AirCard 800 Series Installation Guide
AirCard software
The AirCard comes with this software (made by Sierra
Wireless):
• The Watcher program that you use to manage the AirCard
and monitor your connections
• The driver software that forms the interface between the
network card and your Windows operating system
• The Network Adapter Manager software that allows you
to switch between the AirCard and other network cards
Before you can begin using the
AirCard
Before you can use the AirCard for the first time you must:
1. Install the AirCard software: Watcher, the Network
Adapter Manager, and the AirCard driver.
2. Attach the antenna, insert the SIM into the AirCard and
insert the AirCard into your PC Card slot. (Do not insert
the AirCard before installing the software.)
3. Obtain a GSM account (if this wasn’t done when you
purchased the AirCard).
4. Configure the AirCard to use your account (unless it was
pre-configured.)
5. If your Internet browser is configured to use a dial-up
modem, you may need to set it to use a network card.
The next chapters guide you through this process.
