Sierra Wireless MP 875 - Manual (Page 33)

Hardware and Software Installation
Note: Your profiles are stored on
your MP 875 modem —not on
the SIM card. If you use your
SIM card in another device you
must create a profile on that
device.
Note: If the version of firmware
on your MP modem is not
current with your version of 3G
Watcher, you will be prompted to
update your firmware when you
launch the program. This update
ensures proper operation of your
MP modem and may take up to
15 minutes.
5. Insert the sled back into the SIM slot.
6. Push the sled in until it clicks into place in the slot.
7. Close the rubber cover again by fitting in the left edge and
then pressing in to seal the cover.
Setting up connection profiles
Unless your MP 875 modem was pre-configured by your
reseller or service provider, you must set up at least one
connection profile before you can use it to access the Internet.
Some service providers offer a single profile. Some offer
separate profiles for separate purposes (for example: one for
web browsing and one to use while accessing a corporate
network over a VPN). You may also require different profiles
for different types of data connections, or if you have multiple
SIMs. The MP 875 modem allows you to create up to three
profiles.
Creating a profile
3G Watcher includes pre-defined profiles for many different
service providers. You can either use one of these profiles or
create a profile manually by entering the necessary infor­
mation.
To create a profile for a high-speed connection:
1. Ensure that you are not connected to the network.
2. Start 3G Watcher by choosing Start > Programs >
Sierra Wireless Inc > 3G Watcher > 3G Watcher , or double
click the desktop shortcut.
3. From the main window, select Tools > Connections .
4. Click the Add new profile button .
