AirCard 800 Series USB Modem Installation Guide
Set up a profile
To determine whether you have a profile:
1. Insert the SIM into the AirCard USB modem if it is not
already inserted. (See “Insert the SIM card” on page 16.)
2. Insert the AirCard USB modem into the USB slot.
3. If Watcher is not running, start Watcher by selecting
Start > Programs > Sierra Wireless >3G Watcher > 3G Watcher
or double-clicking the desktop shortcut .
If Watcher detects that no profile has been set up, you are
prompted, “Would you like to configure a profile now?”
Select
Yes.
If this prompt does not appear, your AirCard USB modem
may have been preconfigured. You can verify that you
have a profile by selecting
Tools > Connections to access the
Profiles tab of the Connections window, which lists all
profiles.
To create a profile:
1. On the Connections window, Click the add button and
click
WWAN profile.
2. If you want to use a pre-defined profile, in the Profile Name
field, select the profile from the drop-down list. Then skip
to Step 5.
3. Complete the fields in the Profile window by entering a
Profile Name (any meaningful description of the profile,
such as the name of your service provider) and
User Name,
Password, and/or APN, if applicable.
4. Select whether you want to make connections automati-
cally or manually, or whether you are required to provide
a password each time you make a connection:
· If you select Autoconnect for the default profile, a connection
is established automatically whenever you insert the
AirCard USB modem.
· If you select Manual, you must select the Connect button
on the main Watcher window to make a connection.
· If you select Prompt for Password, you must select Connect
and enter a password to make a connection. Use this
option if you have an external device that provides a
time-scheduled secure password for your corporate
network.
5. If you want to set Watcher to launch your Internet
browser, VPN, or any other program automatically, or if
your service provider specified an IP address or DNS
