5.6.2 Connect to the CDMA EV-DO carrier network
The LES1408A , LES1416A, LES1432A and LES1448A console servers have a n internal CDMA m odem .
The LES1508A, LES1208A-R2, LES12 16A-R2, LES1232A and LES1248A-R2 console server s also
support attaching an external USB CDMA cell ular modem from Si erra Wireless to one of i ts USB 2.0
ports. Both will conn ect to the Verizon network in North America.
After creating an account with the CDMA carrier some carrie rs require an additional step to provision the
Internal Cellular Modem, refer red t o as Provisioning. Your console server supports:
- Over-the-Air Service Provisioning (OTASP) where modem specific paramet ers can be retrieved
via a voice call to a speci al phone number, and
- a manual process whe re the phone number and other parameters can be entered manually
OTASP Activation:
Before activating over the air, you will need to establish a data plan then register the device for
activation.
Contact your carrier and provide them with your ESN (Electronic Serial Number) which can be

found on the white label on the underside of the console server.

Select Internal Cellular Modem panel on the System: Dial menu.
A particular phone number will need to be dialed to complete OTASP e.g. Verizon uses *22899,
Telus uses *22886.
Click Activate to i ni t i ate the OTASP call. The process is successful if no erro rs are displayed and
you no longer see the CDMA Modem Activati on form. ( If OTASP is unsuccessful you can consult
the System Logs for clues to what went wrong at Status: Syslog).
When OTASP has completed successfully you can proceed to enabling the Internal Cellular
Modem by entering the carriers phone number ( which defaults to #777)
Click Apply.
The Cellular statistics page on Status: Statistics will display the current st ate of the modem.
OTASP success will result in a valid phone numbe r being placed in the NAM Profile Account
MDN field.
Manual Activation:
Some carriers may not support OTASP in which case it may be necessary to manually prov i sion t he
modem.
Select Internal Cellular Modem panel on the System: Dial menu
Enter the MSL, MDN and MSID values. These values are specific to your carrie r and f or manual
activation you will have to investigate what values your carrie r uses in each field. For ex ample
Verizon have been kno wn to use an MSL of 000000 and the phone number assigned to your
console server device as both the MDN and MSID with no spaces or hy phens e.g. “5551231234
for “555-123-1234”
Click Activate. I f no error s occur you will see the new values entered into t he NAM Profile at the
Cellular page on Status: Statis ti cs
