Mobile (cellular) settings
The Mobile Settings pages configure how to connect to mobile (cellular) networks using the
mobile connection, including the service provider, service plan, and connection settings used in
connecting to the mobile network. If your Digi device has not already been provisioned for use in
the mobile network, you can launch a wizard to provision it from these pages. In addition, you can
configure settings for Digi SureLink™, a feature that provides an “always-on” mobile network
connection to ensure rapid on-demand communication. The SureLink configuration settings allow
you to customize how SureLink detects when a connection has been lost, in order to re-establish
the link. These settings also are used to load a preferred roaming list (PRL) into the cellular
module.
Information required from mobile service provider
To connect to the mobile network, you must get a set of network settings from the mobile service
provider including service plan and authentication details. For more information, consult the
documentation that came with your mobile service provider's information.
Different processes used for CDMA and GSM provisioning
The process for provisioning your device and the settings displayed on the Mobile Configuration
page vary according to whether the mobile service provider network used with your Digi Cellular
Family product is based on CDMA (Code-Division Multiple Access) or GSM (Global System for
Mobile communication).
CDMA-based mobile service providers
Device provisioning for a CDMA-based mobile service provider consists of selecting the service
provider from a list and either automatically or manually entering mobile settings provided by the
mobile service provider Examples of CDMA-based mobile service providers include Sprint,
Verizon, Alltel, and Midwest.
GSM-based mobile service providers
Device provisioning for a GSM-based mobile service provider involves inserting a Subscriber
Identity Module (SIM) card into the Digi device, which makes subscription data available in the
cellular network. Examples of GSM-based mobile service providers include Cingular, AT&T, and
T-Mobile.
