Over-The-Air Account Activation
ROX™ supports the OTASP (Over-the-Air Service Provisioning) mechanism offered by most CDMA
cellular service providers for provisioning cellular end stations for use on their networks. Using this
method, the service provider, or carrier, supplies an OTASP dial string which ROX™ can use to contact
the cellular network via the modem. During this OTASP call, the carrier authorizes and configures the
modem for use on its network. Note that an OTASP dial string typically begins with "*228".
The path to the CDMA Over The Air Activation form and Trigger Action form is interface/modem/lm6 /
1/cdma/OverTheAirActivation.
