Activating a Cellular Modem Account

Before using the cellular modem, a cellular account must be activated on a service provider's network. Once the
account is activated, the modem will be able to connect to the cellular network without further intervention. The
are two account activation methods used by RUGGEDCOM ROX II: OTA (Over-the-Air) and Manual.
The following sections describe the different methods for activating a cellular account:
• Section 3.22.7.1, "Activating a Cellular Modem Account Over-the-Air"
• Section 3.22.7.2, "Activating a Cellular Modem Account Manually"
Section 3.22.7.1

Activating a Cellular Modem Account Over-the-Air

RUGGEDCOM ROX II supports the OTASP (Over-the-Air Service Provisioning) mechanism offered by most
CDMA cellular service providers for provisioning cellular end stations for use on their networks. Using this
method, the service provider (or carrier) supplies an OTASP dial string which RUGGEDCOM ROX II can use to
activate the cellular account. During this OTASP call, the carrier authorizes and configures the modem for use on
its network.
NOTE
The service provider may issue a second OTASP dial string for accessing the cellular network if
a string other than the default is required. This string must be configured when adding a CDMA
profile for the cellular modem interface. For more information about adding a CDMA profile, refer to
Section 5.13.1.2, "Adding a CDMA
NOTE
A typical OTASP dial string begins with *228.
To configure the OTASP dial string, type:
1. Make sure the CLI is in Configuration mode.
