1) Enter the Dial String:

#777 for CDMA modems

*99# for HSPA modems (Bell Mobility and Telus)

*99***1# for other GSM modems (EDGE and HSPA)
2) Enter the User Name and Password if provided by your cellular carrier otherwise, leave them empty.
3) Select Always On or On Demand (explained below) depending on the desired connection initiation behavior.
4) Enter APN information that was provided to you if you are using a GSM modem. The APN field is only shown when
BVDM is connected to a GSM (EDGE and HSPA) modem.
When the modem is set to Always On, it will attempt to maintain a permanent connection to the cellular network on its
own. Most applications will require the modem to be remotely accessible at any time, and will require the modem to be
set to Always On.
When the modem is set to On Demand, the modem does not connect to the cellular network unless told to by the
attached terminal. If disconnected from the cellular network, it will not attempt to reconnect. The most common On
Demand scenario is when using the serial port in order to establish a PPP session through a Dial-Up Networking (DUN)
connection.
Unless you are sure the modem should be set to On Demand, the modem should be set to Always On.
4.2.2 Testing the connection
Once you've finished entering the settings, and once a connection is established (depending on the connection initiation
behavior described above), navigate to DIAG (Modem Diagnostic) and click on Refresh button: the modem's WAN IP
should be displayed as outlined in Figure 8. This is the IP address that has been assigned to the modem by the cellular
carrier. At this time, the modem's WAN light will stay on as long as the connection is maintained.
Notes:

HSPA/EDGE: no activation is required since all the connection and network information is contained in
the SIM card.

HSPA/EDGE: Please note that the modem needs to be reset after a SIM card is inserted.

Please note that some carriers prefer to have the modem phone number hidden. In this case, the
modem phone number is not displayed in BVDM.
