Automatic versus manual provisioning
There are different types of provisioning methods depending upon your mobile provider. The
Mobile Device Provisioning Wizard will provide the appropriate choices based on the mobile
provider selected. Two main provisioning methods are:
 Automatic Provisioning: Typically, an automatic provisioning process called IOTA (IP-
Based Over the Air) is used to provision the device. Note that automatic provisioning
requires the modem device to communicate over the mobile network and requires a
good signal to ensure proper provisioning.
 Manual Provisioning: Alternatively, a manual provisioning method can be used to
manually specify the required fields needed to access the mobile network. The manual
provisioning method is an advanced configuration normally used only for custom
network access or providers.This method is not available for all mobile providers, and
will not be available in the Mobile Device Provisioning Wizard if your mobile provider
does not support it.
Example: provision ConnectPort WAN VPN for Sprint™ PCS
The sequence of Mobile Device Provisioning Wizard screens displayed and the settings on them
vary by product and mobile service provider. If you used the Digi Device Setup Wizard for initial
configuration of your Digi device, and selected a service provider in the wizard, some of the
provisioning settings will have already been established.
Here is an example of the wizard screens for a ConnectPort WAN VPN using Sprint PCS as the
mobile service provider.
