3 Services and Applications

3.1 Data Service

3.1.1 Wireless Modem

The E5577Cs-603 can function as a wireless modem when Wi-Fi is enabled. Users can utilize default settings or configure the APN via the E5577Cs-603 Web page to establish a wireless network connection and access the Internet. Up to ten wireless users can connect to the E5577Cs-603 simultaneously. The WLAN can be set up with the access point (AP) function.

3.1.2 USB Modem

Upon connecting the E5577Cs-603 to a PC using a USB data cable, the Web page is automatically displayed on the PC desktop. Users can directly use the default settings or configure the APN on the E5577Cs-603 Web page to set up a network connection. This allows for sending/receiving emails, accessing the network wirelessly, and downloading files through wireless data channels.

3.1.3 LTE/3G/Wi-Fi Auto Offload

The E5577Cs-603 enables internet access via LTE, 3G, or Wi-Fi. When in proximity to a Wi-Fi hotspot (e.g., in an airport, cafe, hotel, or at home), the device automatically switches to Wi-Fi connection, thereby saving LTE/3G network data charges. With this function enabled, a maximum of nine wireless users can connect to the E5577Cs-603 concurrently.
