4.3 Verizon Wireless SIM cards

Regarding Verizon Wireless, the APNs ( Access Point Name) are provided OTA ( Over The Air). To carry out APNs
provided through OTA, you must insert the SIM card in the device, connect the antennas to the device and switch it
on. Provisioning can take up to 10 minutes. You should not, at any point, either switch off the device or restart it dur-
ing this time period. To verify that the APNs provisioning process has been successful, check the list of APNs
through the "module profile list" command from the cellular base interface monitoring menu. If the SIM card has con-
tracted a different service from the dynamic IP basic service, profile 3 will have a different APN to the vzwinternet,
which is the default profile for dynamic IP connections to the Verizon Wireless network.
If, for any reason, the provisioning process is unsuccessful and the device doesn't connect to the Verizon network,
you can repeat the process in the following way. First of all, restore the module profiles table to the manufacturers
default values using the "module profile restore" command. Once the command has executed, switch off the device,
remove the SIM card, insert it in another device (e.g. a USB modem) and connect it to the Verizon Wireless network
through this device. Once connected, disconnect the USB modem, remove the SIM card and insert it in the router
and switch it on in order to repeat the provisioning process. Remember that this can take up to 10 minutes and you
shouldn't either switch off nor restart the device or the LTE module. Once the provisioning process has finished, the
device registers in the network and the data call establishes.
