Active NAM*

The AirCard allows you to configure and

Profile

use up to two accounts (with two different

 

phone numbers). This may be useful to

 

users who want, for example, to have one

 

account for business calls and one for

 

personal calls.

 

This drop-down menu lists these items:

 

Auto-Select,NAM 1, and NAM 2. If one

 

account has been activated, NAM 1 has a

 

phone number next to it, and if two

 

accounts have been activated, NAM 1 and

 

NAM 2 have phone numbers.

 

When Auto-Selectis in effect, the AirCard

 

uses the account most appropriate to your

 

location, based on the coverage of your

 

accounts.

 

To configure a second account (where only

 

one account has been activated):

 

1. Select the option NAM 2 from this

 

drop-down menu and tap OK.

 

2. The Activation Wizard should launch.

 

You can then configure a second

 

account.

 

If two accounts are configured, both phone

 

numbers should be displayed in this drop-

 

down menu. To switch from one account to

 

the other:

 

1. Select the phone number from the

 

drop-down menu.

 

*NAM stands for Number Assignment

 

Module and is information stored in the

 

flash memory of the AirCard. The

 

information includes your phone number

 

and parameters specific to your service

 

provider.
