User's Manual

The 3G/GPRS Cradle is a charging & communication cradle, specifically designed for

connecting CipherLab 8000 Series Mobile Computers to WWAN via 3G/GPRS or GSM data

services. Refer to Appendix I Programming Support.

This chapter explains the working mode supported by the 3G/GPRS Cradle. For quick

deployment, we provide a utility (.SHX) that can be downloaded to your mobile computer

and used to configure, test, and upgrade firmware of as many cradles as you have. Refer

to Chapter 3 Using 8000 to Configure 3G/GPRS Cradle and Chapter 4 Upgrading

Firmware.

Please contact your Internet service provider (ISP) or network operator for information

on 3G/GPRS related settings, such as

 APN (name of access point that connects the mobile network to the Internet)

 IP address (DHCP or static)

 User name and password (may be optional, depending on Challenge-Handshake

Authentication Protocol)

Note: It is recommended that the charging devices be operated at room temperature

(18°C to 25°C) for optimal performance. The charging devices will not charge the

battery when the temperature drops below 0°C or exceeds 40°C.
