Verizon Service (Us Customers) - Intuicom RTK Bridge User Manual

Section 2: Initialization and Configuration

2.2.1 Verizon Service (US Customers)

Establishing Service
For a Verizon modem, service will need to be established by contacting Verizon Wireless
or your customer service representative:
www.verizonwireless.com/activateyourdevice
Business Sales: 800-899-4249
Government Sales: 800-293-3048
Customer Service: 800-922-0204
Provide the Verizon representative with the Intuicom RTK Bridge – Cellular identifier:
RTKBC-VZ and your unit's Electronic Serial Number (ESN). The ESN (in HEX form)
can be found in the Embedded Cellular Modem Configuration menu as shown in or on
the label on the side of the device.
The most appropriate data plan for most users to request is "Mobile Broadband Access".
This plan is a 5GB/month data only plan for a fixed monthly price. Note: used 24x7 with
a 1 Hz RTCM3 correction, an RTK Bridge should use ~ 2GB/month of data.
The representative will provide a 10-digit phone number (MDN) – record this number,
you will be prompted to enter it during the provisioning step. If not provided by the
Verizon representative, request the 10-digit "MIN" number. You will be prompted to
enter both numbers during the modem activation step next.
Activation
After service has been established with Verizon for your unit, a final activation step
completed on the RTK Bridge itself is required. The activation process for the Verizon
modem requires access to the carrier's wireless network. If you are not located within
coverage, wait to complete the next steps until the unit is located Verizon wireless
network coverage. A Verizon mobile phone can be handy here to help verify coverage.
Attempting to activate the modem outside of Verizon coverage will not damage the unit
and activation can be attempted again later if it fails due to lack of wireless service.
Be sure the device has the modem antenna attached to the connector on the front panel.
From the Embedded Cellular Modem Configuration menu, select the Activation option.
You will be prompted to enter the 10-digit MDN number provided when the service was
established. Next you will be prompted for the MIN number. If the MIN is the same as
the MDN, enter the MDN a second time. Be sure to carefully and accurately enter this
number with no spaces.
