Internet Access
Internet access can be setup in Windows Dial-Up Networking (DUN) of the computer that the wireless
modem is serving. Setup procedures will vary according to the type of wireless service provider used.
To access
Dial-Up Networking
on your PC, go to
Start > Settings > Network Connections
.
•
CDMA 1x Data
A single DUN number is generally used by all of a wireless provider’s subscribers
throughout its area of coverage – regional, nationwide, continental, etc. Rather than being a
literal phone directory number, as in conventional DUN, this is a code that gives the modem
Internet access.
•
Point-to-Point Data
A circuit-switched data connection is used. Use the dial-up-network (DUN) to make a
conventional V.32 modem connection to any terminating modem at the other end. The
phone number specified in the DUN can be one supplied by the wireless service provider or
another phone number related to a different dialup modem service (e.g., a dialup modem
service phone number from any commercial or private dialup network).
Connecting to a Network for Internet Access
The procedure for connecting to a CDMA network is provided first, followed by connecting to a EDGE
network.
Connecting to a CDMA Network for Internet Access
You will establish an Internet connection through a Windows dial-up session.
Note that your wireless provider will charge you for data usage.

One Muti-Tech wireless CDMA modem
