DEVICE ACTIVATION AND INSTALLATION

Chapter 4 – Device Activation and Installation

Some MultiTech devices are pre-configured to operate on a specific cellular network. To use the device, you must

set up a cellular data account with your service provider. Each service provider has its own process for adding

devices to their network.

Every device has a unique phone number. Your service provider supplies a phone number when you activate your

account, or if your device has a SIM card, the phone number may be on it. Wireless service provider

implementation may vary. Consult with your service provider to get the phone number for your device.

One component of your device is a radio. A radio algorithm prevents your device from repeatedly attempting to

connect to the network when the radio:

Cannot establish a packet data connection or

Fails to access the application server.

When writing applications for your devices, ensure that your applications do not interfere with the radio's

connection retry algorithm. If you fail to do so, Aeris might block network access for your devices.

After your devices reach the end of their commercial lifespan, you must remove them from the Aeris network. To

do so, remove power from the devices and remove their antennas. If your devices continue to attempt to register

with the network after you cancel device subscriptions, Aeris can bill you for any traffic generated by those

devices.

Some models require a SIM card, which is supplied by your service provider. To install the SIM card:

You need:

Phillips screwdriver

SIM card

Disconnect power, if it is connected.

Use a small Phillips screwdriver to remove the two SIM cover screws and remove the SIM door.
