USB 2.0 Micro-AB connector complies with USB Version 2.0 for
high speed operation
Can be configured to operate in one of two modes:
Virtual Ethernet Port: The MP70 behaves as if the PC were
•
connected to an Ethernet port, allowing access to the Internet
and the MP70's internal web server. This is the default setting.
Virtual Serial Port: The MP70 behaves as if it was connected
•
to a standard serial port. The primary use of this interface is for
the AT command line interface of ALEOS and for diagnostic
access to the radio module.
By default, the USB port is configured as a virtual Ethernet port.
A Windows driver must be installed on the PC in order to support
USB use. The drivers are available for download on Sierra
Wireless' support web site, http://www.sierrawireless.com/en/

The ALEOS Software Configuration User Guide contains the
details of USB mode configuration and driver installation.
