The following screen capture shows the
Cellular
tab on the ZyWAN-G9 with an EVDO modem.
The following options may be configured to configure for an EVDO cellular network.
OPTION
EXPLANATION
Enabled
Check this box to enable the modem to be used for a PPP
network session. This box is unchecked by default.
PPP Unit Number
If there is more than one cellular modem installed, this field
indicates the order of preference for the modem connections,
starting from zero. If the ZyWAN is unable to connect to a
network with one modem, it will use the next higher number.
This number also becomes part of the internal network name (for
instance, a PPP Unit Number of zero creates an interface „ppp0‟).
Modem Identifier
This is a required text string to uniquely identify each modem in
the configuration. It may be used, for instance, to identify which
cellular carrier is used (Sprint, AT&T, etc.).
The following characters may not be used: ` ) " / and \
Dialstring
This field sets the modem dial string that is used when the
ZyWAN-G9 initiates its connection to the PPP network. This is
optional, as the dial string is pre-programmed for all supported
modems; however, it is pr
ovided in case it‟s necessary to set
differently in some cases.
In addition, each modem configuration displays the following non-configurable information:

EvDO modem modules contain the account activation information stored in the modem rather than on
a removable SIM card. Generally it is the responsibility of the customer to contact the cellular service
provide to set up a billing account for data services being used by the modem. The modem must then
be activated on the given network provider. If the modem has not yet been activated on the network,
the ZyWAN-G9 will automatically attempt three times on startup to activate the modem. If successful,
it will then make a data connection using PPP. If unsuccessful, reboot the ZyWAN-G9 and/or contact
the service provider for assistance.
