6. Click Finish to close the Activation Wizard.

7. Wait a few moments for the USB modem to automatically reset. Depending

on your configuration, an IOTA session may automatically start. (See “Data
Provisioning [IOTA]” on page 27.)

After Sprint sets up your account on the network, your USB modem should be
configured and ready for use. To learn about using the software, see “Using the
USB Modem on a Windows Computer” on page 29.

Data Provisioning (IOTA)

IOTA (Internet Over The Air), supported by some service providers (including
Sprint), is an automated feature to perform account setup for you by making a
connection to the CDMA network and using a secure Internet connection to
download account parameters to your USB modem. To make this secure
connection, IOTA requires that your computer support 128-bit encryption. (See
“High Encryption Requirements (Windows)” on page 10.)

Depending on your configuration, the first time Sprint Connection Manager
detects the activated USB modem, an IOTA session may automatically start,
during which status messages (“Updating User Profile…”) are displayed.

After this first activation, there may be changes to your account that require
updating the parameters in the USB modem. If this is needed:

1. In the Device Info & Diagnostics window (page 77), click Update Data Profile.

(If this button is not displayed, remove and reinsert the USB modem.)

2. In the IOTA Provisioning window, click Yes.

Your USB modem then retrieves the updates to your data services account. Once
the updates are successful, Sprint Connection Manager is displayed
(“Disconnected”). You can now connect to the network.
