Cellular Activation

GSM/GPRS/HSDPA

By default, the cellular radio is disabled.

5.3.1

Configure Cellular as the Network Default

Ethernet (ETHA) is the default network for internet access for the ProPak6. The default network can be
changed to Cellular by issuing the

SETPREFERREDNETIF CELL

command. Refer to the

OEM6

Firmware Reference Manual

(OM-20000129) for additional command details.

5.3.2

Cellular Network Activation and Configuration

The GSM/GPRS/HSDPA modem is not “locked” to any particular carrier. To activate a ProPak6 on a
GSM/GPRS/HSDPA network, follow these steps:

1. Obtain an active account and SIM card providing GSM/GPRS/HSDPA data services (recommended

data plans for Network RTK are 5GB/Month Rate Plans). The Service Provider may require the fol-
lowing information to setup an active account.

a. Product Name: ProPak6 GSM/GPRS/HSDPA

b. Modem Serial Number (IMEI): Modem serial number from ProPak6 product label

Refer

Section 2.6, Cellular Antenna Installation

page 27

for instructions on installing

a cellular radio antenna. Refer to

Section 3.1.9, Cell Port and LED

page 39

for

status LED information.



The cellular provider may require additional activation steps. Refer to any
instructions provided with the SIM card.
