AirCard 800 Series modems The AirCard 800 Series third generation (3G) wireless modems allow you to connect to the Internet, send and receive email, connect to a corporate network or virtual private network
(VPN), or view streaming video, without the need for a network cable or phone line. The AirCard PC Card modem (AirCard 850, 860, 875, and 88x) fits into a standard (Type II) PC Card slot. The AirCard ExpressCard modem (AirCard 88xE) fits into standard ExpressCard/34 and ExpressCard/54 slots. The AirCard USB modem (AirCard 8xxU) fits into Type A USB ports. Services supported The services supported on your AirCard modem depend on the model and your service provider.
(See www.sierrawireless.com for details) GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, and HSDPA/HSUPA service support GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, and HSDPA/HSUPA are add-on data services to Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) mobile phone networks. The maximum theoretical data speeds when connected on these services are:
High Speed Download Packet Access (HSDPA)up to 7.2 Megabits per second (Mbps) High Speed Upload Packet Access (HSUPA1)up to 2.0 Mbps (available for AirCard 88x, 88xE, and 88xU modems) Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) 384 kilobits per second (kbps) 1. HSUPA is only available for the 88x, 88xE, and 88xU AirCard modems. Rev 1.1 Aug.07 11 AirCard 800 Series Installation Guide Note: If you purchased the AirCard modem from a GSM service provider, you may already have an account and a SIM card. Otherwise, your retailer should be able to give you the names of companies that provide these items. Enhanced Data GSM Environment (EDGE)236 kbps General Packet Radio Service (GPRS)56 kbps GPRS and EDGE are second generation (2G) data services. UMTS and HSDPA/HSUPA are 3G data services. When establishing a connection, your AirCard modem uses the fastest available service. If, for example, you are using an AirCard modem in an area that has GPRS and EDGE service but not UMTS or HSDPA/HSUPA service, the AirCard modem connects using EDGE service. Once the connection is established, you have access to all Internet services. Your account and coverage area Companies that operate GSM networks and provide access to those networks are called service providers. You must have an account with a GSM service provider to use the AirCard modem. To use the modems 3G capability, your account must be with a service provider that offers HSDPA/HSUPA or UMTS service. (The AirCard modem is backwards compatible with 2G service.) When you obtain your account, you are given a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card, also called a smart card or smart chip. The SIM card contains account information and must be inserted in the AirCard modem before you use it. Before you can use the AirCard modem, you must install the AirCard modem software and ensure that your AirCard modem is configured to use your account. Once the software is installed and your AirCard modem is configured, you can connect to the Internet with the AirCard modem in any area where you can obtain GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, or HSDPA/HSUPA service. 12 2130893 Note: The fee for service is usually higher when you are roaming (connected to a network other than the one belonging to your service provider). Introducing the AirCard 800 Series Modems Your ability to obtain service depends on these factors:
GSM network coverageYou must be within the coverage area of a GSM network in order to use the AirCard modem. Service providerIf you are within the coverage area of a network that is not operated by your own service provider, you can obtain service only if there is a roaming agreement between your service provider and the network operator. Account provisionsYour account may restrict your usage to certain networks or limit the amount of time you can use the network. Frequency bandYou cannot connect to networks operating in bands not supported by your AirCard modem, regardless of roaming agreements or account provisions. Most service providers have coverage maps on their web sites. AirCard modem software The AirCard modem comes with this software (made by Sierra Wireless):
The 3G Watcher program for Windows that you use to manage the AirCard modem and monitor your connec tions. The driver software that forms the interface between the AirCard modem and your Windows operating system.

AirCard 850/860 modems on page 16 AirCard 875, 88x, and 88xE modems on page 19 AirCard USB modems on page 22 Note: If a CD is provided with your AirCard modem, do not insert the modem into your computer before installing the software on the CD. If there is no CD, follow the installation instructions for TRU-Install for your particular AirCard modem. System requirements The AirCard modem is supported on:
Windows Vista Windows XP (Home and Professional versions) Windows 2000 For information on using the AirCard modem with other operating systems, contact Sierra Wireless Technical Support
(support@sierrawireless.com). To install the AirCard modem, you require the following:
Table 2-1: System resource requirements Card slots 1 Type II PCMCIA (PC Card) slot for AirCard 850, 860, 875, 88x 1 ExpressCard/34 or ExpressCard/54 slot for AirCard 88xE USB port 1 USB Type A slot (USB 1.1 or 2.0) Disk drive CD-ROM (not required for TRU-Install) I/O resources 1 IRQ, 40 bytes I/O space Memory 32 MB Note: If you are running Mac OS X, please refer to the Watcher Quick Start Guide for the Mac OS X 10.4.x found at www.sierrawireless.com/mac Rev 1.1 Aug.07 15 AirCard 800 Series Installation Guide Note: Without a valid SIM card and account, your AirCard modem will not work. The SIM card and your account To use your AirCard modem, you need a GSM account and a SIM card. The SIM card is a small chip about the size of a postage stamp that you insert into the AirCard modem. The SIM card contains account information used by the network to validate your access. Depending on how you purchased your AirCard modem, you may already have an account. In this case, the SIM card should be included in your package. Otherwise, your retailer can direct you to a local company that provides GSM service. To activate an account, the service provider needs:
Billing information (such as a credit card number) to collect payment for your network usage. The International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI), though this requirement depends on your service provider. This number, printed on the AirCard modem box and on the AirCard modem label, identifies your AirCard modem model on the GSM network. Note: Keep a written record in a secure place of the account information that your service provider gives you. If you change GSM service providers you will need a new SIM card from your new service provider. You will also need to set up a new profile. See Setting up a profile on page 28 for instructions on creating a new profile. AirCard 850/860 modems 1.

At least one profile must be set up on the AirCard modem before you can use it. The profile(s) may have been stored on the AirCard modem before you purchased it. Otherwise, your service provider should give you all the information you need to set up the profile(s) you require. Depending on your service provider, some or all of this infor mation must be entered into your profile:
User Name Password Access Point Name (APN) Internet Protocol (IP) Address (if the address is not automatically assigned by the network) Use of IP header compression Domain Name Server (DNS) address or addresses Your service provider may give you only one APN, in which case you require only one profile. Some service providers assign separate APNs for separate purposes. For example, some service providers supply one APN to use for Internet browsing and a different APN to use with a Virtual Private Network (VPN). In this case you must set up multiple profiles. The AirCard modem allows for up to sixteen profiles. Most service providers have one or two standard profiles that all or most of their subscribers are expected to use. Most of these standard profiles have been pre-defined in 3G Watcher, allowing you to select a standard profile, rather than creating it manually. One of your profiles must be set as the default profile. This is the one that is used if you select the Connect button without selecting a profile. The default profile is also used if you set the AirCard modem to autoconnect when 3G Watcher launches, but only if the connection type for the default profile has been set to autoconnect. If you are using the AirCard modem to access a network that requires you to provide a password each time you connect, you must set your connection profile to prompt for password
(in which case you must also connect manually). Rev 1.1 Aug.07 27 AirCard 800 Series Installation Guide Setting up a profile 1. Determining whether you have a profile Insert the SIM card into the AirCard modem if it is not already inserted. Insert the AirCard modem into your computer.

Data may be delayed, corrupted (that is, have errors), or be totally lost. Although significant delays or losses of data are rare when wireless devices such as the Sierra Wireless network card are used in a normal manner with a well-constructed network, the Sierra Wireless network card should not be used in situations where failure to transmit or receive data could result in damage of any kind to the user or any other party, including but not limited to personal injury, death, or loss of property. Sierra Wireless and its affiliates accept no responsi bility for damages of any kind resulting from delays or errors in data transmitted or received using the Sierra Wireless network card, or for failure of the Sierra Wireless network card to transmit or receive such data. Safety and hazards The AirCard modem MUST BE POWERED OFF in all areas that may be susceptible to radio interference, in particular:
Prohibited areas Obey all signs and notices and follow all rules and regula tions. Power off the AirCard modem when instructed to do so or when you suspect that it may cause interference or danger. In areas where blasting is in progress Where explosive atmospheres may be present Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are not always clearly marked. Such areas include gas stations, fuel depots, chemical transfer or storage facilities, areas where blasting is in progress, areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust, or metal pow ders, and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your cellular phone or vehicle engine. Near medical or life-support equipment Medical equipment may be susceptible to any form of radio interference. In such areas the AirCard modem can transmit signals that could interfere with this equipment. On board aircraft Rev 1.1 Aug.07 41 AirCard 800 Series Installation Guide In addition to Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) require ments, many airline regulations state that you must sus pend wireless operations before boarding an aircraft. The AirCard modem is capable of transmitting signals that could interfere with various onboard systems and controls. Failure to observe this instruction may lead to suspension or denial of cellular telephone services to the offender, legal action, or both. Some airlines may permit the use of cellular phones while the aircraft is on the ground and the door is open. The Air-
Card modem may be used normally at this time. While operating a vehicle The driver or operator of any vehicle should not use a wireless data device while in control of a vehicle. Doing so detracts from the driver or operator's ability to control and operate the vehicle. In some countries, using such commu nications devices while in control of a vehicle is an offence.
