Section 4: Activation & WAN Setup
4.1 Activation
A modem must be activated before it can be used on the cellular network. Here are the steps
to follow to activate a modem.
4.1.1 Get an 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 box.
The cellular service provider will then provide the following account credentials:
•
Mobile Directory Number (MDN)
: the 10-digit telephone number assigned to
your unit, including the area code
•
Master Lock Code (MLC/SPC)
: the 6-digit number representing the Service
Provisioning Lock Code. If one was not provided, assume it is 000000.
•
Mobile Station ID (MIN/MSID/IMSI)
: the 10-digit or 15-digit number required
for Local Number Portability; If not provided, assume it is the same as the MDN.
•
User Name/Password (Optional):
required for network access in some cases.
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 21 (used for firmware upgrades), TCP 5070 (used
by BlueVue Device Manager), and TCP 6070 (used for troubleshooting and AT
command configuration).
4.1.2 Program the account information into the modem
Open BlueVue Device Manager and navigate to
ACT (Activation)
. The Quick Start Guide
booklet included in the modem package contains a step-by-step walkthrough for activating the
modem. The Quick Start Guide is also available at
