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.
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.
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 (D-35 series only), USB connection and password management.
This chapter provides the step-by-step process to install the AxessManager
connectivity software.
