3G Data Modem
The 3G data modem is an option for Mesa Geo models, adding
Wide Area Network data modem capability to the Mesa. The
modem is installed at the factory.
The modem is a cellular data modem, type GSM/UMTS. It is
five band modem compatible. The modem operates in different
modes depending on the wireless provider and the signal
strength. Data speeds will vary anywhere from 10 or 20 Kbps
when using GPRS to over 1 Mbps when using HSDPA.
Set up a Data Account with a Wireless Provider
Contact a wireless provider to set up data service for the
cellular data modem and obtain an account and SIM card. You
will need to provide the following information when setting up
an account:
1. Billing Information and business ID such as your Federal
Tax I.D. or VAT number.
2. The wireless services required. Specify that you need data
service only. You do not need voice or messaging service.
3. You may be asked for the modem’s IMEI number, which
can be found here: Start > Settings > System > System
Information > 3G Modem with the modem powered on.
4. You may be asked to provide the modem’s model number.
This number allows the carrier to verify this modem as one
of its approved models. If asked for this by the carrier, it is
a Juniper Systems Mesa.
Install the SIM Card
When you set up your wireless account, you are given a SIM
card. To insert or remove a card follow these steps:
1. Suspend or power off the Mesa if there is no battery in
compartment 2.
2. The SIM card slot is located in battery compartment 1.
Loosen the screws to the door and remove it.
