Account configuration procedures

Account configuration procedures

The final step to making the modem operational is configuring it to use your CDMA service provider account. The process of activation configures your modem with the required account parameters (phone number, username, password, and so on).

If you purchased a pre‐activated modem, this step is not necessary. Once the application software and drivers are installed, the modem is ready for use. Proceed to “Watcher Basics” on page 27.

Otherwise, you must either allow Watcher to complete the activation process or use the Activation Assistant to activate and configure your account.

Activating on a Mac computer

After your computer has restarted:

1.Run Watcher: in Finder™, choose Go > Applications > Sierra Wireless Watcher, and then double‐click Watcher. Watcher should start.

2.If the New Port Detected window appears, click Continue.

3.If a window appears, prompting you to enter your password, enter your Mac password, and then click OK.

Watcher displays a status message or an “Alert” window.
