Contact Your Network Provider
The next step in setting up your Minstrel m500 is to contact your chosen network provider and
request they set up a wireless IP service account for you.
In order to do this, the network provider will need your Minstrel m500’s EID (Equipment Identifier)
number.
This information is provided in the
Contact a Provider
window. See Figure 19.

selected network provider immediately.

appropriate DNS (Domain Name System) addresses, tap

addresses.
