Automatic Activation (OTASP)

One of the special features of your AirLink GX400 for Verizon is the ability to
activate itself automatically. When you first power on the AirLink GX400, it will
check to see if it has been activated with account data. If it finds that it has not yet
been activated, the AirLink GX400 will attempt to retrieve the account data from
the Verizon network using Over-the-Air Service Provisioning (OTASP).
Note: You must have a Verizon account before you attempt automatic activation. If you do
not have a Verizon account for your AirLink GX400, it will not succeed at activation.

Updating AirLink GX400 Firmware

For installing the latest firmware version (.exe file), you can go to the Sierra
Wireless website: http://www.sierrawireless.com/support.

Confirming IP Address

Check the IP Address in your Local Area Connection window. The IP Address in
the window in Figure 3 is for a USB/net connection.
