Installing

The first steps for installing the 3G modem is relatively simple: open the box, we will find the modem itself, a USB extension cable (very important, and then we'll see why), Corey Ribotsky Philanthropyin charity a pair of user manuals, a credit card where is the SIM card and install the code and a couple of manuals.





If you have already installed a modem on occasion of this kind, especially if it is a phone, we recommend that you remove the drivers in advance of the previous modem, especially if it was a Novatel. To do this, go to System> Library> Extensions and you should delete all files that start with the word Novatel (which is the brand manufacturer's model).

In a second step, go to Library> Receipts and delete the file 3G_Drivers.

Once you have completed these two transactions, you just restart the computer and you're ready to install the new modem. Although not shown, removed (if they had) the "Movistar desktop" will make sure that you install the version that is included with the 3G Modem.

To install the Modem just need to connect to a USB port: but the modem is VERY wide, and because the USB ports on laptops tend to be very together, we need the cable extender supplied with the Modem if you're using the / the other USB ports.

Before connecting, you enter the SIM card: Get him out of the card included in the kit and enter at the bottom of the Modem. There is a silkscreen graphics available, so it's not overly problematic meterla. to remove it, there is a small button and slider that just tenrás pushing upward to get the SIM card and replace it with another power.



At the bottom there is also a small bay for a 1GB MicroSD card that is where you will find the software you've installed.

Once introduced the Modem, along with your card, you will appear on the desktop window with the installer:



The installation package will add the device drivers and software "Movistar desktop." You'll need the password of an administrator account's computer to run it. After installation is necessary to reboot.



Tip: Copy the installer on your hard drive, but run it from the window that you had come up, because when you reboot, you'll also see a portable hard drive "vacuum" on your desktop: is the MicroSD card ... empty. It is very possible that after installing hidden, but if not, at least have the installer on your hard drive, if you find a problem and need to reinstall the software and drivers.

Once the software is installed, you should go to the Applications folder and start the Desktop Mobile. The best thing is to drag the Dock so that it is because, from now on, always available at that location.

By starting the software for Telefonica, you find that you want to or not certain data related to the service, including your operating system, will be broadcast to Telefonica. According to the screenshot attached, these data are treated anonymously.



After entering the PIN, you will see a window indicating that you are connected to the GPRS network and you must click Connect (again asks for an administrator password).

Nothing else initiated the connection, telephone and you do not lose camber added a small pop-up advertising on the matter to their charges.



By the time you're already connected, the flashing red light will turn green model ... so we're already connected to the Internet.

After this first morning we will have the device on the road we'll see how it works, its speed, latency and bandwidth, and that we have coverage in a typical road trip: Madrid - Zaragoza.
