Automatic Activation

One of the special features of your PinPoint X for Verizon is the

ability to activate itself automatically. When you first power on

the PinPoint X, it will check to see if it has been activated with

account data. If it finds that it has not yet been activated, the

PinPoint X will attempt to retrieve the account data from the

Verizon network using Over-the-Air Service Provisioning

(OTASP).

Caution:

You need to have an account with Verizon before you

attempt automatic activation. If you have not ordered an account

from Verizon for your PinPoint X, it will not succeed at activating.

a. Attach the antenna to your PinPoint X.

b. Plug the PinPoint X into power.

c. While the LED lights cycle from the outside to the

inside, the PinPoint X is attempting to download its

account information. The download process may take

about a minute or two.

Caution:

Do not move your PinPoint X while it is being programmed.

d. When the lights illuminate, your PinPoint X has

successfully completed OTASP and is registered on

the Verizon network.

Rev 1.0 Mar.10 29

Figure 0-9: Setup Wizard: Connection Test

Green checks in the boxes indicate the tests were successful and your PinPoint X

is functioning properly. At this point your modem is configured and activated to

work on the Verizon network.

Note: These tests, depending on the strength of your signal, may take a few minutes.

Initially, while the tests are being performed, there may be red Xs in the boxes. The Status

line will give an indication of the progress of the connection process.

If Test Modem Settings shows the status of your modem is “Data Connection

Failed - Waiting for Retry”, “No Service”, “No Carrier”, “Network Negotiation

Failed”, “Network Authentication Failed”, “Modem Not Registered”, or the Reg Net

light on the modem is not lit, double-check your device activation information and

return to the Activate Modem step to reconfigure your PinPoint X.

Private Networking Data Link is a special account configuration that provides a

more secure connection for your PinPoint X and often provides a static IP with

authentication on an exclusive server. Consult your Verizon representative for

details about Private Networking Data Link if it’s something you need for your

account.

Before you start the configuration for Private Networking, Data Link, the

connection to the network may be checked.

Caution:

Ensure the PinPoint X has been activated before you proceed with the Private

Networking Data Link steps. Configuring Private Networking Data Link before the PinPoint

X has been activated can prevent successful activation.

When the Private Networking Data Link configuration is completed, the

connection to the network will be tested again.

Note: Using DUN, the

speed of the connection is

the limited to the

connection between the

modem and the computer.

This may be less than the

total bandwidth available

with EV-DO HSDPA.

Dial-up Networking (DUN) allows a computer or other device to use the serial port

on a PinPoint X to connect to the Internet or private network just like an analog

modem using a standard phone line. The Setup Wizard will install a driver for the

PinPoint X and set up the connection between your computer and the PinPoint X.

You will need to have administrator access on the computer for this section of the

installation.

If you already have other modems installed on your computer, they will be listed

on the Sierra Wireless AirLink Modem Installation screen. If you have other

modems installed on your computer using the same serial port, they may conflict.

As long as you do not intend to use them, you can Remove other modems using

this menu.
