MBlaze 3G settings for ZEN A10 ULTRATAB

I bought a ZEN A10 Ultra tab. It does not support simcard, so, had to do with either external modem (2G or 3G) or a Wi-Fi. Had to browse a bit to find the correct settings. Here i have included the procedure for your reference.

For dongle to work, you have to set Access point names.Plug-in the dongle and do the following:

Go to settings->More->Mobile networks->click on Access point names. If your dongle is already connected it automatically configures MCC and MNC. Then change other parameters as following:

APN: #777
USERNAME: internet@internet.mtsindia.in
PASSWORD: MTS
APN TYPE: Leave this blank (don't set anything here)
NAME: MTS
PROXY: Leave this blank (don't set anything here)
PORT: Leave this blank (don't set anything here)
SERVER: Leave this blank (don't set anything here)
MMSC: Leave this blank (don't set anything here)
MMS PROXY: Leave this blank (don't set anything here)
MMS PORT: Leave this blank (don't set anything here)
AUTHENTICATION TYPE: PAP or CHAP
APN PROTOCOL: IPv4/IPv6
BEARER: unspecified

I also found this video, which helps how to go to APNs and set them:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=SH4L_aPZiBg

Some points to note:
1. This supports only CDMA (TATA/RELIANCE/MTS).
2. When you plug-in a dongle, it automatically configures MNC/MCC
3. Once you are done with settings, wait for sometime until a network connectivity symbol comes up on the right corner of your tablet. Once, it comes, you can browse.

The only mistake i did was, i have set everything correctly and started browsing instantly. Never waited for network connectivity symbol and was disappointed buying this product. But once it got connected, i am feeling ZEN A10 ULTRA TAB is one of the good tablets in markets. Even battery backup seems good. They specify a power cycle and i followed it, and now i get a 2.30 hours back up even though i use it continuously.

Working startup.s file for LPC2148

Recently, i was working on LPC2148 development board and was in need of startup file. I tried to include the file which keil environment generates automatically and it never worked. Had to browse a lot to find a working file. Here i am putting in the blog for your quick reference. Hope, it helps someone there!!! Copy from the first line till end and paste it in your startup.s file.

;/*
; *  The STARTUP.S code is executed after CPU Reset. This file may be
; *  translated with the following SET symbols. In uVision these SET
; *  symbols are entered under Options - ASM - Define.
; *
; *  REMAP: when set the startup code initializes the register MEMMAP
; *  which overwrites the settings of the CPU configuration pins. The
; *  startup and interrupt vectors are remapped from:
; *     0x00000000  default setting (not remapped)
; *     0x80000000  when EXTMEM_MODE is used
; *     0x40000000  when RAM_MODE is used
; *
; *  EXTMEM_MODE: when set the device is configured for code execution
; *  from external memory starting at address 0x80000000.
; *
; *  RAM_MODE: when set the device is configured for code execution
; *  from on-chip RAM starting at address 0x40000000.
