7.3.2 Cellular Activation Quick Start Guide
Sensonix CDMA cellular modems (based on the Telit CE910-DUAL) are ready to be activated when they leave the factory.
Successful activation of every device on the cellular network requires two basic steps:
1. Attaching a data plan to the particular device
2. Completing Over-the-Air Service Provisioning (OTASP)
To attach a cellular data plan:
1. Select a data plan with a carrier that uses the Verizon network, working with Verizon directly or using an MVNO
such as M2MAir or KORE Telematics.
2. Set up an account with the selected carrier.
3. When working with cellular devices you may be required to log into a web portal provided by the carrier and follow
their instructions for device activation.
4. It is very important to make sure the carrier knows that the data plan is being attached to the device known as
SENSX001.
5. Remove the DXM100 housing cover to see the cellular modem. Use the MEID printed on the Telit CE910-DUAL
cellular modem to uniquely identify the device. The carrier requires this number to attach a monthly data plan.
