This chapter provides step-by-step directions for activating your
Raven XE on your cellular provider's network.
Installing the SIM
The Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) in the Raven XE is a smartcard
that securely stores the key identifying a cellular subscriber.
Generally, you will only need to install a SIM once in the life of the
modem, and it may be pre-installed by your Sierra Wireless
representative.
If the SIM was pre-installed, unless you need to set a custom APN,
activation of your modem is complete.

Cellular Account Required- To use your modem, you need to
have a SIM with an active account in a data plan with your
