TRU-Install

TRU-Install is a Sierra Wireless feature that installs the necessary software and drivers the first time you insert the card into your Windows or Mac computer. An installation CD is not required.

One Touch Activation

Where supported by the network, One Touch Activation (IOTA 2.4) lets you easily activate your card. When prompted, you simply click “Yes” to indicate that you’d like the network to autoprogram your card. If this is successful, you are ready to connect to the network.
