Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Axesstel SJE10 WIFI Smart kit (the Smart Jacket).
This user manual will help you setup, configure and outline best practices for
maximizing your wireless home network performance with the Smart Jacket.
Please be sure to read through this User Manual completely, and pay special
attention to the section entitled “Placement of your Smart Jacket for Optimal
Performance” on page 2.
Placement of your Smart Jacket for Optimal Performance
Your wireless connection will be stronger the closer your computer is to your
Smart Jacket. Typical indoor operating range for Wi-Fi wireless devices is
between 100 and 200 feet. For HSUPA operation, a line-of-sight with the radio
base station is preferred and yields the strongest signal strength.
In the same way, your wireless connection and performance will degrade
somewhat as the distance between your Smart Jacket and connected devices
increases, as well as between the Smart Jacket and the radio base station. This
may or may not be noticeable to you. As you move farther from your Smart Jacket,
connection speed may decrease. Factors that can weaken signals simply by
getting in the way of your network’s radio waves are metal appliances or
obstructions, and walls.
Note: While some of the items listed below can affect network performance, they
will not prohibit your wireless network from functioning; if you are concerned that
your network is not operating at its maximum effectiveness, this checklist may
help.
1. Smart Jacket Placement
Place your Smart Jacket, the central connection point of your network, as close as
possible to windows or in rooms at the outer side of your house. If you also use
the Wi-Fi feature of the Smart Jacket, it should be placed near the center of your
wireless network devices.
To achieve the best wireless network coverage:
•Ensure that your Smart Jacket’s networking antennas are parallel to each
other, and are positioned vertically (toward the ceiling). If your Smart

5
Jacket itself is positioned vertically, point the antennas as much as
possible in an upward direction.
•In multistory homes, place the Smart Jacket on an upper floor.
•Try not to place the Smart Jacket near a cordless phone
2. Avoid Obstacles and Interference
Avoid placing your Smart Jacket near devices that may emit radio “noise,” such as
microwave ovens. Dense objects that can inhibit wireless communication include:
•Refrigerators
•Washers and/or dryers
•Metal cabinets
•Large aquariums
•Metallic-based, UV-tinted windows
If your wireless signal seems weak in some spots, try to move the Smart Jacket to
another location while observing the signal strength indicator. Since you may not
know the location of an WCDMA radio base station serving your Smart Jacket, try
to call your service provider and ask for the nearest base station of your home.
Try placing the Smart Jacket closest and unobstructed to that base station.
Product Overview
In minutes you will be able to connect your computers to the Internet, share your
Internet connection and network your computers. The following is a list of features
that make your new Axesstel Smart Jacket an ideal solution for your home or
small office network. Implementation of these features depends on the particular
service provider and account features you have chosen.
Some features described in this manual may not be supported by your service
provider or may not be available with your network account. For details of the
services and accounts available, contact your service provider.
WCDMA 3G services
The Smart Jacket operates over the WCDMA 3G technology that provides a
variety of connectivity features when you plug in the EU230(the 3.75G Express
card/34) to the Smart Jacket, depending on your service provider and account:
¾HSDPA Supports Internet connections with data rates up to 7.2 Mbps
(downlink from the network) and 3.6 Mbps (downlink to the network).

6
Actual speed depends on the network conditions.
¾HSUPA Provides up-link performance of up to 5.76Mbit/s. Actual speed
depends on the network conditions.
Once the connection is established, you can open your browser and connect to
any web site that is accessible through the Internet, or access other Internet
services (such as email).
The connection is “active” when data transmission is occurring. If data
transmission stops for a period of time (determined by the network), the
connection becomes “dormant”; see page 26.
Plug-and-Play
Smart Jacket has been provisioned at the factory for use with a particular service
provider. This sets the Smart Jacket to use particular radio channels and enables
services specific for that provider. Although the Smart Jacket comes with WEB-
GUI, you don’t have to install and use them if you simply want to connect to the
Internet, assuming that your Smart Jacket has been activated with the network
(The process of setting up your account is called activation. Activation involves
action by the service provider and configuration of the Smart Jacket.)
Once the Smart Jacket has been activated, simply connect your computer with
the Smart Jacket by wireless. Then you will have controls of the Smart Jacket
performances and settings.
Works with Both PCs and Mac® Computers
The Smart Jacket supports a variety of networking environments including Mac
OS® 9.x, X v10.x, AppleTalk®, Linux®, Windows® 98, Me, NT®, 2000, and XP,
and others. All that is needed is an Internet browser and a network adapter that
supports TCP/IP (the standard language of the Internet).
Top-View LED Display
Lighted LEDs on the top of the Smart Jacket and EU230 Card indicate which
function is in operation. You can know the status in finding EU230’ LED(the 3.75G
Express card/34).

Web-Based Advanced User Interface
You can set up the Smart Jacket’s advanced functions easily through web
browser, without having to install additional software onto the computer. There are
no disks to install or keep track of and, best of all, you can make changes and
perform setup functions from any computer on the network quickly and easily.
NAT IP Address Sharing
Your Smart Jacket employs Network Address Translation (NAT) to share the
single IP address assigned to you by your Internet Service Provider while saving
the cost of adding IP addresses to your Internet service account.
Built-In Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
Built-In Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) on-board makes for the
easiest possible connection of a network. The DHCP server will assign IP
addresses to each computer automatically so there is no need for a complicated
networking setup.
Integrated 802.11g Wireless Access Point
802.11g is an exciting new wireless technology that achieves data rates up to
54Mbps, nearly five times faster than 802.11b.
MAC Address Filtering
For added security, you can set up a list of MAC addresses (unique client
identifiers) that are allowed access to your network. Every computer has its own
MAC address. Simply enter these MAC addresses into a list using the Web-Based
Advanced User Interface and you can control access to your network.

The Smart Jacket
The Smart Jacket provides your computer with a connection to the GSM/WCDMA
wireless network. Every GSM network operates on one of four radio frequency
bands (850MHz, 900MHz and 1800/1900MHz) and WCDMA for three frequency
bands(850MHz, 1900MHz and 2100Mhz). The Smart Jacket is available in five
configurations:
A GSM/WCDMA service provider account
Companies that operate GSM/WCDMA networks and provide access to these
networks are called service providers. To use the Smart Jacket, you must have an
account with a GSM/WCDMA service provider.
Each service provider has its own pricing options. There may be flat rate accounts,
which provide you a maximum number of minutes of network usage for a fixed
monthly fee. There may be accounts for which you are charged for network usage
by the minute or by the amount of data transmitted.
Each Modem has been provisioned at the factory for use with a particular service
provider. This sets the Smart Jacket to use particular radio channels and enables
services specific for that provider.
The process of setting up your account is called activation. Activation involves
action by the service provider and configuration of the Smart Jacket.
The WCDMA wireless network
This is the worldwide infrastructure providing the radio coverage that allows you to
stay connected. Made up of radio towers and a variety of network switches,
routers, and servers, the network is an interconnection of many service providers.
Note: More information about WCDMA networks is available on the WCDMA
Development Group web site, www.cdg.org.
There are WCDMA networks that operate in the frequency bands supported by
the Smart Jacket throughout North America and parts of Latin America, Asia, and
Europe. However, each service provider operates a network that covers a limited
geographical area within the overall WCDMAcoverage area.
Note: Some service providers have coverage maps on their web sites.

11

¾Password: no default value; end user could key in password if that is
necessary.

17
Configuring the Wireless Network Settings
SJE10(Smart Jacket) only
Clicking on the header of the “Wireless Settings” tab will take you to the
“Wireless Settings” header page. From this page, the Smart Jacket’s Wi-Fi
router wireless radio can be enabled or disabled (the default setting is enabled).
There are options that allow you to make changes to the Wi-Fi wireless network
settings.
Changing the Wireless Network Name (SSID)
To identify your wireless network, a name called the SSID (Service Set
Identifier) is used. The default SSID of the Smart Jacket is “SJE10”. You can
change this to anything you want to or you can leave it unchanged. If there are
other wireless networks operating in your area, you will want to make sure that
your SSID is unique (does not match that of another wireless network in the
area). To change the SSID, type in the SSID that you want to use in the “SSID”
field and click “Apply Changes”. The change is immediate. If you make a
change to the SSID, your wireless-equipped computers may also need to be
reconfigured to connect to your new network name. Refer to the documentation
of your wireless network adapter for information on making this change.
Using the Wireless Mode Switch

18
Your Smart Jacket can operate in three different wireless modes: “g and b”, “g
only”, and “b only”.
g and b Mode
In this mode, the Smart Jacket is compatible with 802.11b and 802.11g
wireless clients simultaneously. This is the factory default mode and ensures
successful operation with all Wi-Fi compatible devices. If you have a mix of
802.11b and 802.11g clients in your network, we recommend setting the
Smart Jacket to g and b mode. This setting should only be changed if you
have a specific reason to do so.
g only Mode
g only mode works with 802.11g clients only. This mode is recommended only
if you want to prevent 802.11b clients from accessing your network. To switch
modes, select the desired mode from the “Wireless Mode” drop-down box.
Then, click “Apply Changes”.
b only Mode
We recommend you DO NOT use this mode unless you have a very specific
reason to do so. This mode exists only to solve unique problems that may
occur with some 802.11b client adapters and is NOT necessary for
interoperability of 802.11g and 802.11b standards.
When to use b only Mode
In some cases, older 802.11b clients may not be compatible with 802.11g
wireless. These adapters tend to be of inferior design and may use older
drivers or technology. Switching to this mode can solve problems that
sometimes occur with these clients. If you suspect that you are using a client
adapter that falls into this category of adapters, first check with the adapter
vendor to see if there is a driver update. If there is no driver update available,
switching to b only mode may fix your problem. Please note that switching to
b only mode will decrease 802.11g performance.
Changing the Wireless Channel
There are a number of operating channels you can choose from. In the United
States and Australia, there are 11 channels. In the United Kingdom and most
of Europe, there are 13 channels. In a small number of other countries, there
are other channel requirements. Your Smart Jacket is configured to operate
on the proper channels for the country you reside in. The default channel is 11
(unless you are in a country that does not allow channel 11). The channel can

19
be changed if needed. If there are other wireless networks operating in your
area, your network should be set to operate on a channel that is different than
the other wireless networks. For best performance, use a channel that is at
least five channels away from the other wireless network. For instance, if
another network is operating on channel 11, then set your network to channel
6 or below. To change the channel, select the channel from the drop-down list.
Click “Apply Changes”. The change is immediate.
Securing your Wi-Fi® Network
Here are a few different ways you can maximize the security of your wireless
network and protect your data from prying eyes and ears. This section is
intended for the home, home office, and small office user. At the time of this
User Manual’s publication, there are two encryption methods available.
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a common protocol that adds security to
all Wi-Fi compliant wireless products. WEP was designed to give wireless
networks the equivalent level of privacy protection as a comparable wired
network.
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) is a new Wi-Fi standard that was designed to
improve upon the security features of WEP. To use WPA security, the drivers
and software of your wireless equipment must be upgraded to support WPA.
These updates will be found on the wireless vendor’s website. There are two
types of WPA security, WPA-PSK (no server) and WPA (with radius server).
WPA-PSK (no server) uses what is known as a pre-shared key as the network
key. A network key is basically a password that is between eight and 63
characters long. It can be a combination of letters, numbers, or characters.
Each client uses the same network key to access the network. Typically, this
is the mode that will be used in a home environment.
Maintenance: Router Status
Clicking on the header of the “Router Status” tab will take you to the “Router
Status” header page. A quick description of the functions can be found here.
1. IP Address
The “IP address” is the internal IP address of the Smart Jacket. The default IP
address is “192.168.1.1”. To access the web based Advanced User Interface,
