2: Getting Started | 2 |
Before you can begin using the modem, you must:
1.Insert the modem, to install the enabling software and drivers.
2.Activate an account and configure the modem to use your account (unless the modem has been pre‐activated).
This section provides an overview of this process.
The USB 598 software
The modem comes with the following software:
•Watcher application that you use to manage the modem and monitor your connections on your computer
•The driver software that provides the interface between the modem and your Mac operating system
Detailed instructions for installing the modem and its software are provided in “Installation” on page 17.
Account activation and configuration
To use the modem, you must have an account with a CDMA service provider. The process of setting up an account is called activation.
If you purchased the modem directly from a service provider, you may already have an account; your modem may be pre‐ activated.
Otherwise, run the Watcher software and the Activation Assistant, which guides you through the activation and config‐ uration process. (Depending on your configuration, the software and the activation procedure may start automati‐ cally.)
Configuring the modem involves setting the phone number assigned by your service provider and may involve entering other network parameters and settings such as a user name and password to access services.
