Before proceeding, make sure the router and the customer's computer are ready for service
activation. Prerequisites for service activation are:
• The router must be commissioned.
• The router must be connected to the customer's computer (next step).
• You must have the SAN (a string that may include both numbers and letters) or SAN and
PIN (a four-digit number) available to enter when the activation process prompts for them.
Some service plans require only a SAN; some require both SAN and PIN. The Installation
Reference Sheet lists the SAN or SAN and PIN if both are needed.
• The customer's computer must be configured for DHCP.
In this procedure you make sure the router is ready for activation and then connect the router to
the customer's computer.
