Using the Wireless Modem (Optional)
Introduction
This chapter describes how to open and close 1xEV-DO data connections.
Connections over a 1xEV-DO network provide asymmetric data rates.
Maximum throughput for the uplink direction is 153.6 kbps, while maximum
throughput for the downlink is 2.4 Mbps.
Only packet-switched data calls are supported by 1xEV-DO systems. No voice
calls are supported over 1xEV-DO. Service providers need to deploy both a
1xEV-DO system and a 1xRTT/IS-95 system (on separate frequencies) if they
want to provide both voice and packet data services.
Assuming that the service provider offers 1xRTT and 1xEV-DO services, the
modem is capable of monitoring for incoming voice calls and SMS messages
while in an active or dormant 1xEV-DO data connection. If a voice call or
SMS message is received, the modem may suspend the data transmission and
reply to the incoming event. Once the voice call or SMS message are complete,
data transmission may be resumed.
Connecting Using the 1XEV-DO Modem
Your computer can send and receive data via a mobile network using
the CDMA protocol.
To send or receive data over a CDMA network, you must have an
account with a service provider that supports CDMA data services, and
the service provider must enable the data features on your account.
To connect to an ISP or dial in to a specific computer, you must
configure a connection for that service on your computer.
