Getting started 1
Getting started
Congratulations and thank you for purchasing a Sony Ericsson PC card.
Your Sony Ericsson PC card comes with the Wireless Manager application. Wireless Manager provides
a set of tools that you can use to configure and manage wireless connections on your laptop computer.
You can use Wireless Manager to:
• Connect to the Internet or a corporate wireless network
• Display GPRS/EDGE/UMTS and wireless LAN status information
• Create or modify connection settings
• Manage your Sony Ericsson PC card settings
• Manage phone books for your SIM card and laptop computer

System requirements
This section lists the network subscriptions and hardware and software requirements for using your
Sony Ericsson PC card.
Network and subscription
The network subscription that you use depends on which services are available from your network
operator. Contact your network operator or service provider to make sure the options that you require
are available. Make sure that data options are included in your subscription, as these are usually
optional services.
Note:
Network operators often provide multiple connection options via UMTS/EDGE/GPRS such as
WAP, MMS, and Internet. Verify the services that you require, such as Internet, email or corporate
VPN (Virtual Private Network) service is available through your network operator and enabled
on your subscription.
This section describes the mobile network services supported by Sony Ericsson PC cards.
Check your PC Card User Guide for information about supported services for your specific model.
Circuit Switched Data (CSD)
CSD is the original GSM network data transfer method, used in the past for WAP. Almost all GSM
networks have this capability at 9.6 kbps. It is possible for the network to upgrade the speed to 14.4 kbps.
Depending on the Sony Ericsson PC card that you have, your PC card may operate at this higher
speed where available.
General Packet Radio Service (GPRS)
GPRS is a type of network connection which provides “always on” mobility. The connection setup
is fast and, once connected, applications may send and receive data whenever required. In today’s
GPRS networks, the Sony Ericsson PC card receives data at speeds up to 53.6 kbps and transmits
at speeds up to 26.8 kbps.

2 Getting started
Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution (EDGE)
EDGE enhances GPRS by increasing data throughput by a factor of 3. GPRS networks enhanced with
EDGE are often referred to as Enhanced GPRS (E-GPRS) networks. EDGE provides the “always
on” capability of GPRS but at faster speeds. EDGE technology is transparent, simply make a GPRS
connection as usual and benefit from the increase in speed where EDGE is available in a network.
When EDGE is available you can expect increased speeds of up to 200 kbps, dependent on network
coverage.
Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS)
UMTS is a 3G technology standard for wide-area wireless data communication. The UMTS standard
uses advanced network operator mobile Internet services to achieve data transfer rates up to 384 kbps,
which are ideal for connecting your laptop to the Internet or a corporate network.
Short Message Service (SMS)
The PC can send and receive SMS text messages using the SMS Messages window in Wireless Manager,
see Wireless Manager – SMS Messages view on page 46, for more details.
Wireless LAN connection
Your PC card may also contain wireless LAN functionality. For detailed information about features
that your PC card supports, refer to your PC Card User Guide.
To use your Sony Ericsson PC card as a wireless LAN adapter for a corporate, small office, or home
network, you must have the appropriate access and logon rights to that network. If necessary, contact
your network administrator to arrange access.
