account
Contact your wireless service provider and request a GSM account

The service provider will provide you with a fully configured SIM
(Subscriber Identity Module) card that will contain the modem’s
electronic account information.
You will need to provide the service provider the Electronic Serial
Number (ESN) of the modem you wish to activate. The ESN is located
on a label under the modem.
The wireless service provider should give you the following parameters
for you to complete the activation:
• Mobile Directory Number (MDN). This is the10-digit telephone
number assigned to your unit, including the area code.
• Username/Password for packet network access. (Maybe ‘blank’ for
both values but confirm with your provider)
• APN (Access Point Name), name of internet gateway server in a
GPRS network. Connects the GPRS network to the internet.
Note: Keep a written record of the account information that your wireless
service provider gives you. Store it in a secure location. You will need this
information if required to re-enter the account information.
