Account Activation for Cellular Devices
Some MultiTech devices are pre-configured to operate on a specific cellular network. To use the device, you must
set up a cellular data account with your service provider. Each service provider has its own process for adding
devices to their network.
Device Phone Number
Every device has a unique phone number. Your service provider supplies a phone number when you activate your
account, or if your device has a SIM card, the phone number may be on it. Wireless service provider
implementation may vary. Consult with your service provider to get the phone number for your device.
Cat M1 Device Activation
For models with -MAT1 in the product name
You need to install a SIM card from your carrier for network access.
Before you can begin to use the modem, you need to set up a wireless account with your carrier. Follow these
steps to set up a wireless account:
1.
Contact your wireless provider/partner/reseller to obtain an account and a SIM card.
2.
Provide your activation agent with the following:.
a.
The modem’s unique 15-character IMEI number located on the product label.
b.
The modem model number (for example MTUC-MAT1). This number allows the carrier to verify that
the modem is approved for operation on their network.
Important:
Check your product’s label for the correct information to provide your wireless carrier. If your
product label has a section titled
Carrier Activation Information
, provide the approved radio listed on the
label. If not, provide the model number (not the ordering part number) listed on the label.
3.
Activate the SIM card, install it in the modem, and power up the device.
4.
You must program the carrier’s Access Point Name (APN) into the device before the modem is ready for
use.
Establish a terminal session with the device. To program the cellular LTE modem, issue the command:
AT+CGDCONT=1,"IPV4V6","APN_Name"
(where
APN_Name
is the APN provided by your wireless
carrier). Your wireless carrier assigns the APN. If you don’t know the APN, contact your wireless carrier.
5.
Your device should now be activated on the carrier’s network and ready for use. To check operation,
issue the command:
AT+CEREG?
The modem should respond with
+CEREG: 0,1
or
+CEREG: 0,5
showing
registration.
