icon on the task bar.
The main window in the default status:
The main application windowif your PC supports WLAN technology
and the T-Mobile HotSpotservice is accessible:
More details about the connection through WLAN can be found in
Section 7 – WLAN Setup.
Description of Main Window’s Items
Menu of installed device
This list enables you to select the equipment through which you will
connect to the Internet. If the software has just been installed, only
one device will be shown here (or other modems previously installed
in the computer). T-Mobile Communication Centre allows you to have
multiple devices installed in your computer simultaneously (see
Section 9) and tochoose the one you need for current connection
from the pull-down menu. Devices installed through T-Mobile
Communication Centrearehighlighted with red color and they serve
for connection through Internet 4G or PRS/EDGE services.
Information about Transmitted Data Volume
Information about transmitted data volume can be found right from
the name of the currently selected device. The values apply to the
selected device. If you use Internet 4G or GPRS/EDGE devices with
your computer moreoften, you can separately watch the data
volumes transmitted through each of these services. The values are
displayed in kB.
Control Buttons
Application control buttons can be found in the bottom part of the
window (described from left to right):
nkey – displays configuration options (settings)
nreceiver – connects the computer to the Internet using the selected
device
nmobile telephone – displays a window with SMS editor and with
signal/battery gauges; in case of a 4G device, technical information
about the connected device and effective signal strength/battery
gauges is displayed
nwaste bin – used to uninstall the selected device
nquestion mark – help
The buttons are available according to the current status of the
application. It is not for example possible to send SMS messages and
connect through GPRS at the same time. Unavailable buttons are
gray, available buttons change their color to red when the mouse
cursor is placed over them. Closing the window (using the top right

6. Connection and Disconnection
For the possibility to connect to the Internet, at least one Internet
4G or GPRS/EDGE device must be installed. It is usually installed
already during the installation of the T-Mobile Communication
Centre, however, it can be carried out at any time – see the
procedure described in Section 9.
Step 1
Select the handset or card you want to connect with from the
pull-down menu with the list of available devices.
Step 2
Make sure that the device is correctly connected to the computer
(by cable, Bluetooth, infrared port, or PCMCIA card).
Step 3
Press the button with receiver and await connection establishment.
The connection progress is displayed on the screen.
If you havesetup multiple connections for the particular device
(see Section 9), you will be first prompted to choose the required
connection. However, you will most probably use only the Internet
connection (through APN Internet), which will be automatically used
as default connection.
Note: If you are going to use a 4G Modem or a 4G PC Card, the
PIN code request on your SIM card is active and you will be
prompted to enter your PIN code before the first connection. It is
possible to deactivate the PIN code protection in the window used
for PIN entry.
If you are going to use Option Globetrotter GPRS PCMCIA card, it
is necessary to deactivate the PIN code request on your SIM card!
The PIN request must be also deactivated whenever you use this
card together with T-Mobile Communication Centre (for example
when connecting through GPRS). Standard drivers supplied with
the Option card must be installed when the PIN code protection is
required for the data SIM card used – see the procedure
described in Section 11. Unless the PIN code is urgently required,
we do not recommend installation of standard Option drivers due
to possible problems with some Windows configurations. When
the PIN code request on the SIM card is off, it is enough to install
the T-Mobile Communication Centre.
Once the connection is setup, the windowwill display a duration of
connection and a meter of total data volume transmitted during the
current connection. The „Details“ button is displayed in the right
corner.It allows to get more informatin about current conectin.
After you pressed the „Details“ button the window will display a meter
of data volume transmitted during the current connection and
graphic connection speed meter, which informs you about the
current transmission speed. The values are displayed in bytes or
kilobytes per second. It is also possible to set up transparency of an
external graph displayed in the bottom right screen corner. This
graph can be used for continuous monitoring of the transmission
speed (the graph is transparent it is possible to click through it).
When the minimal transparency value is set (the indicator next to the
speed meter is moved far left), the external graph will not be shown.
The following information can be found right from the graphic speed
meter:
nduration of connection – in hh:mm:ss format
ncurrent – current transmission speed in bytes or kB per second
nmaximum – maximal speed of transmission reached during current
session measured in bytes or kilobytes per second
ntotal – amount of data sent and received during the current session
measured in bytes or kilobytes
When a connection is active, the button with receiver changes its
appearance to a replaced handset. Clicking this button will terminate
the connection.
When the particular GPRS/EDGE device is connected, sending of
SMS messages or its removal will not be possible – relevant buttons
will not be accessible in such case. If you use and have multiple
devices installed in the T-Mobile Communication Centre, it is possible
to send SMS messages through another device. It is however
necessaryto select it from the pull-down menu with the list of GPRS
devices and only then click on the button with the envelope symbol.
Note: Actions relating to clicking on connection/disconnection
button always relate to the device selected from the list. This
means that if you choose a device from the list and press the
receiver button, the connection will be established. If you
subsequently select another device and click the receiver button
again, the current connection will not be terminated – instead, the
system will attempt to establish a new connection through the
newly selected device. If you wan to end the current connection in
such case, you have to re-select the connected device from the list
and press the receiver button. Please note the receiver position
shown on the button – it informs you whether clicking the button
will result in connection establishment or termination.

T-Mobile Communication Centre application can be used for easy
connection setup and Internet access also through a high-speed
wireless technology (WLAN). If your notebook support WLAN or if
you have a WLAN card inserted, the connection to the Internet is
very easy.
If a recognized WLAN card is available in your computer and the
application TMCC recognized that T-Mobile HotSpot service is
available, the TMCC window is extended by a top part.
The customer can enter his/her name and password obtained within
the framework of the T-Mobile HotSpot service and log into the
network by clicking on Login. Name and password are stored for
future use.
You can log off the T-Mobile HotSpot service by clicking the Log off
button.

You can send SMS messages using the devices installed with
T-Mobile Communication Centre. The messages will be sent in the
same way as in the case of sending them directly from the
handset. With T-Mobile Communication Centre you can use the
advantage of comfortable and fast writing of the messages using
the computer keyboard.
Note: the SMS service is not available for the devices intended for
Internet connection through the Internet 4G service.
Select the device which you want to use for sending SMS in the
menu and connect the particular device to the computer (cable,
bluetooth or infrared port or insert the PCMCIA card).
This is the window for sending SMS which is viewed after clicking
the button with the picture of message:
It is possible to send SMS via the particular device only in case it is
not connected via GPRS.
You can write the message of up to 160 characters in the text field.
Right to that you can input the phone number of the recipient or you
can use the list of contacts read from SIM-card or from the handset
(the reading of the list takes several seconds depending on the
number of stored contacts).
Left to the text field is the indicator of signal level and its value in
decibels (dB) and on the opposite side of the window you can find
the indicator of battery level. These elements are available in several
seconds after opening this window (communication between
computer and the device takes several seconds for getting this data).
Send button is disabled if it is not possible to send the message or
the message is being currently sent. If you press the button it gets
disabled. In the time it is enabled again the message was
successfully sent.
For closing this part of the window for sending the SMS press the

Using of PIN-lock with PCMCIA Option Globetrotter card
For using T-Mobile Communication Centre with PCMCIA card Option
Globetrotter it is necessary to switch off PIN-lock on the SIM-card.
If it is necessary to have it switched on anyway you must install the
original WCM driver available on original Option CD (part of Option
pack). Follow the next steps:
1. Make sure that the card is NOT inserted in the computer.
2. In the case that you have installed the card via T-Mobile
Communication Centre already remove it according to steps
described in chapter 7, Uninstalling the device.
3. When the card is removed in T-Mobile Communication Centre
insert the original Option CD into the device (it should be
automatically started or start it by clicking the GTinst.exe file).
4. Make the WCM installation according to displayed instructions.
Don’t insert the card until you are not asked for that by the installer.
It is possible to interrupt the installation in the time when the
following window is displayed:
5. In the displayed window press Cancel (and also in the next error
message). If you continue in the installation the special Option
manager will be installed – but you don’t need it if you connect via
T-Mobile Communication Centre. We recommend to install Option
manager only if you are going to use e.g. voice functions of the
card).
6. Add the card as a new device in T-Mobile Communication Centre
again.
7. Now you will be asked for PIN input during the connection if the
PIN-lock is switched on in the SIM-card:
Due toproblems of the original driver with some configurations of
Windows operating system we don’t recommend its installation and
rather werecommend to switch off the PIN lock in the SIM-card.
In case of using the original driver we recommend to wait 20–30
seconds after the insertion of the card for its full initialization and
then tomakeconnection.
External configuration file for installation
In case of adding the new connection (APN) according to chapter 8
in the directory where T-Mobile Communication Centre is installed is
newly available userconn.ini file. There are parameters of connection
configuration of both standard APN Internet and newly created APNs.
It is possible to use this file if you are going to install T-Mobile
Communication Centre on other computers with the same
configuration of connections. If this file is available in the same
directory as the installation setup.exe file during the installation
T-Mobile Communication Centre will be pre-configured with these
options after the installation. If the configuration file is not available
in the same directory during the installation only standard APN
Internet connection will be configured.
It is possible to edit the file manually too. This is its structure
(example of standard configuration for APN Internet):
[APN Internet]
userName=”gprs“
password=”gprs“
domain=” “
apn=”internet.t-mobile.cz“
ip=0.0.0.0
primaryDns=62.141.0.1
secondaryDns=213.162.65.1
primaryWins=0.0.0.0
secondaryWins=0.0.0.0
proxy=” “
proxyBypass=” “
This group of lines can be repeated in the file as manytimes as many
different connections you want to create.
