The 3G CDMA network interface module (NIM) device has been designed to operate with

the antennas listed below, and having a maximum gain of 2 dB. Antennas not included in

this list or having a gain greater than 2 dB are strictly prohibited for use with this device.

The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.

Proper antennas are: Pulse/Larson Dipole Antenna, Part Number: SPDA24850/1900

To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should

be chosen so that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that

permitted for successful communication.

CONNECTING TO THE CELLULAR NETWORK

By default, your NetVanta 3200G 3G Wireless Router is shipped with DHCP, domain naming

system (DNS), and the demand interface enabled. This default configuration allows the user to

connect to the cellular network without any further configuration.

Once the 3G router is activated on the cellular network, ping a host device to test connectivity.

Connecting to the cellular network generally takes two ping cycles to complete. When the 3G

router has successfully connected, the demand interface should change its state to up.

CONFIGURE YOUR APPLICATION

For more detail on configuring your system, refer to the AOS Command Reference Guide (article

number 2219) and Wireless Configuration Guide (article number 2078) provided on the AOS

Documentation CD included in your shipment or available online at http://kb.adtran.com.

Important: For additional details on product features, specifications, installation, and

safety, refer to the appropriate hardware installation guide on the AOS Documentation CD

shipped with the base unit and available online at http://kb.adtran.com.

GETTING ACELLULAR ACCOUNT

Before you attempt to connect to the 3G cellular network, make sure you have subscribed to an

appropriate CDMA service plan with your wireless service provider. The electronic serial number

(ESN) will be needed for this process. The ESN can be obtained by using the show interface

cellular hardware command at the command line interface (CLI) prompt. Refer to page 3 for

instructions on accessing the AOS CLI. The following is sample output of the show interface

cellular hardware command showing the ESN:

#show interface cellular 1/1 hardware

Electronic Serial Number (ESN): 0x12345678

Preferred Roaming List (PRL) Version: 12345

Mobile Directory Number (MDN): 0123456789

Mobile Station ID (MSID): 0123456789

System ID (SID): 1234

Network ID (NID): 12

GETTING STARTED

Once you have subscribed to a CDMA service plan, you must activate the NetVanta 3G CDMA

NIM. Two activation and configuration methods are available for your NIM:

• Web-based graphical user interface (GUI)

•CLI

The GUI lets you configure the unit’s settings and provides online guidance and explanations for

each setting. However, using the AOS CLI may be necessary for more advanced configurations.

ACCESS THE GUI

You can access the GUI from any Web browser on your network by following these steps:

1. Connect the router to your PC using the Ethernet port on the front of the unit and an Ethernet

cross-over cable.

2. During bootup, your PC will obtain an IP address from the NetVanta unit’s Dynamic Host

Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. By default, the DHCP server is enabled.

3. Enter the unit’s IP address in your browser address line. The default IP address is 10.10.10.1.

4. You will then be prompted for the user name and password (the default settings are admin and

password).

5. The initial GUI screen appears.

ACTIVATE THE 3G CDMA NIM USING THE GUI

To activate the 3G CDMA NIM and cellular interface using the GUI, follow these steps:

1. Select Physical Interfaces from the System menu.

2. Select the Cellular interface to modify from the menu.

3. Select Activate in the Maintenance dialogue box.

4. When the activation call is in progress, the WWAN LED on the 3G NIM on the back of the 3G

router will be flashing constantly. When the activation call is complete, the WWAN LED will stop

flashing. At this point, the Status dialogue box will indicate if the activation call was successful.

ACCESS THE CLI USING THE CONSOLE PORT

To establish a connection to the NetVanta router CONSOLE port, you need the following items:

• VT100 terminal or PC (with VT100 terminal emulation software)

• Straight-through serial cable with a DB-9 (male) connector on one end and the appropriate

interface for your terminal or PC communication port on the other end

1. Connect the DB-9 (male) connector of your serial cable to the CONSOLE port on the rear panel of

the unit and connect the other end of the serial cable to the terminal or PC.

2. Once the unit is powered up, open a VT100 terminal session using the following settings:

9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity bits, and 1 stop bit. Press <Enter> to activate the AOS CLI.

3. Enter enable at the >prompt.

4. Enter the enable password when prompted. The default password is password.

ACCESS THE CLI USING ATELNET SESSION

To establish a connection to the NetVanta router using a Telnet session, you need the following

items:

• VT100 terminal or PC (with VT100 terminal emulation software)

• Ethernet cross-over cable

1. Connect the router to your PC using the Ethernet port on the front of the unit and an Ethernet

cross-over cable.

2. During bootup, your PC will obtain an IP address from the NetVanta unit’s DHCP server. By

default, the DHCP server is enabled.

3. Open a Telnet session by going to Start > Run and entering telnet 10.10.10.1.

4. You will be prompted for a password. The default password is password.

5. Enter enable at the >prompt.

6. Enter the enable password when prompted. The default password is password.

ACTIVATING THE 3G CDMA NIM USING THE CLI

To activate the 3G CDMA NIM and cellular interface using the CLI, follow these steps:

1. Enter config terminal at the #prompt.

2. At the (config)# prompt, enter interface cellular 1/1 to access the configuration parameters for

the cellular interface.

3. At the (config-cellular 1/1)# prompt, enter cdma activate [oma-dm | otasp]. If you are

connecting to the Sprint network, use the oma-dm keyword. If you are connecting to the Verizon

network, use the otasp keyword.

4. If the activation is successful, you will see the Activation SUCCESSFUL message in the

command output. If you see the Activation FAILED message, repeat activation Step 3 until you

are successful.

5. Enter exit to exit the cellular interface commands and return to the Global Configuration mode.
