Creating a Local Internet Connection on a Nautiz X7 Hand

Held Computer

Introduction This guide describes how to create and establish an Internet connection

on a Nautiz X7 that has an internal GSM modem.

We use the Internet connection to connect to Internet-based GPS

networks and reference stations that stream GPS data. This data is

used to reduce our autonomous GPS positions (approximately 10 metre

accuracy) into RTK positions (centimeter accuracy).

After the Internet connection is made, we will then test to ensure we

are on the Internet.

Important Note: You only need to create a connection once. After

that FieldGenius and EvidenceRecorder will continue to use this

already-created connection.

Internet

Providers Throughout the world there are many Internet providers.

This guide shows you the steps to connect to a GSM-based cellular

Internet account. The example we use in this guide is to connect to a

Canadian Internet provider called Rogers and the settings used are

specific to that provider. You will need to learn what these same

settings are for your local provider, but the steps are the same to

establish a connection.

Getting a SIM

Card Before you begin, you will need to acquire a GSM-based SIM card that

has a data account associated with it. Your cellular provider can

provide you with a SIM card.

A SIM card or Subscriber Identity Module is a portable memory chip

used in some models of cellular telephones (and modems). The SIM

holds personal identity information, cell phone number, phone book,

text messages and other data. It can be thought of as a mini hard disk

that automatically activates the phone into which it is inserted.

In the past we have seen that a 50Mb/month data plan should be

adequate to meet your surveying needs. You can always increase this

if you require more data.

This takes us to the Connections screen.





Step Action Display

4

In the Connections screen under the My

ISP heading:

Tap on Add a new modem

connection.

Note: Don’t be alarmed if you see

Manage existing connections in your

list. This means that a connection has

already been created in the past on your

Nautiz X7.

This opens the Make New Connection

screen.

5

In the Make New Connection screen:

Enter a name for the connection

in the Enter a name for the

connection field. In this

the Rogers Wireless Network, so

we will enter the word Rogers.

Feel free to enter a more

appropriate name.

Select Cellular Line (GPRS) in

the Select a modem pull-down

menu.

Press the Next button.

This takes us to the “Rogers” screen.





Step Action Display

In the “Rogers” screen:

Enter the APN (access point

name) in the Access point

name field. In this example

the APN is internet.com.

Your internet provider may

have a different one. They

are case sensitive.

Note: This may be referred to as the

Domain or APN Server by your

Internet service provider.

Press the Next button.

This takes us to the next page in the

Settings screen.

In the next page in the Settings

screen:

Enter your user name and

password in the Username

username is wapuser1 and the

password is wap (all in lower case).

Your information may be different.

Press the Finish button.

This returns us to the Settings

Connection screen.





Step Action Display

Tap on Manage existing

connections.

This takes us to the Settings My ISP

page.

In the Settings My ISP page:

We now see our newly created

connection in the list.

Remember: You only need to

create this connection once.

This step continues on the following

page.





Let’s connect to

the Internet The following steps describe how to connect to the Internet.

Step Action Display

Continuing from the previous page:

Tap and hold your stylus on

our new connection name.

You will see a pop-up menu open.

Tap on the Connect choice.

You will see your data collector

connect to your Internet provider.

You will also see your icons change.

These icons (or

ones similar) are displayed before a

connection is made.

These icons are

displayed when a connection to the

Internet is successful.

Exit back out to the Main

Menu.

Let’s test this connection and prove

we are connected to the Internet.





Browse the web We will now verify that indeed, we are connected to the Internet.

Step Action Display

From the Main menu screen:

Tap on the Start button and

select Internet Explorer

from the pull-down menu.

This opens Internet Explorer.

11

Within Internet Explorer:

Enter a web address in the

browser’s address field.

Try

www.microsurvey.com.

If you see the web site load then you

know you have successfully created

a connection and are accessing the

Internet.





Congratulations You have successfully created an Internet connection using

Windows Mobile 6. Then you successfully tested that Internet

connection.

Remember, FieldGenius and EvidenceRecorder will continue to use

this connection to connect to the Internet. You only have to create

this connection once. In other words, you don’t have to follow these

steps each and every time you want to survey using the Internet.

The only instances I can think of where you might need to create a

new connection is:

if you have mistakenly deleted this connection,

if your network provider has changed their connection

settings, or

you are in a different region and you must create a new

connection using the regional connection settings.
