10 Section 1B: Getting Started With Your USB Modem
To install and run the USB modem and accompanying Sprint Connection Manager
software on a Windows computer, you will need the minimum system resources
shown in the following table.
High Encryption Requirements (Windows)
Depending on your configuration, an IOTA (Internet Over The Air) session may
automatically start as part of the installation/activation process. IOTA requires
high-security 128-bit encryption to establish a secure Internet connection to the
CDMA network. (For more information, see “Data Provisioning [IOTA]” on
page 27.)
If you are running Windows Vista or Windows XP, your computer should already
include high-security 128-bit encryption.
If you are running Windows 2000 with Internet Explorer
1. Ensure you have installed the Windows 2000 High Encryption Pack: in Internet
Explorer, select Help > About Internet Explorer.
If you see “Cipher Strength: 128-bit,” then the High Encryption Pack is
installed. Proceed to step 2.
If the High Encryption Pack is not installed, download and install it
(www.microsoft.com/windows2000/downloads/recommended/encryption
).
2. If your version of Internet Explorer is earlier than 5.5, download and install the
latest version (www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downloads).
USB slots One USB slot. (If your computer’s USB slot is vertical, use the
USB extension cable. Do not use the USB modem or USB
extension cable in a USB hub or in a USB slot on a keyboard.)
