Phone Number Enter the phone number to call when this dial-out connection is used.
If you are using an external GSM modem, you can select the
following options to enable a GPRS connection with this number:

GPRS. Uses the GPRS protocol to transmit data instead of an
analog phone call. A connection will be established whenever the
SmartServer attempts to contact a server with the dial-up
connection. Once the transaction with the server is complete, the
connection will be dropped. See the documentation for your
GSM modem for more information about the GPRS protocol.

Persistent GPRS. Uses the GPRS protocol to transmit data, but
the GSM modem requests a network connection as soon as the
SmartServer boots, and keeps it open as long as the ISP allows it.
Note: Many GPRS service providers require a phone number that
must be dialed when establishing a connection, such as *99***1#.
Consult your ISP for details on configuring the properties of your
GPRS connections.
Note: To use the Firefox Web browser to access the SmartServer
Web pages via GPRS, you must modify your user agent string in
the Web browser. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Enter about:config in the address bar of the Firefox Web
browser.
2. In the Filter box, enter general.useragent.extra.firefox.
3. Double-click the general.useragent.extra.firefox preference
name.
4. Enter the following value in the Enter String Value dialog:
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1;
Trident/4.0; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727;
.NET CLR 3.0.4506.2152; . NET CLR 3.5.30729)
5. Click OK.
User Name Enter the user name (maximum 30 ASCII characters) to be used by
the SmartServer when connecting to an ISP. The user name may not
include the ‘&’, ‘<‘, and ‘>‘ characters. This field is blank by default.
Password Click Change Password to enter and then re-enter the password
(maximum 30 ASCII characters) to be used by the SmartServer when
connecting to an ISP. The password may not include the ‘&’, ‘<‘, and
‘>‘ characters. This field is blank by default.
Remote DNS Server Enter the IP address of the DNS server to be used when using this
dial-out connection. Select the Obtain Automatically check box to
obtain the DNS server address from the PPP server when establishing
the connection.
Disconnect if Idle for Enter the length of time (between 0.0 and 6553.5) seconds that the
connection may be idle before it is disconnected. Once a PPP
connection is established, it will not be released until it has been idle
for this amount of time. This means that if data is being constantly
sent over a PPP connection, the connection will never be dropped and
any data that needs to use a second PPP connection may never be sent.
