Configuring the AirCard involves setting the phone number
assigned by your service provider and may involve entering
other network parameters and settings such as a user name
and password to access services.
Your service provider needs to know:
•The billing information to use to collect payment for your
network usage.
•The ESN(Electronic Serial Number) assigned to your
modem during the manufacturing process. (The ESN is
printed on a label on the AirCard and can be displayed in
Watcher.) This number is used to help authenticate your
account when you connect for service.
You require from your service provider:
•An activation code that gives you access to configure the
account.
•A phone number for your AirCard.
•Additional information specific to your service provider
such as:
·A user ID (username) and password to authenticate
your network connection.
·A SID (System IDentifier) that identifies your home
network area and is used in conjunction with your
phone number to determine if you are “home” or
“roaming”.
