The Configuration Process
There are four basic steps to begin using a ReliaCELL 10-20 modem:
•
Activation
establishes a usage plan with a cellular carrier.
•
Provisioning
connects the modem to the network and establishes the settings for future connections.
•
Driver Installation
sets up the host computer to communicate with the modem.
•
OS Configuration
creates a socket connection from the host computer to the Internet.
Activate the Cellular Plan
Contact your cellular service provider to establish the cellular data plan for your ReliaCELL 10-20. In most cases,
you will need to provide the MEID or IMEI of each unit you are setting up.
KORE Telematics is a Eurotech partner that provides 90-day trial data plans that are easy to establish. See the
Quick Start Guide and the Appendix for details.
Provision the Modem
Once the cellular plan is in place, you must connect the modem to a cellular network to download the device's
phone number and connection details from the host network. This is done by sending a specific AT command to
the modem.
See the Appendices for details about how to send the command via the operating system you are using. You will
need a host computer on which the appropriate drivers have already been installed.
Install Host Computer Drivers
Each host computer requires USB drivers to recognize the ReliaCELL 10-20. See the Appendices for details
about how to install the ReliaCELL 10-20 drivers for your operating system.
Configure OS to Connect to the Network
Once the drivers are installed, connect the ReliaCELL 10-20 to the Internet as follows:
1. Screw the cellular antenna cable onto the CELL SMA connector.
2. (optional) Screw the GPS antenna cable onto the GPS SMA connector.
3. Plug the ReliaCELL 10-20 into the host computer.
You may use a USB extension cable to make the connection.
The LED will blink green.
4. Set up a network connection in the operating system of the host computer.
See the Appendices for operating-system-specific details.
WARNING!
Select the tools you use to connect to the Internet with care.
Web browsing can potentially consume monthly M2M data plans in minutes.
