Tata Indicom Sungil CDMA Modem on Mac OS X.5

Procedure to connect with Sungil SXC – 1080 USB CDMA modem using Mac OS 10.5
(Data Connectivity only)

I have done it on Tata Indicom network and have a Macbook Pro. It should also work well on a Macbook.

Your SIM card must be pre-activated on windows or a CDMA phone. (Important update.. Feb 2009. Recently Tata Indicom has asked its customer to upgrade the SIM card. Please take your SIM card to a Tata Indicom outlet and ask them to insert it in a Tata Mobile and dial *228 from it. Follow the instructions that you hear on that call)

Boot your Mac
Insert Sungil SXC – 1080 in the USB port

Open System Preferences
Click on Network




A dialog box will open up. Click OK!


Go to Location.
Choose Edit Locations..


Click on +
Say Sungil SXC - 1080 USB CDMA

Hit Done


On the left Menu, select Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM

Choose Configuration: Add Configuration


Create a new Configuration called: Say Tata Indicom CDMA

Hit Create


Enter the following:

Telephone Number: #777
Account Name: internet
Password: internet

Check on “Check modem status in menu bar

Click on Advanced


Select Modem: (Verizon is my personal favorite)

Vendor: Other
Model: Verizon Support (PC 5220)

Dial Mode: Ignore dial tone while dialing

Go to PPP

The following options have been also tested to be working good in order of my personal preference:

Vendor: Sierra
Model: CDMA

Vendor: Franklin
Model: CDMA

Vendor: Sprint
Model: PCS Version

Vendor: Novatel
Model: CDMA

Model: C01SI (PC Card)


Uncheck all options under sessions, except Disconnect when user logs out

Click ok


Hit Apply, and hit CONNECT...


Enjoy !!!.

Feel free to drop me a line on trueimages@gmail.com if you still have problems and I shall try to respond as soon as I can. The formula given above is for use of Mac Community, and should work well.

This is only a goodwill effort for the Mac Community and I bear no responsibility if this does not work for any reason.
