Chapter 6 MC9598 - CDMA EvDO
Configuration
Introduction
This chapter explains how to activate an MCMC9598-K on a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) wireless
network and establish settings.
CDMA is a form of wireless multiplexing in which data (e.g., Short Message Service) can be sent over multiple
frequencies simultaneously, optimizing the use of available bandwidth. In an CDMA system data is broken into
packets, each of which are given a unique identifier, so that they can be sent out over multiple frequencies and
then re-built in the correct order by the receiver.
When using the MC9598-K as a phone, services can include speed dialing, call tracking, voice mail, call
forwarding, conference calling and caller ID, depending on the type of service.
The integrated phone in the MC9598-K can also be used as a modem to connect the MC9598-K to an ISP or work
network. The MC9598-K can connect to the Internet or work network using Cellular Line, or using the modem
specified by the mobile phone service provider.
