This prints out the ESN of the modem i.e. (+GSN: 45262036). If you get an Error or no communication message, verify the modem is connected to the proper COM port and powered on. See Figure 2. 5. Verify good signal strength with AT+CSQ?. A typical reply is +CSQ? 19,99. Signal strength ranges from 0 to 31, the higher the number the stronger the signal. 6. Confirm your registration on the cellular network with AT+CSS?. A reply of +CSS? 2,Z,99999 indicates you are not registered. It may take up to 15 seconds after power‐up to register on the network. Once registered, a typical response is +CSS?: 1,A,4152 where 1 is the band class, 1=800 MHz, 2=1900 MHz, A‐F is the band (Z indicates you are not registered on network), 4152 is the SID, i.e. the cell tower ID, (99999 indicates you are not registered on network). 7. Confirm the phone number currently in the modem with AT$KWDIR?. It should be 10 digits (i.e. 0000005555) prior to activation. 8. Perform the activation instructions specific to your carrier as indicated in Appendix 1: Subscriber Activation, (i.e., for Verizon, OTASP can be initiated with an AT command of AT+CDV*22899). Wait 2 minutes. 9. After the unit has been activated, verify programming success with AT$KWDIR?. It should now display your assigned number. 8 ...

Page 11: Appendix 1: Subscriber Activation
819‐1XRT Serial Cellular Data Modem APPENDIX 1: SUBSCRIBER ACTIVATION Verizon Wireless Subscribers For Verizon Wireless subscribers residing in the United States, the standard provisioning procedure is by issuing the command AT+CDV*22899. If the modem will not provision and you have verified the serial number is activated with Verizon in their systems, manually key in the phone number. In cellular terminology, the Mobile Directory Number (MDN) number you call to connect to the modem is entered as described below. Enter these commands via your terminal emulation software: AT+GMR (Note the PRL Number) AT$KWMODE=1 AT$KWSPC=000000 AT$KWDIR=10‐Digit MDN Phone Number From Verizon (Without Hyphens) AT$KWMSID=10‐Digit (MIN) Number From Cellular Carrier (Without Hyphens). This only needs to be entered if different than the MDN. AT$KWMODE=2 AT+CDV*22899 After issuing the last AT+CDV*22899 command, let the modem sit uninterrupted for four minutes. After four minutes, remove the power supply jack from the modem, wait several seconds and reinsert it. Reconnect via terminal emulation and query the unit with these commands: AT$KWMODE? (returns online mode) AT$KWDIR? (returns modem’s phone number) AT+GMR (returns firmware version and PRL) If the PRL is different than before, OTASP has definitely occurred. Call your phone to test activation. When it rings, confirm the number matches, answer and hang‐up to disconnect the call. (Do not enter the angle brackets, just the cell phone number without spaces.) AT+CDV<Phone Number> ... - Page 12 819‐1XRT Serial Cellular Data Modem Sprint PCS Subscribers Sprint PCS uses IOTA (IP‐based Over The Air) for their Over‐the‐Air provisioning system. IOTA uses packet data calls to transfer the configuration data to the phone. These IOTA data sessions can be network initiated or client initiated. Network initiated IOTA is the preferred method. An automatic network initiated IOTA session occurs when the module first registers onto the Sprint network. This IOTA session is queued when Sprint originally sets up and 'activates' the account. In their current implementation, Sprint imposes a 72 hour expiration timer for this queued IOTA session. An IOTA session has a device time‐out of 15 minutes. If there is no success within 15 minutes, the status will change to fail and the module will stop trying. A normal IOTA session takes from 1 to 3 minutes. To register onto the network, the module needs a sufficient signal and must be manually provisioned with the MDN and MSID. The IOTA session will occur and populate the 3GPD parameters. If it is the first IOTA session, it is called a Network Initiated Initial Provisioning (NIIP.) NOTE: An IOTA session MUST occur while the device has a sufficient signal and is registered on the Sprint PCS Network. A session will not be successful if the device is out of coverage or not properly registered on the Sprint PCS network. Use the following commands to program the modem. AT$KWMODE=1 AT$KWSPC=Unlock/Activation Code (6 or 7 digits supplied by Sprint) AT$KWDIR=10‐Digit (MDN) Directory Phone Number From Cellular Carrier (Without Hyphens) AT$KWMSID=10‐Digit (MIN) Number From Cellular Carrier (Without Hyphens) This only needs to be entered if different than the MDN. AT$KWMODE=2 Power off the modem for 15 seconds. Power on the modem. Wait 5 to 10 minutes for the device to register on the network. Call your phone to test activation. When it rings, confirm the number matches, answer and hang‐up to disconnect the call. (Do not enter the angle brackets, just the cell phone number without spaces.) ...
- Page 13 819‐1XRT Serial Cellular Data Modem Alltel Subscribers Alltel uses both OTAPA and a manual process for provisioning modems. The OTAPA process for voice phones is not normally possible with a modem, so the manual process must be followed. The ESN is entered into their database and an MDN and MIN number are assigned to the account. The MDN is the number used to contact the modem. The MIN is an internal number used for cellular network routing. Most of the time these numbers are the same. It is very important to program these numbers correctly. If they are reversed, the modem will not work. The MIN is automatically loaded with the MDN number. Enter the MDN first. AT$KWMODE=1 AT$KWSPC=000000 AT$KWDIR=10‐Digit (MDN) Directory Phone Number From Cellular Carrier (Without Hyphens) AT$KWMSID=10‐Digit (MIN) Number From Cellular Carrier (Without Hyphens) This only needs to be entered if different than the MDN. AT$KWMODE=2 Call your phone to test activation. When it rings, confirm the number matches, answer and hang‐up to disconnect the call.

- Page 14 819‐1XRT Serial Cellular Data Modem Telus (Canada) Subscribers The standard procedure to provision the modem is by issuing the command AT+CDV*22803. If the modem will not provision and you have verified with Telus the serial number is activated in their systems, manually key in the phone number. In cellular terminology, the number you call to connect to the modem is known as the Mobile Directory Number (MDN) and is entered as described below. Enter these commands via your terminal emulation software: AT+GMR (Note the PRL Number) AT$KWMODE=1 AT$KWSPC=000000 AT$KWDIR=10‐Digit MDN phone number from Telus (without hyphens) AT$KWMSID=10‐Digit (MSID/MIN) number from cellular carrier (without hyphens). This is required only if different than the MDN. AT$KWMODE=2 AT+CDV*22803 After issuing the last command listed above, let the modem sit uninterrupted for four minutes. After four minutes, remove the power supply jack from the modem. Wait for several seconds and reinsert it. Reconnect via terminal emulation and query the unit with these commands: AT$KWMODE?
