About this guide Congratulations and thank you for purchasing a Sony Ericsson EC400 or EC400g Mobile Broadband ExpressCard. This guide includes an overview of the supported features, detailed technical specifications, system requirements, and safety guidelines for both the EC400 and EC400g. The EC400 and EC400g provide the same features, with one exception, the EC400g incorporates Global Positional Satellite (GPS) functionality. This manual refers to both modems as EC400.
Publications Sony Ericsson provides the following documents to help you use your EC400: • A printed Quick Start Guide aimed at getting you operational as quickly as possible. • A PDF EC400 User Guide (this document) that contains a detailed description of your EC400 and the features that it supports.
Overview Checklist The following items should be in the box when you unpack it: • Sony Ericsson EC400 Mobile Broadband Modem Card • Quick Start Guide (QSG) • Protective case EC400/EC400g Communications Summary Your EC400 keeps you in touch, enabling you to use the best available mobile service wherever you are.
• Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) UMTS is a 3G technology standard for wide-area wireless data communication that is based on the GSM standard. The UMTS standard uses advanced network operator mobile Internet services to achieve data transfer rates up to 384kbps, which are ideal for media streaming, video MMS, instant shopping, and banking.
Status LEDs The EC400 contains multi-colored LEDs that indicate the status of the device. The LEDs are located under the Diversity antenna, as shown below.
To insert the SIM card Insert the SIM card into the slot on the bottom of the EC400. Make sure the gold contacts on the SIM card are facing towards the EC400 and the angled corner (A) of the SIM card is placed away from the EC400 as shown. Push the SIM card into the EC400. A To remove the SIM card Insert a pen or other small pointed object into the removal slot (B) and push the SIM out of the EC400 while gently lifting the back edge of the SIM card over the catch (C).
Antennas The EC400 has two built-in antennas and two external antenna connectors. Diversity Antenna EC400 - GSM Antenna Connector EC400g - GPS Antenna Connector GSM Antenna Connector Main Antenna Note: The Diversity antenna must be raised during use for optimal performance. The following table describes the antennas for the EC400 and EC400g. Antenna Type Description Main Built-in Used for GSM/UMTS communications. (GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, HSPA) Diversity Built-in Dual GPS/UMTS Diversity antenna.
GPS data is provided over the Sony Ericsson GPS Port. This is a Windows COM Port. When you install the EC400g, Windows will assign a number, for example COM23. To link a third-party GPSenabled application to your EC400g's GPS receiver, you may need to access the application settings and select the COM port number that Windows has allocated. The data that the GPS device provides, is in Nautical Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) format. This format is commonly understood by GPS-enabled applications.
Third-party applications Your network operator or your network administrator may provide an application that works with your EC400. Please refer to the instructions supplied with that application. Functions and features available may be different compared with the Sony Ericsson Wireless Manager application. Virtual Private Network (VPN) Your EC400 is tested for compatibility with popular VPN solutions used by corporations to enable remote workers to access the corporate network.
