Phone Number - The Phone Number to dial to establish a network connection.
D-Link software helps input this number correctly.

Software Installation
The process and appearance of certain software elements in Windows Vista will be
somewhat different than in 2000/XP. These differences are minor and should not limit
the functionality of the DWM-652 in any way.
New Hardware Detection
Windows 2000/XP
Once the DWM-652 is connected, a dialog box should pop-up from the Toolbar
Hardware Connection Icon. The device will be identied as the D-Link DWM-652
3.5G HSDPA Utility.
Windows Vista
In Vista, a pop-up window may appear. Click
Allow to proceed.
After the rst pop-up, all other aspects for
software installation will be identical in all
compatible versions of Windows.
Software installation should proceed automatically. If it does not, it may be initiated
from My Computer, where the DWM-652 will be identied as a CD-ROM device.
Sometimes a restart will occur during installation. If it does, reinitiate installation from
My Computer.
