Pantech Verizon UML290 How To Configure

How to configure your Pantech UML290 for 3G use:

Step 1: Download the Pantech Modem Utility by following the instructions at this link: Click to

download Pantech Modem Utility (WINDOWS ONLY)

http://3gstore.com/site/download_form.html?u=pantech-uml290-fix

Step 2: Install the Pantech Modem Configuration Tool on a Windows computer

Step 3: With your UML290 inserted into your computer but NOT connected to the network,

launch the Pantech Modem Application

Step 4: Click the "read" button - this will read the current settings of your Pantech UML290.

Step 5: Under "Pref_mode", check the "CDMA/HDR Only" optoin. In the "HDR Service

Configuration" section, check the "Rev A" option. Your settings should look like the below

sample:

Pantech UML290 Prefer Mode Tool Version 1.0.0.2

Step 6: Click on the "Write" button to save the settings.

Once the "write" is complete, you can remove the modem from your computer and use it in your

BC2 or Cradlepoint router (if you're using a Cradlepoint router, make sure you have the beta

firmware installed). Your UML290 will now work in 3G mode!

This fix will also work for users looking to use their device for remote based applications

because it assigns a public facing IP address (3G ONLY). With eHRPD you're assigned a

private IP in either 3G or 4G mode, which has prevents UML290 users from accessing remote

applications.

IMPORTANT: Remember that the above steps locks your modem to 3G mode. When you are

ready to use the modem in 4G mode, follow the same steps but select the "CDMA/HDR/LTE

only" and "eHRPD" options instead.
