procedures
The final step to making the modem operational is configuring
it to use your
CDMA service provider account. The process of
activation configures your modem with the required account
parameters (phone number, username, password, and so on).
If you purchased a pre‐activated modem, this step is not
necessary. Once the application software and drivers are
installed, the modem is ready for use. Proceed to
“Watcher
Basics” on page 27.
Otherwise, you must either allow Watcher to complete the
activation process or use the Activation Assistant to activate
and configure your account.
