Overview of 3G Connectivity on SRX Series Services Gateways

The SRX210 Services Gateway has a built-in 3G ExpressCard slot (wireless modem
card). You can use the 3G ExpressCard sold through Juniper Networks for wireless data
connectivity to 3G networks.

Support for the 3G ExpressCard extends the already rich set of WAN connectivity
options available on the SRX210 Services Gateway. The SRX210 Services Gateway
supports a wireless interface as a backup for primary interfaces such as Gigabit Ethernet
and Fast Ethernet. You can also use the 3G interface as the primary interface.

3G Connectivity on GSM and CDMA Expresscards

Juniper Networks supports 3G ExpressCards that you can insert into the ExpressCard
slot in the SRX210 Services Gateway. When the services gateway is equipped with a 3G
ExpressCard and used in a branch office, the device can provide dial-out services to PC
users and forward IP traffic to the service provider’s cellular network.

Juniper Networks supports the following 3G ExpressCards:

 Sierra Wireless AirCard Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM)

High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) ExpressCard

 Sierra Wireless AirCard GSM High-Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA)

ExpressCard

 Sierra Wireless AirCard Code-Division Multiple Access (CDMA) 1xEvolution-Data

Optimized (EV-DO) rev. A ExpressCard

GSM and CDMA are competing digital cellular phone technologies. CDMA is used by the
Verizon and Sprint service providers. There are several GSM technology users
worldwide.

NOTE: The SRX210 Services Gateway supports only certain Sierra Wireless Inc.
ExpressCards, which are supplied by Juniper Networks and orderable from the Juniper
Price List. For details on the models supported, see the SRX210 Services Gateway
Hardware Guide.

Task 1: Before You Begin

Before you begin, do the following:

1. Install your SRX210 Services Gateway and establish basic connectivity. For more
information, see the SRX210 Services Gateway Hardware Guide.

2. Establish an account with a cellular network service provider. Contact your service
provider for more information on creating an account.

 For CDMA/EV-DO 3G ExpressCards, use the Electronic Serial Number (ESN)

available on the card to create an account with a CDMA service provider (Verizon or
Sprint). To access the ESN on the 3G ExpressCard:

user@host > show modem wireless interface cl-0/0/8 firmware

 For HSPA (GSM/UMTS) 3G ExpressCards, a SIM card should be obtained from the

service provider and inserted into the SIM slot of the 3G ExpressCard.

Task 2: Install the 3G ExpressCard

To install the 3G ExpressCard on the SRX210 Services Gateway:

1. Ensure that the device is powered off.

2. Insert the 3G ExpressCard into the ExpressCard slot. Align the 3G ExpressCard as
follows:

 Ensure that the 3G ExpressCard is parallel with the surface on which the services

points of resistance while inserting the 3G ExpressCard into the slot. Use firm
pressure as you insert the card.

NOTE: The 3G ExpressCard is not hot-swappable.

 As you attempt to insert the 3G ExpressCard into the ExpressCard slot, you will

immediately encounter the first point of resistance. After you align the 3G
ExpressCard, lift it slightly and use firm pressure to slide it into the slot.

 When you have partially inserted the 3G ExpressCard, you will encounter the

second point of resistance. Use additional pressure to finish inserting the 3G
ExpressCard into the slot.

3. Power on the device. The ExpressCard LED on the front panel of the device
indicates the status of the 3G ExpressCard interface.

The illustration below depicts the insertion of the 3G ExpressCard into the SRX210
Services Gateway.

Task 3: Check the 3G ExpressCard Status

Use the following CLI commands to check the status of the 3G ExpressCard:

 user@host> show modem wireless interface cl-0/0/8

 user@host> show interfaces terse

Task 4: Configure the 3G ExpressCard

To configure the 3G ExpressCard:

1. Configure a dialer interface.

2. Configure the 3G ExpressCard interface.

3. Configure security zones and policies, as required, to allow traffic through the WAN
link.

4. The dialer interface (dl0.0) should be placed into the relevant security zone.
