makes it possible to easily administer several Nokia
9290 Communicators from one service point.
The following settings can be configured:
•IAP settings
•E-mail settings
•WAP settings
•SMS settings
It is also possible to transfer/install:
•WWW bookmarks
•WAP bookmarks
•Voice and fax mailbox numbers
•Files
•Applications/software
In short, the Nokia 9290 Administrator Suite will help
company administrators to offer a standard Nokia 9290
Communicator software and setting package to their users.

AND DATA SERVICES

options

5.1 Introduction
Before you can start to use the Nokia 9290 Communicator
data features efficiently, you have to check the following
information from your GSM carrier:
•The cellular network that you use must support
data calls
•Data service must be activated for your SIM card
•Before you can use SCSD data, check with your
carrier to see whether it is supported
5.2 Data call and high-speed
data options
Data call options can be handled in Internet settings.
Under Advanced settings; Connection type, Remote modem
type and other data call related information could be found
and edited.
Connection type gives two alternatives for the connection
type. The default for every IAP (Internet Access Point) is
“Normal,” which stands for normal single time slot GSM
data call. The connection speed can be either 9600 or
14400 bps, and in addition for analog calls autobauding is
the third speed option. “ igh speed” selects the igh Speed
Circuit Switched Data ( SCSD) call. igher transfer speeds
are achieved by reserving multiple GSM time slots for
single user.
Note: The 14400 bps speed for normal GSM data call and
HSCSD services are not basic GSM data services. These
services may not be available in all networks in all areas,
and they may require a separate subscription. If the network
does not support the call type, or it has not been enabled in
the user’s subscription, the data call may fail. Even the basic
data call services may need to be subscribed to separately.
Remote modem type defines the connection method to
be used. There are three alternatives available: Analog (for
normal modems), ISDN V.110, and ISDN V.120. The GSM
network and the remote access server or dial-in modem
pool must support the selected connection method; other-
wise, the connection attempt will fail.
Note: nalog (normal modem) connections are usually
supported in all networks. The connection time (before
the data call is established) is about 40 seconds for analog
connections and 15 seconds for ISDN connections1.
Maximum data speeds are 28800 bps for analog, 38400 bps
downstream for V.110 and 43200 bps downstream with
V.120. In addition, the data flow may be smoother when
using ISDN connections. These restrictions are caused
by the GSM network, and are not inherent to the Nokia
9290 Communicator.
Max. connection speed is for determining the maximum
connection speed. The GSM network may change the current
connection speed at its direction – for example, when the
network becomes congested.
Note: ll HSCSD connections are always made with 14400
bps per timeslot. This speed is almost always available in the
areas where network coverage is good and the network
supports HSCSD. If the network signal quality gets weaker,
the speed is automatically downgraded to 9600 bps per
timeslot by the GSM network. The network can also decrease
the number of time slots allocated for a user if network
congestion occurs. These actions may cause fluctuations in
the data rate, and may cause the total data rate to be
smaller than the requested data rate.
1These times are rough estimates and depend on the
network coverage, on the Internet service provider, and
other variables.
16
When SCSD connections are used, the user may control how many timeslots are used for the connection. Some GSM
carriers may charge on slot amount usage basis; some other GSM carriers may implement a fixed charging model for SCSD
calls. Please contact your network carrier for SCSD coverage and charging details.
