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.
