In some cases where a user's devices are unable to set up the network interface automatically to operate on Atomic Mobile (Telstra Premium Mobile network, aka WME), a manual configuration to access WPD (Wireless Pack Data) may be required. Below are steps and parameters to set up Android , Windows and Apple devices.
Ensure the device is:
Not locked with any other carrier or service;
Up to date with the latest Operational System available;
- Wi-Fi is turned off;
The configuration screen for Android devices is usually located in the Applications/settings/Mobile Network/Access point name’s submenu , end users need to input the following settings to configure the device:
| APN | mdata.net.au |
|---|---|
| Proxy | |
| Port | |
| Username | |
| Password | |
| Server | |
| MMSC | http://mmsc.mdata.net.au:8003 |
| MMS Proxy | 10.1.1.180 |
| MMS Port | 80 |
| MMS Protocol | WAP 2.0 |
| MCC | 505 |
| MNC | 01 |
| Authentication | |
| APN Type | default,dun,supl,mms |
To activate device tethering on capable devices (enabling a handset to be used as a modem), please use the vendor’s PC Sync software and specify the APN mdata.net.au as part of the software’s configuration screen (if required).
Devices using the Windows phone operating system require manual configuration to access WPD.The end user may be required to perform multiple steps to get this working – the example for a WinPhone 7.5 device is given below. You and your end user should refer to the handset manual in each case.
The end user needs to follow the following steps:
From the front screen, go to the /settings/mobile network/’edit apn’ button
Under APN field, enter: mdata.net.au
Once the previous two steps are complete, the end user should be able to browse the internet.
Set up the device (as per the user manual), including creating a new or applying an existing ‘windows live’ account by following the steps as prompted by the handset.
Check their SMS settings via the /messaging/settings screen. If the SMSC number is not present, the end user must enter it manually (+61 418 706 275). Refer to device manual.
Download the Network Setup app from the Microsoft Marketplace (this app may be called a Connection Setup, Network Profile or other name depending on the brand of the handset). Click on the Marketplace icon, search for the Network Setup app (or the relevantly named app) and download it.
