G3 Connection on 881 Info

[Patrick McHenry]

  Hi,

Does anyone have a doc for installing and connfiguring the 3g card(Cellular0 interface) for a backup link?

Could the 3G card be configured for a static VPN between two endpoints - like a site to site VPN or is it generally used for users to use AnyConnect via the 3G connection?

Thanks, Pat.

Guiseppe,

Thanks for the response.

I opened up the 881 to see where I would install a sim card. My 881 doesn't have a removeable module so, I took the cover off but, I don't see where the sim card would go. There doesn't seem to be anywhere to put it.

Is the sim card there already and I don't know?

Just to get things straight - in addition to the PCEX-3G-CDMA-V, I need a sim card from the carrier?

Thanks, Pat
