Installation" guide available from the Land-Cellular website as you will need to download the drivers. After the CDM819u is installed, it will appear as a new COM port in your system. You can view what COM port the modem installed on from Device Manager. To view the Device Manager, right-click the "My Computer"...
Using Terminal Emulation Software To Talk To The Modem You can access the modem through a terminal emulation program such as HyperTerminal, which should already be installed in your version of Windows. To launch HyperTerminal, click on the Start Menu, go to Programs --> Accessories --> Communications --> HyperTerminal. If prompted, you may name this connection "TEST"...
4.1 Over-the-Air Provisioning The CDM-819s/u supports the cellular service provisioning features called Over-the-Air Service Provisioning (OTASP) and Over-the-Air Parameter Administration (OTAPA). OTASP occurs when a user initiates a call to the service provider. No further commands are required to provision the modem.
Configuring The New DUN Connection: NOTE: Only follow steps 1–9 if you installed using the native Windows driver. The driver from the Land-Cellular website configures these parameters automatically. The new connection should open automatically. If it does not, double-click the icon on the desktop that you just created.
The modem's COM port speed can be lowered to 300bps or raised to 115,200 bps (or 230,400 bps for the CDM819u). Warning: Please ensure your COM port is capable of 230,400 data rates before changing the modem to this speed.
port. Disable it if you are not using this function. Often, an IR port can interfere with the COM port even after you successfully connect. Device Manager may indicate that there is no conflict between the two, but disabling the IR port may still help. If your system's COM port appears to be locked, you may have to shut down and reboot your system.
• Attempt to relocate the modem and/or antenna to receive a stronger signal. • Make certain that the modem has been provisioned by the cellular network. To provision the modem please see the Appendix for activation instructions for your carrier. NOTE: Running diagnostics from Modem Properties may not work if the computer attempts to communicate with the modem at an improper baud rate.
changes will remain even if the modem loses power. Now that the modem is properly configured, you may attempt activate the modem as described in section 4.0 and the Appendix. Frequently Asked Questions Below are some of the most Frequently Asked Questions. The answers contained herein may address many of the questions you could have about our product.
Modem? AT+IPR=<baud rate> Valid data rates are: 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 14400, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200 bps. Additional valid data rates for USB devices only, such as the CDM819u: 230400 bps For example, AT+IPR=115200 WARNING: Only change to 230,400 if you have a serial COM port that supports that speed.
7.13 What Is Dormancy? The CDMA packet data service supports a dormancy feature. When no data is being transferred on the cellular link for a period of time, the RF traffic channel is released. However the PPP states and the IP address are retained. To the end-user, the network connection will remain up, but the packet data call timer will stop.
• Land-Cellular Proprietary AT Commands The parameters set by the various AT commands in this section are applied to all subsequent calls and will be used each time you place a call. As such, your custom settings (if not saved in a profile) will be available until you power down the modem.
10.4 Basic AT Parameters These commands control the basic configuration of the modem. The parameters can only be read back by the AT&V command when in command state. The following table shows the command format. Table 3: Basic AT Parameters Table Parameter Description Do not echo commands in command state or in online state...

18.1.2 Sprint PCS 18.1.2.1 IOTA Provisioning The 3GPD parameters are easily configured using the Over The Air Provisioning. Sprint PCS uses IOTA (IP-based Over The Air) for their Over The Air provisioning system. IOTA uses packet data calls to transfer the configuration data to the phone. These IOTA data sessions can be Network initiated or Client initiated.
18.1.3 Bell Mobility (Canada) 18.1.3.1 Provisioning Bell Mobility uses a manual process for provisioning their modems. The ESN is entered into their database and an MDN and MIN number are assigned to the account. The MDN is the number that is used to contact the modem and the MIN is an internal number that is used for cellular network routing.
18.1.4 Western Wireless 18.1.4.1 Provisioning Western Wireless uses a manual process for provisioning their modems. The ESN is entered into their database and an MDN and MIN number are assigned to the account. The MDN is the number that is used to contact the modem and the MIN is an internal number that is used for cellular network routing.
18.1.5 Alltel 18.1.5.1 Provisioning Alltel uses both OTAPA and a manual process for provisioning their modems. The OTAPA process is for voice phones and requires the user to follow a number of prompts and enter buttons. This is not normally possible with a modem and so the manual process must be followed. The ESN is entered into their database and an MDN and MIN number are assigned to the account.
