Introducing the MP 875 Modem
• Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS)—
up to 384 kilobits per second (kbps).
• Enhanced Data GSM Environment (EDGE)—up to
236 kbps.
• General Packet Radio Service (GPRS)—up to 56 kbps.
• Circuit switched (dial-up) data connections.
Once a connection is established, you can open your browser
and connect to web sites and access other Internet services
such as e-mail.
Accounts and coverage You must set up an account with a service provider for each
MP 875 modem you install. After installing the MP 875 modem
software, you must configure it to use an account.
The service provider supplies a Subscriber Identity Module
(SIM) card—sometimes called a smart card or smart chip—for
each account. The SIM card provides the MP 875 modem’s
identity on the network. It contains account information and
must be inserted in the MP modem for the MP modem to
operate. (See “Inserting the SIM Card” on page 32.)
The ability of the MP 875 modem to obtain service and the
type of service obtained in any area is determined by several
factors:
Network proximity and HSDPA availability To obt ain
service, you must be within the coverage area of a network
operating in one of the radio frequency bands supported by
the MP 875 modem. The type of connection depends on the
service available in that area. For example, there are areas with
UMTS service in which HSDPA has not yet been implemented.
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.
