Abstract
The invention relates to a wireless communication device (1) comprising a basic part (2, 22), an adapter unit (4a, 4b, 4n) and means for transferring signals between the basic part (2, 22) and the adapter unit (4a, 4b, 4n). The basic part has memory means (14) and a control unit (13) for controlling the functions of the wireless communication means (1). The adapter unit (4a, 4b, 4n) arranged to be connected to the basic part comprises means for transferring information between the wireless communication device (1) and at least one data transmission network, and means for storing the type data (ID) of the adapter unit, which type data identifies said data transmission network. The wireless communication device further comprises means for examining the type data (ID) of the adapter unit, means for loading the configuration data (syst(1), syst(2), . . . syst(N)) of the adapter unit (4a, 4b, 4n) connected to the basic part (2, 22) at the time, and means (13, 14) for configuration of the wireless communication device (1) on the basis of the loaded configuration data (syst(1), syst(2), . . . syst(N)).
