4.3. Running GlobeTrotter Connect

As soon as you plug in a compatible communications device (Card, USB

device…). GlobeTrotter Connect shows up in the Systray.

GlobeTrotter Connect is now ready to make a connection. Don’t forget that

apart from the software the Option communications device also needs

to be ready. E.g. you can’t use the device while it isn’t registered to the

network or if the PIN code hasn’t been entered yet.

4.4. Entering your PIN code

If you have enabled the PIN code on your SIM card you will automatically

be asked to type it in. If enabled you won’t be able to use your data device

until you have typed in the PIN code. This will happen every time you

power up the device.

4.5. Checking Status

Once the PIN code is entered (or immediately if you have disabled the PIN

code) the device will look for the network. You can check the status by

moving your mouse pointer over the GlobeTrotter Connect icon to get a

quick status report showing the network name, technology being used and

the signal quality:
