6.6.2 CONNECTING TO A CDMA EV-DO CARRIER NETWORK
Console server models denoted with -V have an internal CDMA modem and will connect to the Verizon network in North America.
After creating an account with the CDMA carrier, some carriers require an additional step to provision the Internal Cellular Modem,
known as Provisioning. The console servers support:
Over-the-Air Service Provisioning (OTASP) where modem-specific parameters can be retrieved via a voice call to a special phone
number, and
a manual process where the phone number and other parameters are entered manually.
OTASP
NOTE Before this can be achieved, a working account and an activated device are required. In this case, an activated device is a Black
Box console server which has had its ESN (Electronic Serial Number) registered with an appropriate plan on your carrier’s
account.
Navigate to System > Dial.
Click the Internal Cellular Modem tab.
Enter the particular phone number which must be dialed to complete OTASP.
For example, Verizon uses *22899 and Telus uses *22886.
FIGURE 6-9.
Click Activate. This initiates the OTASP call.
The process is successful if no errors are displayed and you no longer see the CDMA Modem Activation form.
If OTASP is unsuccessful consult the System Logs at Status > Syslog for clues to what went wrong.
When OTASP has completed enable the Internal Cellular Modem by entering the carrier’s phone number.
By default, this number is #777.
Click Apply.
To confirm OTASP success, and to display the modem’s current state:
Navigate to Status> Statistics.
