4. Go into System Preferences -> Network on the Mac. You should see the New Port Detected

message box that says that a new network port called USB Modem has been detected. Press the

OK button to proceed. Sometimes you would not see this message box. This might happen if

the Network panel was launched too fast after enabling the modem mode on the device and the

system did not enumerate the USB bus yet. In this case close the System Preferences, disable

the modem mode on the mobile device then enable it again and repeat this step.

5. Select the USB Modem item in the Show pull-down list.

6. Press the Advanced... button, go to the Modem tab (if you are not already in it), set the Vendor

combo to Other and select either Mobile Stream CDMA option (for CDMA 1xRTT or EvDO

networks) or Mobile Stream GSM option (for GSM GPRS or EDGE networks) in the Modem

pull-down menu. It is recommended to disable the Wait for dial tone before dialing option.

7. Press OK, then select the USB Modem item in the pull-down list, type in the optional

Service Provider name (e.g. Internet via USB Modem), fill in the Account Name,

Password and Telephone Number fields with the values you got from your provider. The dial

number is #777 for CDMA networks and *99# for GSM networks.

8. Now press the Advanced... button, go to the PPP tab, set the Settings item to “Configuration”

and disable the Send PPP Echo packets and Use TCP header compression options in the

dialog then press the OK button. Note that with Verizon you may actually need to enable the

Send PPP Echo packets option to prevent disconnecting after short period of inactivity.

9. Press the OK button to save the network settings.

10. Press the Apply button. In the dialog press the Connect button to start the connection. Note that

for GPRS or EDGE connection the additional message box will appear asking for the access

point name (APN). Provide it and press the OK button to go on with the connection process.

It is assumed that USB Modem was successfully installed as described in the Installation section

connection. These include the user name and password (possible blank). For GPRS or EDGE

connections the access point name (APN) is also required. The dial number is #777 for CDMA

networks and *99# for GSM networks. Note that your GSM operator may provide you with the

slightly different number, e.g. *99***1#. Ignore this and use the number as described here.

2. Connect your mobile device with the USB Modem application installed to the Mac using a

USB cable.
