Purpose

Use this Bulletin to

• determine which of our PC Cards are direct cellular capable,

• determine the Chipset your cellular capable PC Card is based on,

• and to find cellular commands you may add to your initialization strings and dialing strings.

PC Card Jargon Guide

If any of the terms used in this Bulletin have you scratching your head then see Bulletin 3198, PC Card Jargon Guide.

Also, for a guide to cellular terms see our Cellular Technology Brief's glossary.

Before You Begin

It is highly unlikely that you'll need to use any of the commands that are covered in this Bulletin. These commands are "nice to know" but aren't required to enjoy full use of your PC Card. Cellular is a harsh environment that will be considerably slower than the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). However, it is a known environment that our engineers have been able to design for. Here are items that you should consider before you use the commands in this Bulletin.

• Your Cable: Assure that you are connecting your cable correctly please see Bulletin 3192. We designed the cable to send down the correct configuration commands so that your PC Card will be ready for cellular.

• Your Phone: Compatibility Of Your Motorola Cellular Phone has been effected by modifications in EE3, a standard cellular phone software.

• Your Firmware: Confirm that you have the latest firmware upgrade for your PC Card .

Determine Which PC Cards Are Direct Cellular Capable

Click the type of PC Card that you have in the list below. You'll be presented with a list of PC Cards and their chipsets. The chipset in your PC Card determines the range of initialization and dialing strings that you may use. If your PC Card does not appear in these tables then we don't support that PC Card for direct Cellular applications. Each model number may represent a series of PC Cards.

• x2 PC Cards
• Ethernet Modems
• For PowerBooks
• 33.6 Modems
• Upgradeable 28.8 Modems
• 28.8 Modems
• 14.4 Modems

There are no initialization and dialing strings or comparable commands for Wireless PC Cards and Ethernet Adapters.

Ethernet Modems

Here are our direct connect cellular Ethernet Modems. They were manufactured with 28.8 and 33.6 Kbps capability. Each of these model numbers represents a series that includes both the C, or Coaxial, and the T, or 10 Base T versions. This factor does not change the chipset in that series of Ethernet Modems. If your Ethernet Modem does not appear in this table then it is not direct connect cellular capable.

33.6 Modems

These are our direct connect cellular Modems that were manufactured with 33.6 Kbps capability. If your 33.6 Modem does not appear in this table then it is not direct connect cellular capable.

PC Card	Chipset
CC4336	Rockwell v.34
XJ4336	Rockwell v.34

There is a +MS Command that you may add to your initialization string. This optional command applies to 33.6 Modems with a Rockwell v.34 chipset.

Upgradeable 28.8 Modems

Here are our direct connect cellular Modems that were manufactured with 28.8 Kbps capability. They are able to be upgraded to 33.6 Kbps. If your 28.8 Modem does not appear in this table then it is not direct connect cellular capable.

28.8 Modems

Here are our direct connect cellular Modems that were manufactured with 28.8 Kbps capability. These are unable to be ugraded to 33.6 Kbps. The chipset that the Modem's design is based on prevents this. If your 28.8 Modem does not appear in this table then it is not direct connect cellular capable.

XJ3288	AT&T v.34
CC6288	AT&T v.34

14.4 Modems

These direct connect cellular Modems were manufactured to have 14.4 Kbps capability. If your 14.4 Modem does not appear in this table then it is not direct connect cellular capable.
