4.2.1.1 CDMA Provisioning
CDMA provisioning is different from GSM since CDMA (in most cases) does not use a SIM card.
The CDMA modem provisioning process creates a CDMA data connection to the mobile carrier network. This
authenticates the modem and retrieves account information which is written to flash memory on the modem
module itself, not the Digi’s configuration file. As the mobile account information is stored on the CDMA module,
performing a factory reset on the unit will not remove provisioning information from the CDMA module.
Important points:
• The modem must be provisioned on the network before it will communicate.
• The modem must be in coverage area of the native carrier. It cannot be roaming.
• There must be sufficient signal strength available to provision the modem.
• Always use MIP Profile 1 for manual provisioning unless specified otherwise by your carrier or Digi
Technical Support.
4.2.1.2 Automatic vs. Manual Provisioning
There are two types of CDMA provisioning:
Automatic
and
Manual
. This varies between carriers and even
within carriers. Settings in the Web Interface vary based on carrier plan. Below are examples for Verizon
Wireless and Sprint:
Verizon Wireless always uses
Automatic
. This means that no further settings are required in the Web Interface
- simply press Start in the Automatic section and leave the fields blank.
Sprint has two types of plans, Vision for standard Internet connections and DataLink for private IP plans:
1. Sprint Vision uses
Automatic
provisioning. There are three fields of information that may need to be
populated in the Automatic screen. Check with Sprint for correct values (if required).
2.
Sprint DataLink requires
Manual
provisioning. The required fields in the Web Interface vary based on plan
and type of embedded modem. As noted above, always use MIP Profile 1 unless otherwise specified by
your carrier or Digi Technical Support.
