Introducing the MP Modem
The ability of the MP modem to obtain service and the type of service obtained in any area is determined by several factors:
Network proximity and
Roaming If you are within the coverage of a network operated by a different service provider, your ability to obtain service depends on whether a roaming agreement exists between your service provider and the one operating your current local network. There may be additional fees for roaming service. Contact your reseller or service provider for information.
Account provisions Your account may restrict usage of certain networks or may limit your connection time or data transmission.
Supported CDMA radio frequencies
CDMA networks operate on two sets of radio frequency bands. The MP 595 modem is a dual‐band product that operates on both bands:
•1900 MHz (also called the PCS, or Personal Communica‐ tions Services, band)
•800 MHz (Cellular band)
Receive diversity
The MP 595 modem supports receive diversity for improved signal reception. Receive diversity uses two antennas to enhance the quality of the signal, but does not extend the MP modem’s coverage area.
Connection methods
You can connect the MP modem to a USB, Ethernet (RJ45), or serial (DB9) port on a computer. When connected to a USB or Ethernet port, the MP modem behaves like a network card.
When connected to a serial port, the MP modem behaves like a dial‐up modem.
