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.
