Folders. Click on any folder to display its contents.
SIM SMS. Shows the contents of SMS messages in the SIM. At program startup, all previously received SMS messages in the SIM are uploaded to the GC75 Manager program. This is done so that the New Messages icon on the Status view can be appropriately displayed. Thereafter, new messages are read by responding to new message indications from the card. Messages in this folder have a status flag to indicate whether they are read or unread. This is only valid for the current program session. The next time the GC75 Manager starts all previous messages will be automatically marked as Read in the SIM.
Saved Messages. The contents of this folder are managed by copying or moving messages from the SIM folder via appropriate Message View commands.
Sent Items. This folder contains messages that have been successfully sent.
Unsent Items. This folder contains messages that the user has composed but which have not been successfully sent. This can occur, for example, if the user composes messages while the card is in the Radio Off state, or if the attempt to send the message fails (card responds with an error message to send request). Messages in the Unsent Items can be sent at a later time.
Message lists. Displays the contents of the selected folder.

Introduction: Broadcom BCM94306MP Mini PCI Card User's Guide Back to Contents Introduction: Broadcom BCM94306MP Mini PCI Card User's Guide Before you begin Things you should know BCM94306MP network Before you begin Obtain the following information from your network administrator (if you are a home user, obtain this information from the person that installed your wireless access point):
l Network names (SSID) of the specific wireless networks that you want to connect to. l WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) key information (if any) for the networks you want to connect to. l For Microsoft Windows networking, your customer name and workgroup name. l For your network account, your user name and password. l Your IP address (if not using a DHCP server) Things you should know When you start your computer, your Broadcom BCM94306MP internal 802.11b Mini PCI card detects certain wireless networks that are within range. Before you can connect to these and other wireless networks, you must configure a profile for each network using the information you obtained from your network administrator. Instructions for configuring a network profile are provided in Completing the setup. WEP is a security protocol for wireless local area networks (defined in the IEEE 802.11b standard) that encrypts data sent over radio waves. The use of the WEP key is optional and can be enabled or disabled. If the network you are connecting to has enabled WEP, you must also enable WEP in the network profile and set the WEP key to match the WEP key used by the network. Otherwise, you cannot connect to the network.

Data transfer is sometimes very slow. Data transfer is always very slow. Computers are not communicating with the network. In Microsoft Windows 2000, I get the following error message: Medium cable disconnected. Also, there is a red X on my network icon in the system tray. Network performance is really slow when the system is docked to a docking station that has an active Ethernet port. NOTEFor Windows 2000 only. Microwave ovens and some cordless phones operate at the same radio frequency as the BCM94306MP Mini PCI cards. When the microwave oven or cordless phone is in use, it interferes with the wireless network. Therefore, keep computers having the BCM94306MP Mini PCI card at least 20 feet away from your microwave oven and any cordless telephone that operates at a frequency of 2.4 GHz. Some homes and most offices are steel-framed structures. The steel in such buildings may interfere with your network's radio signals, thus causing a slowdown in the data transmission rate. Try moving your computers to different locations in the building to see if performance improves. If your network has an AP1100 access point, check all cables and make sure the power LED on the front of the AP1100 is green. This indicates that your computer is not properly configured to connect to the network. Verify that all of the wireless network properties settings are correct (see Viewing or modifying the wireless network properties). Also, make sure that your computer is receiving a good signal from the access point. See Viewing the link status of your wireless connection. This condition occurs if you dock your system into a docking station that has an active Ethernet port while your Broadcom BCM94306MP internal Mini PCI card is still active and connected to an access point. This happens because Windows 2000 must now handle two active network connections. You need to either disconnect the Ethernet cable from your docking station, or disable the radio on your Mini PCI Card. To disable the radio on your Mini PCI Card, right click on the Broadcom BCM94306MP utility icon icon in the system tray and click Disable Radio. NOTEThe radio is not automatically enabled when you computer next starts. To enable the radio, right-click on the Broadcom BCM94306MP wireless utility icon and click Enable Radio. file:///P|/pc/My%20Documents/Working/User%20Guides/94306MP/trouble.htm (2 of 3) [11/22/2002 2:16:12 PM]

Data transfer is sometimes very slow. Data transfer is always very slow. Computers are not communicating with the network. In Microsoft Windows 2000, I get the following error message: Medium cable disconnected. Also, there is a red X on my network icon in the system tray. Network performance is really slow when the system is docked to a docking station that has an active Ethernet port. NOTEFor Windows 2000 only. Microwave ovens and some cordless phones operate at the same radio frequency as the BCM94306MP Mini PCI cards. When the microwave oven or cordless phone is in use, it interferes with the wireless network. Therefore, keep computers having the BCM94306MP Mini PCI card at least 20 feet away from your microwave oven and any cordless telephone that operates at a frequency of 2.4 GHz. Some homes and most offices are steel-framed structures. The steel in such buildings may interfere with your network's radio signals, thus causing a slowdown in the data transmission rate. Try moving your computers to different locations in the building to see if performance improves. If your network has an AP1100 access point, check all cables and make sure the power LED on the front of the AP1100 is green. This indicates that your computer is not properly configured to connect to the network. Verify that all of the wireless network properties settings are correct (see Viewing or modifying the wireless network properties). Also, make sure that your computer is receiving a good signal from the access point. See Viewing the link status of your wireless connection. This condition occurs if you dock your system into a docking station that has an active Ethernet port while your Broadcom BCM94306MP internal Mini PCI card is still active and connected to an access point. This happens because Windows 2000 must now handle two active network connections. You need to either disconnect the Ethernet cable from your docking station, or disable the radio on your Mini PCI Card. To disable the radio on your Mini PCI Card, right click on the Broadcom BCM94306MP utility icon icon in the system tray and click Disable Radio. NOTEThe radio is not automatically enabled when you computer next starts. To enable the radio, right-click on the Broadcom BCM94306MP wireless utility icon and click Enable Radio. file:///P|/pc/My%20Documents/Working/User%20Guides/94306MP/trouble.htm (2 of 3) [11/22/2002 2:16:12 PM]
