    Hello,

    I have a Panasonic CF-52 with a internal WAN-Card. Now I bought a CF-53 without a WAN card. Is it possible to use the WAN-card Hardware from the CF-52 in the CF-53?
    I found in the bios the option "optional Kit Configuration" saved with the password "xxxxxxxx". In there I can chance the oprion "Wireless WAN ID". Can somebody help me?

    Asking nice won't help. :D
    First of all could we see both full model numbers. It's not to get into your personal information but it gives us clues as to what we are dealing with via the configurators.

    Thanks,

    Jeff

    It depends on the WWAN card you're putting in it.

    What is the model of the card you want to use?
