2.1
Cellular
Configuration
Cellular connectivity is obtained through the use of an internal (embedded) RF Module.
Your Red Lion RTU or router has an embedded radio that has been detected and may be configured for the
intended carrier. If you are using a carrier that supports the use of an Access Point Name (APN), you may have to
set your specific APN manually, as covered in the next section. For GSM and LTE service, carriers may provide
custom APNs for static IP addresses of VPNs scenarios depending on the type of account.
The 69xx and 99xx model families support switching between multiple carriers. Navigate to the Network
Cellular
Connection
Provisioning screen to verify your carrier has been provisioned correctly for these models.
CDMA carriers 3G networks such as Verizon and Sprint do not rely on a SIM card and are activated over the air.
See the Cellular Provisioning
Section 2.1.3
of the manual for more details on CDMA OTA activations.
Embedded modules for CDMA (Sprint / Verizon) should activate automatically over the air once they are powered
on and connected to an antenna. This of course is after you contact your carrier and have an account enabled and
connected to the embedded module by providing the ESN / MEID number from the module to your carrier. This is
how the carrier will tie your account to the internal cellular radio. For some CDMA based 1xRTT internal modules
and Sprint Data-Link connections, additional configuration must be set in the Provisioning screen, detailed later.
