Provisioning the Cellular Service to the Gateway
To activate the cellular service to the Gateway, complete the
following steps.
1. Select your preferred wireless service provider.
When selecting a carrier, choose a wireless service provider
that provides service in the area of the installation site and is
approved by your utility.
Certain cellular services, such as Code Division Multiple
Access (CDMA), do not require a SIM card to operate.
However, some cellular services do require a SIM card, such
as GSM (UMTS, EDGE, and GPRS). Verify with the chosen
cellular service provider.
2. Identify the modem identification numbers from the Gateway
International Mobile Equipment Identifier (IMEI) and Mobile
Equipment Identifier (MEID).
3. After selecting the carrier, contact them to obtain a SIM card
(if applicable) which needs to be activated with an unlimited
data plan.
4. When you have the SIM card activated, make sure the unit is
turned off and insert it into the cellular modem.
5. After you have completed all the above steps, configure the
cellular modem as described in "Configuring the Cellular
Modem" on page 108 of Appendix D.
