System components

Your Modem is just one part of a system designed to provide you with a wide

range of communication features. Every component of the system is needed to

enable these capabilities.

Your host computing device

Your notebook or PC hosts the Modem and runs the communication software:

your web browser or email application and Connection Manager—the Modem

enabling software.

You may also have other software on your computer that can be used wirelessly

with the Modem, such as: file transfer applications (FTP), chat or instant

messaging, a VPN (Virtual Private Network) client, client software for a corporate

server application.

The Modem

The Modem provides your computer with a connection to the CDMA wireless

network. Every CDMA network operates on one of three radio frequency bands

(450MHz, 800MHz and 1900MHz). The Modem is available in four configurations:

MV410 single-band 450MHz Modem, MV420 single band 800MHz, MV430 single-

band 1900MHz and dual-band 800/1900MHz Modem.

The Modem drivers and enabling software

Required to control, monitor, and manage your wireless connections, this includes

the AxessManager application and USB device driver.

The Modem comes with a CD containing this software:

¾

AxessManager application that you use to manage the Modem and

monitor your connections

¾

The USB device driver software that enables the Modem to work with

your computer’s operating system.

The USB driver and application software must be installed before you insert the

Modem for the first time if you choose to connect the Modem with your PC USB

port. AxessManager application is optional: you can install it at anytime or not

installing it altogether. Detailed instructions are provided in the following chapters.

A CDMA service provider account

Companies that operate CDMA networks and provide access to these networks

are called service providers. To use the Modem, you must have an account with a

CDMA service provider.

Each service provider has its own pricing options. There may be flat rate accounts,

which provide you a maximum number of minutes of network usage for a fixed

monthly fee. There may be accounts for which you are charged for network usage

by the minute or by the amount of data transmitted.

Your account may include a variety of other services such as SMS messaging.

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.

The process of setting up your account is called activation. Activation involves

action by the service provider and configuration of the Modem.

The CDMA wireless network

This is the worldwide infrastructure providing the radio coverage that allows you to

stay connected. Made up of radio towers and a variety of network switches,

routers, and servers, the network is an interconnection of many service providers.

Note: More information about CDMA networks is available on the CDMA

Development Group web site, www.cdg.org.

There are CDMA networks that operate in the frequency bands supported by the

Modem throughout North America and parts of Latin America, Asia, and New

Zealand. However, each service provider operates a network that covers a limited

geographical area within the overall CDMA coverage area.

Note: Some service providers have coverage maps on their web sites.
