Watcher Help for Mac OS X

Select networks manually and automatically

Depending on your location, you may be within the coverage area of several

networks. By default, the modem automatically selects a network based on your

account and network availability. If you prefer, you can set Watcher to display a list

of detected networks, from which you can select the network you want to use.

Your ability to obtain service on any network is dependent on your account.

To change the network selection mode:

1. Select

AirCard Watcher > Preferences... > Network.

2. Beside Selection Mode, select one of these options:

Automatic — The modem selects the network to use.

Manual — The modem scans the area and displays a list of carriers

(networks) in your area. After a few minutes, if the modem does not find any

networks, it switches to Automatic. If there is an exclamation mark (!) after

the network name, you may not be able to connect to that network.

SIM Security

The SIM (Subscriber Identity Module), USIM (Universal Subscriber Identity

Module), or MegaSIM card contains information used by the network to identify

your device. It also allows you to access your subscribed services. Generally,

when you obtain an account, your carrier gives you a SIM card.

In addition to other data, your unique International Mobile Subscriber Identity

(IMSI) is stored in your SIM. The IMSI, sometimes called your phone number,

identifies your account to your carrier. Depending on your carrier, you may be

able to use the same SIM card in other devices, such as mobile phones.

Insert and remove the SIM card

For instructions on how to insert and remove the SIM card, refer to the

documentation that came with your modem.

PIN assigned to the SIM

When you obtain your SIM, you should be given a PIN (Personal Identification

Number). The PIN is used to enable SIM security, which prevents others from

using your account should the SIM be lost or stolen.

If SIM security is enabled, you are asked to enter your PIN before you can access

Watcher.

To enable SIM security:

1. Select

AirCard Watcher > Preferences... > SIM.

2. Select

Enable SIM Security.

3. Click OK.

4. Enter the PIN.

5. Click

OK.
