Connecting and Configuring your Modem
Each Modem has been provisioned at the factory for use with a particular service
provider. This sets the Modem to use particular radio channels and enables
services specific for that provider.
MV400-series and MV400i-series
: Although the Modem comes with drivers and
enabling software, you don’t have to install and use them if you simply want to
connect to the Internet through the Ethernet (RJ-45) ports
, assuming that your
Modem has been activated with the network. Simply connect your computer with
the Modem using the provided Ethernet (RJ-45) cable and you are ready to use
the Internet.
However, if you want to connect to the Internet through USB port
, you must install
AxessManager software.
MV400R-series
: You must install AxessManager software to connect and
configure your Modem.
If you choose to install the drivers and its enabling software (the AxessManager)
you will have more controls of the Modem performances and settings. You will
also have access to more advance features of the Modem such as Wi-Fi
configuration (not applicable to MV400i-series), USB connection and password
management.
This chapter provides the step-by-step process to install the AxessManager
connectivity software.
