Product Activation
Step – 1: Powering-up the modem
n Connect the external antenna to the modem
n Connect a power source of 12Vdc @ 1A to the power
terminal – GND to pin 1 and POS to pin 2
n To turn ON the modem, apply a 12Vdc to the IGN pin
n PWR LED on the modem should light-up in red
For automatic power-up, put a jumper between the
IGN pin and the POS pin
Step – 2: Activating the cellular unit on the network
1 Contact your wireless service provider/dealer:
a) provide them with the IMEI (Electronic Serial
Number, indicated on the modem’s enclosure),
b) request that they set up an account and provide
a phone number for the unit,
c) if your dealer is not familiar with industrial
cellular modems, you may mention that
provisioning the modem is virtually identical to a
digital cell phone, except that it is a data only
device.
2 Ask the wireless service provider to provide you with
a SIM card.
Step – 3: Programming the phone number
Provisioning the modem’s phone number is accomplished
using the configuration software BlueVue, available from
the source where you purchased the modem and/or from
BlueTree’s website under the Download section.
Step – 4: Testing the modem
You can test the modem by dialing a host computer and
connecting to it: ATDT<host phone number>.
If you get a CONNECT message in the Output window, that
means the modem is ready for operation, otherwise review
steps 1, 2 and 3 or call your supplier.
