26 Section 2C: Setting Up Service
Data Provisioning (IOTA)
IOTA (Internet Over The Air), supported by some service providers (including
Sprint), is an automated feature to perform account setup for you by making a
connection to the CDMA network and using a secure Internet connection to
download account parameters to your Sprint Mobile Broadband USB modem. To
make this secure connection, IOTA requires that your computer support 128-bit
encryption. (See “High Encryption Requirements” on page 9.)
Depending on your configuration, the first time Sprint Connection Manager
detects the activated device, an IOTA session may automatically start, during
which status messages (“Updating User Profile…”) are displayed.
After this first activation, there may be changes to your account that require
updating the parameters in the Sprint Mobile Broadband USB modem. If this is
needed:
1. In the Device Info & Diagnostics window (page 72), click Update Data Profile.
(If this button is not displayed, remove and reinsert the device.)
2. In the IOTA Provisioning window, click Yes .
Your Sprint Mobile Broadband USB modem then retrieves the updates to your
data services account. Once the updates are successful, Sprint Connection
Manager is displayed (“Disconnected”). You can now connect to the network.
