Plug-and-Play
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, assuming that your Modem has been activated with the
network (The process of setting up your account is called activation. Activation
involves action by the service provider and configuration of the Modem.)
Once the Modem has been activated, simply connect your computer with the
Modem using the provided Ethernet (RJ-45) cable and you are ready to use the
Internet. If you choose to install the driver and its enabling software (the
AxessManager), you will have more controls of the Modem performances and
settings.
Works with Both PCs and Mac® Computers
The Modem supports a variety of networking environments including Mac OS®
9.x, X v10.x, AppleTalk®, Linux®, Windows® 98, Me, NT®, 2000, and XP, and
others. All that is needed is an Internet browser and a network adapter that
supports TCP/IP (the standard language of the Internet).
Top-View LED Display
Lighted LEDs on the top of the Modem indicate which functions are in operation.
You’ll know at-a-glance whether your Modem is in EV-DO or 1X mode, connected
to the Internet, and in Wi-Fi or Ethernet operation. This feature eliminates the
need for advanced software and status-monitoring procedures.
Web-Based Advanced User Interface
You can set up the Modem’s advanced functions easily through you’re
AxessManager web browser, without having to install additional software onto the
computer. There are no disks to install or keep track of and, best of all, you can
make changes and perform setup functions from any computer on the network
quickly and easily.
NAT IP Address Sharing
Your Modem employs Network Address Translation (NAT) to share the single IP
address assigned to you by your Internet Service Provider while saving the cost of
adding IP addresses to your Internet service account.
