Depending on your configuration, an IOTA (Internet Over The Air) session may automatically start as part of the installation process. IOTA requires high-security 128-bit encryption to establish a secure Internet connection to the CDMA network. (For more information, see “Data Provisioning [IOTA]” on page 35.)

If you are running Windows Vista or Windows XP, your computer should already include high-security 128-bit encryption.
