User's Manual

Selecting the Dialer Profile
The phone number, user name, and password (if any) are set in the dialer setting. In the United States, AT&T
and T-Mobile use the 'gsm_us' profile, while Sprint and Verizon use the 'evdo_us' profile. User names and
passwords are not typically used by U.S. carriers, but they may be required by International carriers.
Choose the dialer group that matches your carrier. If one doesn't exist, create a new dialer group with
information from your carrier (Figure 235)
Figure 235 show dialer group example
The ATD, in the Dial String column in Figure 235, specifies the number to dial, and is typically the same among
respective CDMA/GSM carriers. The information under the Init String column typically just resets the modem
to the factory default state, but may contain carrier specific options. You can often find these settings in online
forums or from your ISP.
Linux Support
The Internet is a great place to research Linux support for your modem. Chances are someone already got it
working on their system and their configuration can be leveraged. The following sites provide useful
