What is DMU? 
Dynamic Mobile IP Key Update is a technique Verizon Wireless uses to distribute keys to a 
mobile device the first time it is activated. DMU is described in RFC 4784. 
My customer wants to know how to definitively determine which service is being used, 
EVDO or 1xRTT, when the call is active. 
After a data connection is set up, you can verify from looking at the output of the show cellular 
connection command. The current call state would tell if it is a 1xRTT or EVDO (HDR) call. 
 
Router#show cellular 0/0/0 connection 
Phone number of outgoing call = #777 
HDR AT State = Connected, HDR Session State = Open 
HDR Session Info: 
UATI (Hex) = 0080:0580:0000:0001:080A:CCC5:45C2:3B47 
Color Code = 237, RATI = 0xB29DCCDD 
Session duration = 624 msecs, Session start = 2624229538 msecs 
Session end = 2624230592 msecs, Authentication Status = 
Authentication disabled 
HDR DRC Value = 2, DRC Cover = 0, RRI = 9.6 kbps 
Current Transmitted = 11202 bytes, Received = 10203 bytes 
Total Transmitted = 28801 KB, Received = 28192 KB 
Current Call Status = CONNECTED Privacy Mode = OFF, Service Option =

Current Call Duration = 1288 secs 
Total Call Duration = 3216600 seconds 
Current Call State = AT Packet Call 
Last Call Disconnect Reason = Base station release (No reason) 
Last Connection Error = None

Mobile IP Error Code (RFC-2002) = 0 (Registration accepted)

My laptop is running an EVDO Rev A connection card with a signal of -92 dBm. Why 
would the signal be so much worse with the 3G HWIC WWAN card: it is -125 dBm? 
This reading (-125 dBm) means there is no signal, so the modem is not seeing the EVDO 
service. Verify with the show cellular all command that the modem can see the EVDO signal. 
Also verify that an antenna is connected to the main antenna input of the 3G HWIC. 
What is the difference between the following two commands? 
 
cellular 0/1/0 gsm band gsm-all-bands 
cellular 0/1/0 gsm band auto-band 
 
The gsm-all-bands command connects only to a 2G service (no wideband CDMA [WCDMA]). 
The auto-band command is the default setting in the modem; with this configuration the 
modem connects to 3G service if available.
