Using the 3G ExpressCard

To use the ExpressCard, you plug it into the 3G ExpressCard slot, enabling you to dial a wireless call to the 3G wireless service provider network, which acts as an Internet gateway.

To use the 3G ExpressCard as a backup interface, you can use the dialer feature available in the services gateway.

For more information on configuring the 3G ExpressCard, see the JUNOS Software Interfaces and Routing Configuration Guide.

NOTE: The SRX210 Services Gateway does not support hot insertion and removal of the 3G ExpressCard.

Key Features

The 3G ExpressCard provides the following key features:

Onboard Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) — All GSM cards have an onboard SIM. The service provider populates this SIM with the subscriber service parameters.

Onboard nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM) — The Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) cards have an onboard NVRAM.

Activation of new cards through the CLI — You can activate CDMA ExpressCards from the JUNOS CLI.

Unlocking ExpressCards — You can unlock GSM ExpressCards from the JUNOS CLI. If the SIM is locked, you need to unlock it before making a call.
