Accessing the Internet with a 3G USB Modem

Key

Note: Only administrator-level users can install software under Windows

Embedded Standard. However, when the installation is complete, all users
will have the possibility to access the Internet using a USB modem key.

You can connect an optional 3G USB modem key to your unit to have a
wireless access to the Internet.

When you receive your modem key, it contains no Subscriber Identity
Module (SIM) card. This means that you will need to:

Purchase a compatible and unlocked SIM card from a provider offering
3G services. If you need more information on the 3G coverage in your
area, contact your regional EXFO sales representative.

Have the card activated (you must subscribe to a package of mobile
services).

Insert the card in the modem key.

The very first time you connect a USB modem key to your unit, the AirCard
Watcher application will be installed automatically on your unit. You will
use this application to establish a connection with the mobile network
whenever you want to work with your USB modem key. You only need to
install this application once.
