Activation & WAN Setup
4.1
Activation (CDMA modems only)
A modem must be activated and configured before it can be used on the cellular network. The steps below outline how
to activate a modem. To configure the modem to connect to the wireless network after activation has been performed,
skip to the next section.
4.1.1
Obtaining a cellular account for the modem
Contact a cellular service provider
or cellular dealer and
request a CDMA account with the packet data service option
for 1xRTT, 1xEV-DO, or 1xEV-DO Rev. A. The provider will require the Electronic Serial Number (ESN) of the modem. The
ESN is located on the label under the modem as well as on the modem’s packaging box.
The cellular service provider will then provide the information required to activate the modem.
IMPORTANT
Ask your cellular service provider whether the carrier blocks incoming connections. If they do, you
will be unable to communicate with the modem remotely unless you ask the service provider to
allow incoming connections to your application’s TCP and UDP ports. If possible, ask them to open
the following ports as well: TCP 20 and TCP 21 (used for firmware upgrades), TCP 5070 (used by
BlueVue Device Manager), and TCP 6070 and 6073 (used for AT command configuration and
troubleshooting).
4.1.2
Programming the account information into the modem
The steps required to program the account information into the modem are unique to each carrier. The
Quick Start
Guide
booklet included in the modem package contains a step-by-step walkthrough for activating the modem. The latest
version of the Quick Start Guide is also available for download at
4.1.3
Confirming the success of activation
Once the activation process above is complete, navigate to
WAN (WAN Settings)
. The modem’s phone number should
be displayed at the top left as shown in Figure 6.
