LTE Cell Service Activation for
the 6712Ci Modem Module
Overview
This instruction sheet will cover setting up Verizon
LTE service for your modem. In the past, Teledyne ISCO
installed CDMA service on cellular products due to the
hardware needed to input the service into the device.
With LTE service, a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM)
card is used to input the service into your cellular
device.
SIM Cards
In order to use this device, you will have to establish
service with your carrier and obtain a SIM card. Tele-
dyne ISCO LTE modems work with Micro SIM cards
(Figure 1).
Figure 1: Types of SIM cards
Note
Read the entire instruction sheet before contacting
your service provider.
Contact Service Provider
Contact Verizon to get a SIM card (Micro SIM card is
required) (
Verizon SKU: DFILLSIM3FF-D)
.
1. Inform Verizon that you need an
M2M plan with
text messaging enabled
.
2. If you want to contact the modem via IP address,
request an
Unrestricted Static IP Address
.
3. Verizon will ask you to provide them with the
IMEI number
of the unit. This number is specific
to each unit and the location can be found on the
unit (Figure 2).
Figure 2: Location of IMEI number
The M2M plan, with text messaging enabled, will use
bytes, not minutes, and will allow for alarm text mes-
sages to be sent from the sites if you wish to set up
alarm conditions. If Verizon asks, the hardware for these
units will be: Nimbelink Skywire NL-SW-LTE-GELS3
modem. Typical usage would be less than 5MB per
month.
●
For
6712Ci
cell phone packages also consider
how you will use it and the service options.
●
If you desire to contact the unit remotely from
your desk, you have two options with the 6712Ci:
❍
If you intend to connect frequently to the site
remotely, an
UNRESTRICTED STATIC IP
ADDRESS
may be preferable. This will keep
the IP address the same at all times and you
will be able to contact the site using the same
IP address, via Flowlink, each time. There is
an additional Verizon charge for this feature.
Text message alarms can also be sent.
❍
If you are utilizing the 6712Ci primarily for its
text message alarming, the
dynamic IP
address
included in the telemetry/data plan
may be sufficient. In the 6712Ci, it is possible
to contact sites with a dynamic IP. Prior to
connecting to the site, you would send the
text message (
6712 status
) to the phone num-
ber of that site. The site will respond, via a
text, with the IP address of that unit for the
next 20 minutes. Utilizing Flowlink, connect
using the IP address returned in the text.
Note
After 20 minutes the phone automatically cycles
power and that IP address is then no longer valid. You
have to text the unit again and it will then send
another text message with a different IP address good
for the next 20 minutes.
