Installation Guide

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”.
