Connecting to the AT&T
Network
The PinPoint X uses AT&T as an ISP (Internet Service
Provider) to connect you to the Internet.
Steps of a connection:
1.
When your PinPoint X is powered on, it automatically
searches for cellular service using HSDPA or EDGE.
2.
Your PinPoint X establishes a PPP (Point to Point Protocol
or “dial” up connection) link to the AT&T network, also
called registering on the network, and receives an IP
address.
3.
When your PinPoint X has received its IP address from
AT&T, a connection to the Internet or the cellular network
is also available for a computer or other device connected
directly to the PinPoint X.
