Connecting to your Cellular Provider

The ICX30-HWC supports 3G GSM/GPRS and CDMA (where applicable)
networks. It uses your cellular provider as an ISP (Internet Service Provider) to
connect you to the Internet.
 Cellular devices using GSM technology, such as AT&T, require a SIM

(Subscriber Identity Module) card to be installed in the radio.

 Cellular devices using CDMA technology, such as Verizon, do not require a

SIM card.

2.3.1 Steps of a connection using GSM/GPRS

The Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) in the ICX30-HWC is a smartcard that
securely stores the key identifying a cellular subscriber. Generally, you will only
need to install a SIM once in the life of the cellular gateway, and it may be pre-
installed by your ProSoft Technology Representative.

The SIM card slot is located on the front of the cellular gateway.

1 Insert the SIM card into the ICX30-HWC and cycle power. The SIM card is

read by the ICX30-HWC upon boot up.
