Account configuration
procedures
The final step to making the AirCard operational is config‐
uring it to use your CDMA service provider account. The
process of activation configures your AirCard with the
required account parameters (phone number, username,
password, etc.).
If you purchased a pre‐activated AirCard, this step is not
necessary. Once the application software and driver are
installed, the AirCard is ready for use.
Otherwise, you must use the Activation Wizard to activate and
configure your account.
Activation Wizard
The Activation Wizard walks you through the process of
configuring an account. The process and options vary based on
the service provider.
This section is a guide only. Consult the Quick Start Guide,
and follow the directions on screen and instructions given by
your service provider representative.
To activate an account and configure your AirCard for use:
If your AirCard does not have an activated account, and
Watcher has started automatically, then the Activation Wizard
should start automatically. If this does not happen:
1.
Ensure Watcher is running. If it is not, select
Programs > Sierra Wireless > AirCard 580 > AirCard 580
Watcher
.
2.
Start the Activation Wizard: select
Activation Wizard.
To begin activation of the AirCard, click
