TELULAR PHONECELL WITH THE 8210 SPEECH MODEM
5
4. Cellular Modem Activation
Selection of a cellular service provider involves several considerations including: signal strength at the
remote site, system type (TDMA\PCS\AMPS), and service plan cost. Most established services started with
AMPS and are required to maintain this service. Digital data service may be available and may be at a
lower cost. Consult your service providers in the area of the station to determine the best selection. Once a
service provider has been selected and service has been initiated, the SX4e needs to be programmed for
the system.
The SX4e is programmed with an ordinary tone-dial (DTMF) telephone, which is sometimes referred to as
POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) phone. The following steps provide a typical programming setup.
Consult the Phonecell SX4e User Manual for the detailed programming instructions. Except for the Mobile
Identification Number (MIN) discussed below, the factory defaults will work in most cases. Be certain to
review the programming steps given below with your service provider or have your service provider
program the Phonecell.
The exact programming may vary from model to model, refer to Telular Phonecell User Manual sent with
the unit for final instructions.
Before you begin programming, connect the antenna, plug in the power, and connect a tone-dial (DTMF)
telephone.
1)
Pick up the POTS telephone handset and listen for a tone (either a steady dial tone or a beeping no-
service tone).
2) Press: # * 0 * 1 2 3 4 4 3 2 1 #
The tone will change to a different, steady "Programming" tone and the bottom LED indicator on the
Phonecell will blink alternately RED and GREEN to indicate that you're in programming mode. You
now have two minutes to start the programming steps.
3) Press: # * 1 * <MIN> #
This key sequence is used to enter your 10-digit telephone number
(Mobile Identification Number,
or MIN)
. If you enter the number incorrectly, you'll hear 3 short tones followed by the programming
tone. If correct, you'll hear the programming tone again. If the MIN phone number value is not 10
digits, it is considered invalid and the FWT will not update or store this value; the currently stored
value will remain.
Note – With the instigation of phone number portability, user phone number may be different from the
MIN. Make certain the service provider gives you both the user phone number and the MIN.
4) Press: # * 5 * <SID> #
This key sequence is used to enter the 1- to 5-digit
System Identifier, or SID
. This information
identifies your cellular service company. If you enter the SID incorrectly, you'll hear three short tones
followed by the programming tone; if correct, you'll hear the programming tone again. If the SID value
is not in the range of 0 to 32,767, it is considered invalid. The factory default is
69
.
5) Press: # * 4 * <paging channel> #
This key sequence is used to set up your 1- to 4-digit
initial paging channel
. When you turn on your
Phonecell, this channel helps the service provider find you-and viceversa. If the paging channel is not
in the range of 1 to 1023, it is considered invalid.
NOTE: channels 800 to 990 are invalid. The factory default channel setting is
333
.
6) Press: # * 7 * <band order> #
