Testing with a WAP-enabled mobile phone simulator
I'll provide you with some simple steps with which to test the gateway and access the WML pages from the Internet through a mobile phone simulator. You need two machines, one running a Windows® operating system, and the other the Linux gateway, preferably connected through a LAN. The Linux machine must be connected to the Internet, either directly or indirectly.

• You can use the Nokia 7210 Content Authoring SDK (see Resources), which is available for a Windows system.
• Install it in a Windows system.
• Do a little configuring and set the gateway address to the IP address of the Linux machine running the gateway.
• Now type any Web site address serving WML pages from the simulator and you are done!

You must be able to access the pages and navigate through the simulator.
