3.3 PROVISIONING (CDMA MODELS ONLY)
When a CDMA modem is powered up for the first time, most of the provisioning information is blank or has information
that needs to be changed. The device is usually shipped with the radio ready to be provisioned on a cellular carrier’s
network. Features called Over-The-Air Service Provisioning (OTASP) and Internet Over-The-Air (IOTA) are supported, which
allow the cellular providers to program the modem with specific information to activate the account.
From the main navigation panel, select provisioning to access the primary provision screen and for access to the advanced
settings tab.
3.3.1 VERIZON WIRELESS PROVISIONING INFORMATION (OTASP)
Verizon features Over-The-Air Service Provisioning (OTASP) which allows the cellular provider to provision the modem.
 Provisioning must occur in a non-roaming area of the Verizon network with a medium to strong signal strength.
 Select Provisioning from the side menu bar.
 Confirm the OTASP command reads *22899.
 Click the OTASP button.
If unsuccessful, follow the steps below to enter the information manually. Periodically, you should locally or remotely make
sure to click on the OTASP button to ensure the PRL is updated. In some cases this may happen automatically by the carrier.
Manual-Entry Activation
 If provisioning must occur in a roaming area, make sure to have a medium to strong signal strength because
manual-entry activation will be required.
 Select Provisioning from the side menu bar.
 Input the MDN/MTN and MSID/IMSI (MIN) given by your provider
 Put 6 0’s (000000) for the unlock code
 Click the Write MDN/MSID button.
3.3.2 SPRINT PROVISIONING INFORMATION (OMA-DM)
Sprint features Open Mobile Alliance Device Management (OMA-DM) which allows the cellular provider to provision the
modem.
After the account is activated by Sprint, the device will auto-provision after power is applied to the device for the first time.
First, verify on the Home page the MDN/MTN and MSID/IMSI/MIN are in the default mode. Then after 3-4 minutes, check
again that the MDN/MTN and MSID/IMSI/MIN are populated with the numbers provided by the carrier. Once this is
complete, you can move on to the next section. If auto-provisioning doesn’t occur, push the OMA-DM button to provision.
If both of these are unsuccessful, follow the steps below to deactivate auto-provisioning and enter the information
manually.
 Provisioning must occur in a non-roaming area of the Sprint network with a medium to strong signal strength.
 Select Provisioning from the side menu bar.
 Sprint is capable of automatic OMA-DM provisioning. The Auto Activation can be Enabled or Disabled. To save the
Auto Activation, click the SAVE button.
 If Auto Activation is Disabled, a manual initiation of OMA-DM can be started by clicking on the OMA-DM button
