INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Axesstel MV500V series EV-DO Modem with VoIP
feature (the Modem). This user manual will help you setup, configure and outline
best practices for maximizing your wireless home network performance with the
Modem. Please be sure to read through this User Manual completely, and pay
special attention to the section below entitled “Placement of Your Modem for
Optimal Performance.”
PLACEMENT OF YOUR MODEM FOR OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE
The closer your computer is to your Modem, the stronger your wireless
connection will be. Typical indoor operating range for Wi-Fi wireless devices is
between 100 and 200 feet. For EV-DO operation, placing the Modem in a line of
sight with the radio base station will yield the strongest signal.
Similarly, your wireless connection and performance will degrade a bit as the
distance increases between your Modem and connected devices and between
your Modem and radio base station. This change may or may not be noticeable to
you.
As you move your computer farther from your Modem, connection speed may
decrease. This may happen due to walls, metal appliances or other elements
obstructing your network’s radio waves and weakening its signals..
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 maximum effectiveness, this checklist may help.
1. Modem Placement
Place your Modem, the central connection point of your network, as close as
possible to windows or in rooms along the perimeter of your house. If you also
use the Wi-Fi feature of the Modem, place the Modem centrally within your
network of wireless devices..
To achieve the best wireless network coverage:
MV500V SERIES (VER. STD 0.6)
5
• Ensure that your Modem’s CDMA networking antennas are parallel to
each other and positioned vertically (pointed toward the ceiling). If your
Modem is positioned vertically, point the antennas upward as best as
possible.
• In multi-story homes, place the Modem on an upper floor.
• Try not to place the Modem near a cordless phone (MV500-series only).
2. Avoid Obstacles and Interference
Avoid placing your Modem near microwave ovens and other devices that may
emit radio “noise.” 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, move the Modem to another
location while observing the signal strength indicator. Since you may not know the
location of an EV-DO radio base station serving your Modem, call your service
provider and ask for the location of the nearest base station to your home. Place
your Modem as close as possible to that base station and in an unobstructed line
of sight.
3. Cordless Phones
If the performance of your wireless network is impaired after addressing the above
issues, and if you have a cordless phone:
• Move the cordless phone away from your Modem and wireless-enabled
computers.
• Unplug and remove the battery from any cordless phone that operates on
the 2.4GHz band (check the manufacturer’s literature for this information).
If this fixes the problem, your phone may be interfering with your wireless
network’s performance.
• If your phone supports channel selection, change the channel on the
phone to the farthest channel from your wireless network. For example,
set the phone to channel 1 and set your Modem to channel 11. See your
MV500V SERIES (VER. STD 0.6)
6
phone’s user manual for detailed instructions.
If necessary, consider switching to a 900MHz cordless phone.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
In minutes, you will be able to connect your computers to the Internet, share your
Internet connection and network your computers. And you will be able to make a
call through VoIP. The following is a list of features that make your new Axesstel
EV-DO Modem 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.
CDMA 3G Services
Your Modem operates on CDMA 3G technology that provides a variety of
connectivity features. Depending on your service provider and account, you may
be able to access some or all of these features:
• 1xEV-DO Rev. A supports Internet connections with data rates up to 3.1
Mbps (on the downlink from the network) and 1.8 Mbps (on the uplink
to the network). Average data rates are 600–1300 Kbps (on the
downlink) and 300–400 Kbps (on the uplink). Actual speed depends on
network conditions.
• 1xEV-DO Rev. 0 supports Internet connections with data rates up to 2.4
Mbps (on the downlink) and 153 Kbps (on the uplink). Average data
rates are 400–700 Kbps (on the downlink) and 40–80 Kbps (on the
uplink). Actual speed depends on network conditions.
• 1X supports Internet connections with data rates up to 153 Kbps. Actual
speed depends on network conditions.
Once an Internet 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.
MV500V SERIES (VER. STD 0.6)

A 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.” For more information, see page 26.
VoIP Calling
Your Modem (MV500V series) features a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)
function that allows you to make voice calls over a VoIP network by simply
connecting a wired, landline phone to your network-connected Modem.
The basic operating principles behind VoIP: the Modem receives an analog voice
signal from your wired phone, converts the analog signal into a digital signal,
compresses the digital signal into IP packets, and then transmits the IP packets
over the internet. This process is reversed at the receiving end.
Your Modem meets standard VoIP protocol, SIP 2.0, and provides a single RJ-11
port for single-line use. Once your Modem is activated and SIP accounts have
been set on your service provider’s network, you can start making VoIP calls.
Plug-and-Play
Your Modem was factory-set for compatibility with a particular service provider.
Thus, your Modem operates on radio channels and enables services specific to
your network service provider. Once your Modem has been activated on your
service provider’s network, you can connect to the Internet. (Activation is the
process of setting up an account with a service provider and configuring the
Modem to work on that provider’s network.)
After your Modem is activated, connect it to your computer using the provided
Ethernet (RJ-45) cable. You are now ready to use the Internet.
Works With PCs and Mac® Computers
Your Modem supports a variety of networking environments including Mac OS®
9.x, X v10.x, AppleTalk®, Linux®, Windows® NT®, 2000, XP, and others. You will
also need an Internet browser and a network adapter that supports TCP/IP (the
standard language of the Internet).
MV500V SERIES (VER. STD 0.6)

Top-View LED Display
LED lights on the top of the Modem indicate which functions are operating. The
LED lights allow you to know at a glance if your Modem is in EV-DO or 1X mode,
connected to the Internet and in Wi-Fi or Ethernet operation. This feature
eliminates the need for advanced software and status-monitoring procedures.
Web-Based Advanced User Interface
You can easily setup the Modem’s advanced functions through your
AxessManager web browser and without having to install additional software onto
your 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 Modem employs Network Address Translation (NAT). NAT allows your
networked computer devices to share a single IP address, saving the cost of
adding IP addresses to your Internet service account.
Integrated 10/100 4-Port Switch
The Modem has a built-in, 4-port network switch to allow your wired computers to
share printers, data, MP3 files, digital photos and much more. The switch features
automatic detection so it will adjust to the speed, half duplex, and full duplex of
connected devices. The switch transfers data between computers and the Internet
simultaneously without interrupting or consuming resources.
Support for VPN Pass-Through
If you connect to your office network from home using a VPN connection, your
Modem will allow your VPN-equipped computer to pass through the Modem and
to your office network.
Built-In Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
Built-In Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) makes for easiest possible
networking. The DHCP server automatically assigns IP addresses to each
computer, eliminating the 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
MV500V SERIES (VER. STD 0.6)
9
54Mbps, nearly five times faster than 802.11b.
MAC Address Filtering
For added security, you can create a list of MAC addresses (unique client
identifiers) that are allowed access to your network. Every computer has its own
MAC address. Enter these MAC addresses into a list using the Web-Based
Advanced User Interface, and you can control access to your network.

System Components
Your Modem is part of a communication system offering a wide range of
capabilities. To enable these capabilities, you must have every component of the
MV500V SERIES (VER. STD 0.6)
14
system. Here’s what you need:
Host Computing Device
Your notebook or PC hosts the Modem and runs the communication software. The
communication software includes your web browser or email application and
Connection Manager, the Modem-enabling software.
You may also have other software on your computer that can be used wirelessly
with the Modem. Such software can include file transfer applications (FTP), chat
or instant messaging, VPN (Virtual Private Network) client and client software for
a corporate server application.
The Modem
The Modem provides your computer with a connection to the CDMA wireless
network. Every CDMA network operates on one of three radio frequency bands:
450MHz, 800MHz or 1900MHz. The Modem is available in four configurations:
MV510 single-band 450MHz, MV520 single-band 800MHz, MV530 single-band
1900MHz and MV540 dual-band 800/1900MHz.
CDMA Service Provider Account
Services providers are companies that operate CDMA networks and provide
access to these networks. To use the Modem, you must have an account with a
CDMA service provider.
Each service provider has its own pricing options. Flat rate accounts allow you to
purchase a maximum number of minutes of network usage for a fixed monthly fee.
Other types of accounts charge for network usage by the minute or by the amount
of data transmitted.
Your account may include a variety of other services such as SMS messaging.
Each Modem is designed for use with a particular service provider. Thus, your
Modem operates with specific radio channels and enables services specific to
your service provider.
Activation is the process of setting up your account. It involves action by your
MV500V SERIES (VER. STD 0.6)
15
service provider and over-the-network configuration of your Modem.
The CDMA Wireless Network
This is the worldwide infrastructure providing the radio coverage that allows you to
stay connected. Composed of radio towers and a variety of network switches,
routers and servers, the network is an interconnection of many service providers.
Note: More information about CDMA networks is available on the CDMA
Development Group web site, www.cdg.org.
CDMA networks operate in frequency bands supported by the Modem throughout
North America and parts of Latin America, Europe, Middle East, Africa and Asia-
Pacific. Each service provider operates a network covering a limited geographical
area within the overall CDMA coverage area.
Note: Some service providers have coverage maps on their web sites.

MV500V SERIES (VER. STD 0.6)
26
Configuring the Wireless Network Settings
Clicking on the header of the “Wireless Settings” tab will take you to the “Wireless
Settings” header page. From this page, the Modem’s Wi-Fi router wireless radio
can be enabled or disabled (the default setting is enabled). There are options that
allow you to make changes to the Wi-Fi wireless network settings.
Changing the Wireless Network Name (SSID)
To identify your wireless network, SSID (Service Set Identifier) is used. The
default SSID of your Modem is “AxessMV500”. You can change the SSID to
anything you want, or you can leave it unchanged. If there are other wireless
networks operating in your area, you will want to make sure that your SSID is
unique (does not match the SSID of another wireless network in your area). To
change the SSID, type in the SSID name that you want to use in the “SSID” field
and click “Apply Changes.”. The change is immediate. If you make a change to
the SSID, your wireless-equipped computers may also need to be reconfigured to
be able to connect to your new network name. Refer to the documentation of your
wireless network adapter for information on making this change.
Using the Wireless Mode Switch
Your Modem can operate in three different wireless modes: “g and b”, “g only”,
and “b only”.
MV500V SERIES (VER. STD 0.6)
27
g and b Mode
In this mode, the Modem is simultaneously compatible with 802.11b and
802.11g wireless clients. This is the factory default mode and ensures
successful operation with all Wi-Fi compatible devices. If you have a mix of
802.11b and 802.11g clients in your network, we recommend setting the
Modem to g and b mode. This setting should only be changed if you have a
specific reason to do so.
.g only Mode
g only mode works only with 802.11g clients. This mode is recommended if you
want to prevent 802.11b clients from accessing your network. To switch modes,
select the desired mode from the “Wireless Mode” drop-down box. Then, click
“Apply Changes”.
.b only Mode
We recommend you DO NOT use this mode unless you have a very specific
reason to do so. This mode exists only to solve unique problems that may
occur with some 802.11b client adapters and is NOT necessary for
interoperability of 802.11g and 802.11b standards.
When to use b only Mode
In some cases, older 802.11b clients may not be compatible with 802.11g
wireless. These adapters tend to be of inferior design and may use older drivers
or technology. Switching to this mode can solve problems that sometimes occur
with these clients. If you suspect that you are using a client adapter that falls
into this category of adapters, first check with the adapter vendor to see if there
is a driver update. If no driver update is available, switching to b only mode may
fix your problem. Please note that switching to b only mode will decrease
802.11g performance.
Changing the Wireless Channel
There are a number of operating channels you can choose from. In the United
States and Australia, there are 11 channels. In the United Kingdom and most of
Europe, there are 13 channels. In a small number of other countries, there are
other channel requirements. Your Modem is configured to operate on the
proper channels for the country you reside in. The default channel is 11 (unless
you are in a country that does not allow channel 11). The channel can be
MV500V SERIES (VER. STD 0.6)
28
changed, if necessary. If there are other wireless networks operating in your
area, your network should be set to operate on a channel that is different from
the other wireless networks. For best performance, use a channel that is at
least five channels away from other wireless networks. For example, if another
network is operating on channel 11, then set your network to channel 6 or
below. To change the channel, select the channel from the drop-down list and
click “Apply Changes”. The change is immediate.
Frequency channel only 1-11 channels are available in USA, other channels will
be disabled by software
Securing Your Wi-Fi® Network
Here are a few different ways you can maximize the security of your wireless
network and protect your data from prying eyes and ears. This section is
intended for the home, home office, and small office user. At the time of this
User Manual’s publication, two encryption methods are available.
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a common protocol that adds security to all
Wi-Fi compliant wireless products. WEP was designed to give wireless
networks the equivalent level of privacy protection as a comparable wired
network.
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) – PSK
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) is a Wi-Fi standard that was designed to improve
upon the security features of WEP. To use WPA security, the drivers and
software of your wireless equipment must be upgraded to support WPA. These
updates will be found on the wireless vendor’s web site. There are two types of
WPA security, WPA-PSK (no server) and WPA (with radius server).
WPA-PSK (no server) uses a pre-shared key as the network key. A network key
is a password that is between eight and 63 characters long. It can be a
combination of letters, numbers or characters. Each client uses the same
network key to access the network. Typically, this mode is used in a home
environment.
WPA 2(Wi-Fi Protected Access 2) – PSK
WPA 2 is an advanced version of WPA and is complying with an advanced
MV500V SERIES (VER. STD 0.6)
29
protocol implementing full standard. Especially, it introduces a new AES-based
algorithm, CCMP, which is considered completely secure. MV500 Series
support WPA2 personal mode or personal use.

to the “Port Forwarding” page. “Port Forwarding” allows you to route incoming
(Internet) calls for services such as a web server (port 80), FTP server (Port 21),
or other applications through your router to your internal network. Because your
internal computers are protected by a firewall, computers outside your network
(other computers connected to the Internet) cannot “see” or reach your computers.
A list of common applications has been provided in case you need to configure
the “Port Forwarding” function for a specific application. If you do, contact the
application vendor to find out which port settings you need.
MV500V SERIES (VER. STD 0.6)

For example, to restrict Internet access for a single computer, enter the IP
address of the computer you wish to restrict access to in the IP field. Next, enter
“80” in both port fields. Select “Block”.
MAC Block Services
The MAC address filter is a powerful security feature that allows you to specify
which computers are allowed on your network. Any computer attempting to
access your network must be specified in the filter list or it will be denied access.
When you enable this feature, you must enter the MAC address of each client
(computer) on your network in order to allow network access to each.
MV500V SERIES (VER. STD 0.6)
33
MAC Services Blocking can be set in three modes.
• Disable. In this mode, there are no restrictions on any devices
connected to the Modem, whether through Wi-Fi or Ethernet ports
• Deny. In this mode, the service table shows the client MAC address
being blocked by the Modem.

DMZ, Internet Ping, and HTTP-related items.
MV500V SERIES (VER. STD 0.6)
34
Enabling the Modem’s Demilitarized Zone (DMZ)
The DMZ feature allows you to specify one computer on your internal network
to be placed outside the firewall. This may be necessary if the firewall is
causing problems with a game, video conferencing, or other application. Use
this feature on a temporary basis. The computer in the DMZ is NOT protected
from hacker attacks.
WAN Ping Blocking
Computer hackers use what is known as “pinging” to find potential victims on
the Internet. By pinging a specific IP address and receiving a response, a
hacker can determine that something of interest might be at that IP address.
You can set your Modem so it will not respond to a hacker’s ICMP ping,
increasing the level of security provided by your Modem.
If it is necessary to turn on the ping response, select “Respond to Ping on
Internet Port” and click “Apply”. The Modem will respond to an ICMP ping.

address can be changed, if necessary. To change the IP address, type in
the new IP address and click “Apply”. The IP address you choose should
be a non-routable IP.
Examples of a non-routable IP are:
192.168.x.x (where x is anything between 0 and 255), and10.x.x.x (where x is
MV500V SERIES (VER. STD 0.6)
36
anything between 0 and 255).
Subnet Mask: There is no need to change the subnet mask. This is a unique,
advanced feature of your Modem. It is possible to change the subnet mask,
if necessary. Do NOT make changes to the subnet mask unless you have a
specific reason to do so. The default setting is “255.255.255.0”.
Use Router as DHCP Server
The DHCP server function makes setting up a network very easy by
assigning IP addresses to each computer on the network automatically. The
DHCP server can be turned OFF, if necessary. To do so, you must manually
set a static IP address for each computer on your network. To turn off the
DHCP server, de-select “Use Router As DHCP Server” and click “Apply”.
Dynamic DNS
Dynamic DNS (Domain Name Service) is a method for Dynamic IP users to notify
a domain name server to change, in real time (ad-hoc) the active DNS
configuration of its configured hostnames, addresses, or other information stored
in DNS. Your Modem supports Dynamic DNS.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem:
• I am unable to connect to the Internet. The Modem’s “Signal” light is
on and the “Connect” light is off.
Solution:
If you cannot connect to the Internet while the “Signal” light is on and the
“Connect” light is off, it could be that your connection type may not match the
ISP’s connection.
• If you have a “static IP address” connection, your ISP must assign
you the IP address, subnet mask and gateway address. Please refer to the
section entitled “Alternate Setup Method” for details on changing this
setting.
• If you are still unable to access the Internet after verifying these
settings, please contact your Service Provider Technical Support.
Problem:
• I am unable to connect to the Internet. The Modem’s “Signal” light is
on and the “Connect” light is on.
Solution:
If the “Signal” light is on and the “Connect” light is on but you are unable to
access the Internet, it could be that third-party firewall software was installed
on the computer attempting to access the Internet. Examples of third-party
firewall software are ZoneAlarm, BlackICE PC Protection, McAfee Personal
Firewall and Norton Personal Firewall.
If you do have firewall software installed on your computer, please make sure
that you properly configured it. You can determine if the firewall software is
preventing Internet access by temporarily turning it off. If the firewall is
disabled and Internet access works properly, you will need to change the
firewall settings to function properly when it is turned on.
Please refer to the manual provided by the publisher of your firewall software
for instructions on configuring the firewall to allow Internet access.

If you are still unable to access the Internet after disabling any firewall
software, please contact your Service Provider Technical Support.
Problem:
I can’t connect to the Internet wirelessly from my computer but it works if I
use the Ethernet cable.
Solution:
If you are unable to connect to the Internet from a wireless computer,
please do the following:
1. Look at the lights on your Modem. Your Modem’s lights should be as
follows:
• The “Power” light should be on.
• The “Connected” light should be on and not blinking.
• The “WAN” light should be on or blinking.
2. Open your wireless utility software by clicking on the icon in the
system tray at the bottom, right-hand corner of your screen.
3. The exact window that opens will vary depending on the model of
wireless card you have. However, each utility should have a list of
“Available Networks” which are the wireless networks your Modem
can connect to.
Problem:
My wireless network performance is inconsistent.
Data transfer is sometimes slow.
Signal strength is poor.
I am having difficulty establishing and/or maintaining a Virtual Private
Network (VPN) connection.
Solution:
Because wireless technology is radio-based connectivity and throughput
performance between devices decreases as the distance between devices
increases. Signal degradation is also caused by obstructions such as walls
MV500V SERIES (VER. STD 0.6)
47
and metal appliances (metal is generally the worst culprit). As a result, the
typical indoor range of your wireless devices will be from 100 to 200 feet.
Note, too, that connection speed may decrease as you move farther away
from the Modem or network access point.
To determine if wireless issues are related to range, temporarily move your
computer, if possible, five to 10 feet away from the Modem.
Changing the Wireless Channel - Depending on local wireless traffic and
interference, switching the wireless channel of your network can improve
performance and reliability. Your Modem’s default channel is channel 11.
You may choose from several other channels, depending on your region
(see “Changing the Wireless Channel” on page 41 for instructions on how to
choose other channels).
Limiting the Wireless Transmit Rate - Limiting the wireless transmit rate can
help improve your network’s maximum wireless range and connection
stability. Most wireless cards have the ability to limit the transmission rate.
To change this property, go to the Windows Control Panel, open “Network
Connections” and double-click on your wireless card’s connection. In the
“Properties” dialog, select the “Configure” button on the “General” tab
(Windows 98 users will have to select the wireless card in the list box and
then click “Properties”). Choose the “Advanced” tab and select the rate
property. Wireless client cards are usually set to automatically adjust the
wireless transmit rate for you, but doing so can cause periodic disconnects
when the wireless signal is too weak. As a rule, slower transmission rates
are more stable.
Experiment with different connection rates until you find the best one for
your environment. Note that all available transmission rates should be
acceptable for browsing the Internet. For more assistance, see your
wireless card’s user manual.
